Brown, a Basketball Hall of Famer and two-time Coach of the Year, has been around the NBA for nearly seven decades. He is 90 years old now (he will turn 91 in September) but is still calling games for ESPN and remains as sharp as a tack with his analysis and knowledge of the game.

As for Irving, he finished with 22 points and seven assists in Game 3 as the Mavs won 105-101 to take a 2-1 lead in the series. While often criticized for his behavior in other areas, that was definitely a nice gesture from Irving to Brown on Saturday.
