NBA World Reacts To Mike Brown New York Knicks News

Many people reacted to the news on social media.

Tommy Beer: "also worth noting that Mike Brown is one of the most gregarious, amiable, media-savvy head coaches in the NBA, which is significant in a massive media market where the GM/President/front office don't speak with the media.

In NY, the head coach is THE voice of the franchise"
