The documentary short "All the Empty Rooms," produced by Kerr, has won the Oscar for Best Documentary Short.
"I think the more people who watch it, the more impact it will have. And that's the main thing for me — what I want is for people to act. I want people to be proactive with this issue, to address it and understand it," Kerr said about what the Oscar means for the film, via Priority Sports.
"My hope is that if people can address it and understand it a little bit, then they'll be more willing to act on it."
Steve Kerr became the third NBA legend to also add an Oscar to his résumé.
Kobe Bryant won an Oscar in 2018 for Best Animated Short Film, "Dear Basketball."
Meanwhile, Shaquille O'Neal and Steph Curry won an Oscar in 2022 as executive producers for the documentary short "The Queen of Basketball."
Kerr is a nine-time NBA champion. He won five titles as a player — three with the legendary Chicago Bulls teams of the 1990s and two with the San Antonio Spurs—before adding four more championships as the head coach of the Warriors.
