After De’Aaron Fox, elected “Clutch Player of the Year” last night, it was the turn of another member of the Kings to be rewarded by the NBA and, again, it is a logical and expected coronation. In effect, mike brown has been designated ” Coach of the Year » 2023 at the expense of Mark Daigneault (Thunder) and Joe Mazzulla (Celtics).
Already named Coach of the Year by his peers, the 53-year-old technician also won the prize among journalists, succeeding Monty Williams on the list. As desired by the GM of Sacramentohe even triumphs unanimously, a first in history, and that makes him the 11th double titled coach. We remember that the one who also officiates as coach of Nigeria won in 2009, when he was at the head of the Cavaliers of LeBron James, and this interval of 14 years is the second longest of all time, behind the 26-year-old Hubie Brown between 1978 and 2004.
A just reward for Mike Brown, at the end of this season which he describes as unforgettable. It must be said that, for his first year on the bench of the Kings, the former assistant of Gregg Popovich (Spurs) or Steve Kerr (Warriors) quite simply brought the Californian franchise back to the playoffs, and squarely in the Top 3 of the West, 17 years after his last qualification. Giving him, as a bonus, the status of the most effective attack in history.
No coincidence that under the leadership of their now “Coach of the Year”Sacramento leads 2-0 against defending champions Golden State in the first round.
