He has now explained the similirities between basketball and soccer. In an interview with Chris Shaw of LiverpoolFC.com, Kerr said that Mohamed Salah made him support the club. The four-time champion coach started watching the Premier League five years ago when Salah arrived at Liverool. "I started following the Premier League maybe five or six years ago," Kerr said. "I had seen Mohamed Salah play and read about him. I was just so impressed by his character and what he had done in his hometown, helping to build a school." He added: "I knew how beloved he was in Egypt, so I said, 'That's my guy.' I wanted to cheer for Mohamed Salah. When I found out he played for Liverpool, I said, 'OK, that's my team' So, I've been a Liverpool fan ever since."

The Warriors coach spent some time in Egypt as a teen, attending Cairo American College for three years. He recently returned to Cairo to coach kids at the Africa Basketball without Borders programme. Kerr also met Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp during his trip to England. He says that he can learn a lot from watching soccer. "Even though there's 11 players in soccer and only five in basketball, it's still very much a game about three people," Kerr said. "Whoever has the ball and whoever is closest to that player. And being able to pass and move in small triangles across the court or the pitch. Trying to beat your man and beat the defender with cutting and spacing, it's all very similar." He added: "I'm still trying to learn more about soccer. I'm not an expert, but I enjoy watching it. I feel like I'm always learning something."
