When the New York Knicks hired Mike Brown as their new head coach, the response was inevitably divided. New York is looking to make the leap from Conference Finalists to champions, and Brown hasn't yet achieved that dream in a lead position.
If there's one player who should be thrilled about Brown's arrival, however, it's superstar point guard Jalen Brunson—a player whom the new head coach can help win MVP.
Brown has produced an impressive NBA career as a head coach, going 454-304 in the regular season and 50-40 in the playoffs. He's coached superstars, players on the rise, and everyone in between, each time revealing an intriguing ability to connect with his point guards and primary playmakers.
