The Mike Brown non-negotiable with Knicks on brink of Finals

The final and solely time head coach Mike Brown gained the convention finals, he was admittedly only a spectator to the magnificence of LeBron James.

Back when scoring was at a premium in 2007, LeBron reeled off 25 consecutive factors in a historic Game 5 win over the Pistons. It was jaw-dropping and Brown’s technique was simply to remain out of the best way.

“In the midst of it, I’ll never forget,” Brown, who was teaching the Cavaliers on the time, recalled Friday. “Detroit calls a timeout, and we went to huddle as a workers, and I had nice coaches, and one of them was like, ‘We gotta inform him this! We gotta inform him that!’

“And I used to be like, ‘There’s no manner in hell I’m moving into that huddle to inform him something proper now the best way he is cooking, I’m simply gonna let him cook dinner. I’m not saying something to him.’ And he went on the market and he simply — he was wonderful. “That was the best seat in the house to watch.”
