He is only 53 years old but Mike Brown already has a long and rich career on the NBA benches. He played in the Finals in 2007 with the Cavaliers, then won the coach of the year trophy two years later, still with LeBron James, before leading Kobe Bryant to the Lakers.
Then, he arrived in Golden State to assist Steve Kerr, winning two titles in passing, and even ensuring the interim during the 2017 playoffs. Finally, there is this season in Sacramento, which will be crowned with a qualification for the playoffs in a few days.
“It’s still a bit early, but for now, I can’t say it’s my best experience”, he says for the Ariel Helwani Basketball Show. “But it’s definitely one of the two or three highlights of my career. Mainly for the energy that revolves around the franchise, the city, with the people. »
The feat is significant and could allow him to win a second trophy as coach of the year: the Kings will return to the playoffs after 17 years of scarcity. A whole generation of fans has not known this smell, this atmosphere so special.
“I see the faces of the fans when I go out, I see the joy, the pride they have and that we were able to bring to them. There is nothing more pleasant in life, in my opinion, than to touch unknown people, to bring them happiness. Accomplishing something bigger than yourself is an unparalleled feeling. »
