The Knicks quickly identified Brown, NBA Coach of the Year in both Cleveland and Sacramento, as a candidate they wanted to speak with. He had his second interview on Tuesday.

Mike Brown has coached LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Steph Curry and other NBA greats. He will bring his vast experience to the New York Knicks.

Brown has had a relatively unusual head coaching career. Rather than starting out with a young team and growing slowly, he was thrown into the fire as the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers right as LeBron James began to grow into a superstar.
