Mark Jackson is often credited with laying down the groundwork for Steph Curry’s Warriors

The Golden State Warriors hired Mark Jackson in June 2011. He coached them for three seasons, from 2011 to 2014, and is credited with laying the groundwork for the Warriors' dynasty.

Jackson took over a Golden State roster consisting of a third-year Steph Curry and a rookie Klay Thompson. He also helped the team draft Draymond Green in 2012 and led the Warriors to back-to-back playoff appearances in 2013 and 2014.

Mark Jackson also played a role in the Monta Ellis trade that made Curry the focal point of the Warriors offense.

Jackson was let go in 2014 and was replaced by Steve Kerr, who went on to win four championships in 10 years after making six trips to the NBA Finals. But, if it wasn’t for the work done by Jackson, Kerr might not have enjoyed as much success as he did in the Bay Area.

After leaving Golden State, the former NBA coach worked as a commentator for ESPN before stepping down in 2023.
