First
I remember that season,they got Uncle Mike up out of there quick! Not fair in my opinion 😎🍻🍺
He was booboo
Lamar odom is criminally underrated. Those lakers teams dont win without him. 6'10 could score, rebound, play pg-pf with ease. Wasnt a great shooter but could definitely knock them down and defend
"Kobe looks at you in the eye and tell you what he wants to say" – I can replay the clip in my head where Kobe was on the bench giving Mike Brown the death stare
Wasn't he running the Princeton Offense? Or was that D'antoni?
He did well initially
Buss Brothers signed him thinking it would save his job. He legit tanked the team over a family dispute. Casuals will say Kobe was old and wasn't good enough to win another chip. Wrong
I feel like Mike could probably do a mean e40 impression
He wasn’t ready for that job, it should’ve went to Byron Scott
Ain't going to lie I wished that Bron could have joined LA in 2010.
Brown did a good job with the Cavs those 5 years.
LA is a hard market to coach in, the fans are gonna be hard on you if you don't win. I liked Mike Brown when he coached in Cleveland.
Mike Brown tried to run a hybrid style Princeton offense. Lmaooooo
Bro the coaches dun had so many coaches over the past 15 years to the point I forgot he even coached there
I wish he didn’t take the job lol
No disrespect to Mike Brown, he really do seem like a great guy and a good coach, but I don't see in him being a championship caliber coach. I see he has that drive, that gear to get there, but something really feels missing for him to motivate his players.
Did Ron change his name already.. he didn't know what he was🤣🤣🤣
Chris Paul should have been a Laker that year, they did Mike Brown dirty when it was David Stern who vetoed that trade. And Dwight Howard would join a year later. They would have gotten Chris Paul, Kobe, and Howard in the same team
Should’ve just kept it simple and let the players run basic stuff, no gimmicks
