The Kings are in the playoffs for the first time since 2006 and will take on the defending champion Warriors in the first round.
To leave a dynasty in the Golden State Warriors, where he won three rings in six years as an assistant, for a doormat up the road that hadn’t won a title since nearly two decades before Brown was born, when the franchise was known as the Rochester Royals? That was borderline. Especially when you consider that for 16 years, Sacramento wasn’t just a landfill of broken promises and bad decisions but a graveyard of coaches whose NBA careers ended in shame.
Over a team dinner before the season began, he asked for everyone to sign the “All In” contract, from Kings owner Vivek Ranadivé on down to his two-way players. The Kings have three framed copies of the agreement — one that hangs in the locker room in Golden 1 Center, one in the team’s training facility and another that travels with the team on the road. Brown keeps a copy in his phone.
“When I look back, there’s not much I would change,” Brown said, reflecting on his stints in Cleveland and L.A. “I was able to learn and evolve as a coach.”
