The New York Knicks finally found a new head coach, coming in the form of two-time Coach of the Year Mike Brown.
The Knicks considered multiple candidates for the job, ultimately deciding to go with Brown after he impressed the team with his leadership qualities.
However, not everyone is a fan of the hiring. Former NBA All-Star Jeff Teague insinuated on his Club 520 Podcast that he isn’t impressed with the Knicks’ coaching decision.
“l ain't never really heard too many people like Mike Brown,” Teague said. “I ain’t saying they don’t, I just never heard nobody sing high praises for Mike Brown.”
While he noted that Brown isn’t necessarily a bad coach, he feels as though the team might as well have just kept Thibodeau instead of hiring Brown.
Teague then also mentioned the lack of praise regarding Brown coming from LeBron James, who played under Brown’s guide in Cleveland from 2005-2010.
“I never heard Bron say anything like Mike Brown is unbelievable,” Teague said. “I mean, I never really heard Mike. He talked about Ty, Tyronn Lue. Yeah, that’s the only coach I ever heard him talk about.”
The 2015 All-Star also scoffed at Brown’s alleged lack of achievements. “Everywhere he goes, he never did nothing,” he said.
