The world of sports has a new nepo baby standing courtside and it’s famed basketball coach Steve Kerr’s son, who has been promoted to head coach of the G League’s Santa Cruz Warriors. The unfortunate thing is that people are reminded that Steve Kerr named his son, Nick.
You can put the pieces together.
And now with his new professional title, Nick has spared every sports journalist and announcer by electing to go by his full name, Nicholas. Despite this, Kerr’s name trended on Twitter after his promotion from assistant to head coach was announced.
And it seems that all articles reporting about the new G League coach will continue to be met with hostility, confusion and so, so, so many jokes.
Honestly, a middle name would’ve helped the poor guy out.

Today I learned that Steve Kerr named his son Nicholas and he doesn't go by Nikky or Nicholas he goes by Nick with no middle initial. Let that sink in.
