Brown has had a relatively unusual head coaching career. Rather than starting out with a young team and growing slowly, he was thrown into the fire as the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers right as LeBron James began to grow into a superstar.

The crew over at NBA were tossing around the idea of Mike Brown possibly joining the Knicks, and Marc Spears jumped in with a little inside scoop. He said he actually talked to Brown and warned him, “Man, there’s a lot of pressure with this gig it’s a whole different beast.” But Brown didn’t even flinch. He said, “I love it. I want this.”
