Brooklyn Nets: A new kind of pressure for Kenny Atkinson
Brooklyn Nets head coach Kenny Atkinson is entering his third season. With two losing seasons under his belt, but constant improvements throughout his tenure, does Atkinson have pressure entering the 2018-19 season?
Kenny Atkinson was named the Brooklyn Nets head coach on April 17, 2016. Before he took the Nets head coaching job, Atkinson was an assistant coach for the New York Knicks (2008-12) and the Atlanta Hawks (2012-16).
His first coaching gig came as an assistant for Paris Basket Racing, a professional club in France, from 2004-06.
