Sacramento is still getting to know Kings coach Mike Brown as he enters his first season at the helm, but his reputation precedes him after decades of service in the NBA.
Los Angeles Lakers coach Darvin Ham and four-time MVP LeBron James have watched Brown work from various vantage points over the years. Most recently, they found themselves on the short end of two blowout losses to the Kings as Brown led Sacramento to a 4-0 preseason record, including 30- and 47-point victories over the Lakers.
“I expect this franchise to make a turn for the better,” Ham said. “Mike is relentless. He’s not going to stop. I think Mike is going to do some wonderful things with this franchise.”
