Best NBA players to win NBA Finals with two or more teams: 28. Steve Kerr

Speaking of being ahead of their time, Steve Kerr is the type of role player that plenty of championship quality teams look for today. Kerr was one of the greatest shooters of all-time, as evidenced by his 45.4 three-point percentage, the highest in NBA history. He bounced around the league a little before coming to the Chicago Bulls in 1993. While his first two seasons in Chicago came with Michael Jordan playing baseball, Kerr would become a teammate of the greatest player of his generation before long.

Kerr was an essential piece of the 72-10 Chicago Bulls team that won the championship in 1996, Kerr’s first. That would remain the best record in league history until the Golden State Warriors, coached by Steve Kerr, broke the record in the 2016-2017 season. Kerr would remain with the Bulls through the 1998 season, winning two more titles.

After five seasons in Chicago, Steve Kerr moved on to a new dynastic team in the making in the San Antonio Spurs. While his role would diminish as he got older, Kerr was still a valued locker room presence during his time there. Kerr was a part of the first title in franchise history and was just the second non-Celtic to win four straight NBA championships and the second player to ever win a title with different teams in consecutive seasons.

In his final season in the league (2002-2003) Kerr won his fifth and final championship, again with the San Antonio Spurs. At the time of his retirement, Steve Kerr held the record for single-season 3-point percentage (52.4) and career 3-point percentage (45.4).
