It took 25 seconds for Mike Brown to reference ending the Knicks’ 52-year championship drought.
Brown, who was launched Tuesday because the Knicks head coach, bought the memo — actually — from crew president Leon Rose. On this case, the memo was the assertion Rose issued saying “our group is singularly centered on successful a championship” after firing Tom Thibodeau on the heels of reaching the Japanese Convention finals.
“Our objective … is to construct a sustainable successful tradition that produces championships. That’s why I’m right here,” Brown stated in his opening assertion. “I’m lucky to know what it takes to create that success.”
Brown referenced his résumé — six NBA Finals appearances with three completely different franchises — however casually omitted that his 4 rings (one with the Spurs and three with the Warriors) got here as an assistant coach. He went 0-1 within the Finals as Cavaliers head coach.
