A little whiff of revenge for Mike Brown
On December 27, 2024, the day after a loss to the Pistons where he was very angry, Mike Brown was dismissed from Kraljevo. A year later, almost to the day, the coach will play the finals of the NBA Cup with the Knicks, against the Spurs. Real revenge, right?
“There are changes in life, not only for me, but also for others and you have to be ready to change direction”, he comments. “I feel fortunate, blessed to be in this situation with the Knicks. Most of the time we don’t have a lot of control over our destiny, over our path. So to be in a franchise like this, with these players, with this owner, with Leon Rose, you have to take advantage of it.”
The New York coach is therefore not so vindictive. “I don’t have a lot of time to dwell on my past. I’m in the present and I’m trying to improve this franchise.”he continues.
For his part, Jalen Brunson, affected by the departure of Tom Thibodeau June, speaks highly of his new coach. “Our relationship has evolved. Our communication is great. He’s great. His way of pushing us, of making us accountable, we needed and I thank him for that.” explains the playmaker.
