And that's what Mike Brown has done here.

You know, I actually played for Mike Brown in Indiana as well.

You know, he was assistant coach there.

So, you know, I have a relationship with him and I know that he's always been a brilliant offensive mind.

I think obviously as a head coach, he's had a lot of success.

I mean, this is his second finals, right?

He took a young Cavaliers team,

to the finals before.

You know, he's had some success in his other stops, and then he was in Golden State for forever, where they won a couple championships as well.

So he has championship predigree.

He knows what it looks like.

He knows what to expect from players and how to bring the best out of them, and that's what he's done here in New York.

And look at it now.

He headed to the finals, first time in 20-plus years.

I do, honestly.

And it's funny because I mean, I don't even remember early in the year.

It seems like, you know, Mike Brown and Carl Anthony Towns was butting heads a little bit.

And I think maybe it might have been Mike telling him, like, yo, stop focusing on only scoring.

You can make plays for this team.

And I think he finally woke up as this playoffs got going.
