It’s finally official: Mike Brown is the 2023 NBA Coach of the Year! The technician is Kings is rewarded for his prowess at the helm of the Sacramento team, which he managed to bring back to the Playoffs following 17 years of scarcity. To achieve this ? A well-honed game… and in the end, a well-deserved reward, with a unanimous vote!
There was little suspense in this competition. Who from Mark Daigneault (Thunder), Joe Mazzulla (Celtics) or Mike Brown (Kings) was going to be able to touch the coach of the year trophy? Mark and Joe have had great seasons in their respective teams, but neither of the two thieves will finally manage to get Mike Brown, author of a fantastic regular with a group from Sacramento transformed in the space of an off-season. The coach receives his second trophy for best NBA coach, following the one won in 2009 for having signed the best regular in the history of the Cavaliers.

It took several years in Steve Kerr’s shadow for Brown to once once more accept a challenge as head coach. And damn it, what an achievement! Exploitation of the full potential of the doublet De’Aaron Fox, Domantas Sabonis, perfect management of the Malik Monk case as the sixth man… but also good development of Keegan Murray, rookie of the group. All that to finally hit the third place of the West at the end of the regular… synonymous with the title of the Pacific Division, the first for two decades.

A look at the votes? 500. 500 votes for Mike Brown, i.e. all of the voters’ first choices! A unanimous title, like Stephen Curry in 2015-16 with the MVP trophy, and above all the first coach in NBA history to collect all the first choices of voters. What a way to win such a trophy, which denotes just the enormous impact of Mike Brown on the Sacramento team. Hats off sir, deserved reward!
