Can someone explain why Mike Brown is such a horrible choice? His Lebron led teams were definitely overachievers, Coach Brown deserves at least an iota of credit for turning that team of journeymen plus Lebron into title contenders.
Exactly
Those same scrubs, Lebron played with Mike Brown had to coach too. In 2009 Cleveland was 5th all time in single season wins with 66 wins. Thats not all Lebron. Thats a little bit of coaching too.
The thing that hard for Mike Brown is that the Lakers are a descending team, even if Phil was back, a 3rd or 4th place finish was likely. So what will be considered successful for him? a 2nd place finish and trip to Western conference Finals? What can you expect barring a major trade which is very unlikely to happen?
