Player, coach and announcer Johnny "Red" Kerr was born in Chicago, Illinois on this date in 1932.
A Chicago HS Public league champ and standout at Illinois, Johnny was a three time all-star in the NBA and went on to become the Bulls very first coach in 1966. Kerr would later become a Bulls announcer, a job he joyfully held for some 33 years including all of the Jordan era. He died on February 26, 2009. In a sad coincidence, Bulls great and fellow broadcaster Norm Van Lier died the same day.
