Mike Brown will get to take a bow in front of his former fans Sunday night when the ex-assistant coach for the NBA title-winning Golden State Warriors leads his new team, the Sacramento Kings, into San Francisco to duel the reigning champs. Brown spent the past six seasons as Steve Kerr's chief assistant, helping guide Golden State to championships in 2017 and 2018 before last season's NBA Finals triumph over the Boston Celtics. Brown hadn't even experienced the Warriors' championship parade in June before he was named head coach of the Kings, who had fired Luke Walton early in the season and then did not retain interim replacement Alvin Gentry after the club completed its 16th straight season without a playoff berth.
