• The Bounce: Mike Brown’s chaotic journey to the verge of an NBA title - The Athletic

  “I’ve hated the 3 for 20 years. That’s why I make a joke all the time (and say) if we’re going to make it a different game, let’s have a 4-point play. Because if everybody likes the 3, they’ll really like the 4. People will jump out of their seats if you have a 5-point play. It will be great. There’s no basketball anymore; there’s no beauty in it. It’s pretty boring. But it is what it is, and you need to work with it.” That takes us to the Knicks’ Mike Brown, who at one point was viewed as a limited NBA head coach.

The Knicks are on the cusp of breaking their 53-year championship drought. It would be the first “double” in league history, with New York winning the NBA Cup and the Larry O’Brien trophy. James Dolan would have to put a banner up for both. [...] During Brown’s first coaching stint, he had incredible success with a young LeBron James (yes, he was young once) and the Cleveland Cavaliers from 2005-10. The Cavs were 305-187 (.620) with a 42-29 playoff record (.592) under Brown, including a finals appearance in 2007 (they were swept). The knock on Brown’s coaching was that he had a genius mind for defense but ran uncreative offense. Any success on the latter end of the floor was credited to James, and the playoffs were used as examples of that.
