Mike Brown - an unexpected call Chris Grant, Dan Gilbert's excellent work, expectations of fans of "Cleveland" and the new-old team.
Even if someone doubts the talents of Mike Brown , he does so with caution. Not least because it is unlikely to be able to remember offhand who apart from his coaches in the NBA newcomers managed in each of his first six seasons to get to at least the second round of the playoffs, twice to play in the finals, to get the title of best coach of the year and lead the team for the match stars.
And even taking into account the fact that these achievements have a large share of the merits of the existing icons league - LeBron James and Kobe Bryant . In the same units, who still believes his bloated figure, a 43-year-old native of Columbus in the near future will try again to prove their worth. Three years later, he returned to "Cleveland" - team which reached its most significant successes, it is full of hope and looking ahead with optimism. - Mike, you're back to basics, experience in this regard, something special? - Yes, of course. While the family took some time understanding what happened. You could even say anything at first came to light shock. But it did not last long. The impression that we did not leave the house forever, but just got back from vacation. - Good Holiday came out ... - Do not tell me ( laughs ). - For what is happening in the "Lakers" after his dismissal followed? - Almost there. It was important not to give in to emotions, because I lost the opportunity to work with guys like Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol. I went to play one of the children's schools and enjoyed the way the guys are busy with the ball. Thanks to the family and Bass Mitch Kapchaku for the opportunity to be part of the history of this renowned group, but once I was retired, has devoted himself to the family. - And for that, will continue his career where your former pupil Dwight Howard? - No. I'm headed, "Cavaliers" and had more to do business team. Especially in our list of free agents his candidacy did not appear. - Who called you first and offered to return to the team? - General Manager Chris Grant. Honestly, it took me by surprise, because it was only business conversation without sentimentality. - You took a lot of time to "digest" this call? - No. It was only the first step. We've known each other for a long time, love what we do, so I'm almost certain that we will find common ground quickly enough. At the same time, understand, take time to harmonize all sorts of details and nuances. My youngest son wanted to graduate from high school with former buddies in Cleveland. A senior had just entered the University of Butler, which is 4.5 hours away - in Indianapolis, so get my agreement with such input data, it was easy enough. Could there be anything better than when your kids are happy? - You felt that, despite the dismissal in 2010, between you and the "Cavs" kept good relationship - I will never forget how Bernie Bickerstaff, with whom we worked together in the "Lakers" and whom I invited to help me again, once said: "Man,

Mike BrownMike Brownremember one simple truth: do not spoil the relationship once and do not burn bridges, even if you feel disgusting, neither in our business or in life. "I was pleased to hear that, because I live on the same principle. always thanking people for provided opportunity and tried to make them all up to me. those five years we spent together were fantastic, I enjoyed them. - Your current team by name looks very attractive. What about its prospects? - see ( smiles ) . First would like to say that the "Cavaliers" if not the best structure in the league, one of the best, absolutely sure. largely an accomplishment owner who built the correct vertical. Correct, of course, in my opinion. All moves are directed by Dan Gilbert the fact that the team closer to the coveted title. And you can see for yourself just how cool the job he has done for a couple with Chris Grant in the past two years. As the NBA Draft, and on the free-agent market. now have at every position has two equal player, and mind you, many of them have not yet opened. I feel that with these guys, we can go far, and not just be a competitive team, and wipe the title. By the way, the title - is a goal that I set myself to the beginning of each season. - feel the difference in the behavior of fans, three years after the infamous James Solutions? - Support for local fans has always been terrific, as LeBron before leaving and after it. When I have some free time after retirement in 2010, I a lot of walking around the city and wherever they met - in the city or on the outskirts, felt that they were loyal to the team. Incidentally, the passion is not limited to the "Cavaliers", but also for football "Browns" and baseball "Indians." So I can not say that their behavior and emotional background of the city has changed. - Feel that your return and an excellent selection again instilled in them the hope for a miracle? - Absolutely. And I hope that we will live up to their expectations. Indeed, our youth there is room to grow and what to add, and players with a name, something to prove. And this is encouraging.
