This is clearly how Steve was free when Jordan passed him the ball for the three to win the Finals game years back.

Steve Kerr and Steve Kerr were clearly the inspiration for The Prestige.

I was like, “oh, he’s there to watch a game” - not realizing that of course he’d be on the bench, the the camera panned, lol. And also, when Kerr actual, stares at Kerr doppelganger, does doppelganger stare back and then goes about his business without even a slight nod?

u/runnergirl3333 10h ago

Great article from 2024 with the background story

"I just thought he was strikingly handsome," Kerr said at a recent Warriors practice in Los Angeles, flashing a smile.”

u/OlorinDK Warriors 9h ago

Oh, awesome, thanks! I did not catch that back then! He seems really chill about it too, very Kerr-like. And wth. his name is Steve and he’s a coach?? So Kerr definitely knows about him then.

The no nod is fucking crazier than the whole thing itself lol

69

u/OlorinDK Warriors 12h ago

Yeah, there are multiple things:

  • No one around doppelganger seem to react, but I guess at this point they’ve noticed him
  • Steve sits with his back to the audience, gets up and points at someone, but it’s unclear who, and noone seems to react!
  • Steve moves around a bit, camera pans away for a brief moment, but when it comes back it looks like he has been standing there for minutes!
  • Camera pans away again
  • When the camera returns to Steve, he is back in his seat, seemingly talking about something else…

Like, wth… I’d at least mention it to someone, but perhaps he doesn’t want to cast any attention to the man and have everyone turn around. The man clearly wants to go about his business, lol.

The problem is the height. NBA players are always significantly taller than they look on camera. Fake Steve Kerr is probably 5'10.
