Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, fresh off suggesting the NBA call itself the “No Bullsh*t Association,” recently showed up on the “Pablo Torre Finds Out” podcast and got introduced to his actual, real-life doppelgänger. And get this: the guy’s name is *also* Steve. We’re talking Steve Gillis, a bona fide English teacher and youth volleyball coach who’s even on staff with the US Men’s National Team. The two Steves apparently hit it off so well, Kerr couldn’t help but tell Gillis, “You are a stunningly handsome man.”
The Steves Hit It Off, But There’s a Catch
This whole segment, which you can watch if you’re into it, had Kerr meeting his viral lookalike, Steve Gillis. It seems like Gillis has been building up to this. Pablo Torre, the host, was quick to point out all the ways Gillis was clearly taking advantage of their similarities, even though Gillis was adamant he wasn’t. But hey, when you look like a famous NBA coach and are also named Steve, it’s hard to ignore. The source article warns that the segment ends with a little chuckle that could easily get twisted by the “bad faith right wing outrage machine.” Given that right wing figure James O’Keefe was just charged for trying to commit voting fraud in a stunt to “prove” how easy it is, this “fun” story suddenly has some interesting, dare we say, political undertones. Kerr previously spoke at the Democratic National Convention back in August 2024, so he’s no stranger to the political arena.
The Plans and The Doppelganger Dilemma
The wildest part? These two Steves are apparently “making plans.” What kind of plans? That’s the million-dollar question. While the article itself calls this a “fun story” and “not Warriors news,” you can’t help but wonder what comes next when you have a prominent NBA figure and his exact lookalike cooking something up. Sometimes these lookalike situations go from fun to straight-up bizarre. Remember Dawson “Big Daws” Gurley, the Klay Thompson lookalike? That dude actually got past security at Chase Center, shot hoops for ten minutes, and ended up with a lifetime ban. And he still made some cash doing it. So, while Steve Kerr is having a laugh with his mirror image, the history of celebrity lookalikes shows things can definitely get weird.
So, what are these “plans” the Steves are making? Are they just grabbing coffee, or is something bigger brewing? We’ll have to wait and see if these “stunningly handsome” discussions lead anywhere, or if this is just a quick, viral moment in an otherwise busy regular season. Either way, it’s a reminder that you never know who’s out there making plans that might just get everyone talking.
