Sacramento Kings coach Mike Brown is a master motivator. That’s part of why he won Coach of the Year last season. This year, he’s using the promise of the prize money from the in-season tournament - $500K per player and head coach of the winning team - to get his team fired up for the games in West Group C, which concludes with Tuesday’s game between the Kings and Golden State Warriors.
Sam Amick reported that Brown and his staff came up with different ways to emphasize how far $500,000 could go.
“They put up what size house you can buy in Oklahoma City for half a million dollars,” Brown said with a smile.
