New York Knicks set to hold talks with Mike Brown, Taylor Jenkins for their head coach job: Report

Hindustan Times14 hours ago

The New York Knicks are in search of a new head coach and according to a report in ESPN, the team and the higher management are planning to hold talks with former Sacramento Kings coach Mike Brown and former Memphis Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins for their head coaching job. The same report states that the meeting is expected to be held next week.
If the meetings go through next week, this will mark the first stage of formal interviews for the New York Knicks head coach post. It must be mentioned that this is not the first time that Brown has thrown his hat into the ring; he previously interviewed for the post in 2020.
He also made a strong impression, but the New York Knicks eventually hired Tom Thibodeau. The Knicks' hunt for a new coach has not been going according to plan, as several other teams have already rebuffed them in their search.
According to ESPN, the Dalles Mavericks rejected the Knicks' request to speak with their head coach, Jason Kidd, earlier this week.
The team also asked to speak with Atlanta Hawks head coach Quin Snyder, but they were denied. It must be mentioned that the Knicks began the hunt for a new coach after firing Tom Thibodeau last week.
This move surprised several fans after he had led the team to the Eastern Conference finals for the first time in 25 years.
Both Mike Brown and Taylor Jenkins have solid resumes, so it's no surprise that the New York Knicks are interested in using their services.
Brown was named the NBA Coach of the Year in his first season with the Sacramento Kings in 2022-23 after he helped the team end their longest playoff drought in NBA history at 16 seasons.
He had a 107-88 record in his two-plus seasons with the team. However, he was fired midway through his third season. Brown had previously coached Cleveland and the Lakers. Overall, he has a 455-304 career record, making the playoffs in seven of his nine full seasons.
Speaking of Jenkins, who was fired in March, had previously served as Grizzlies coach since 2019-20. The team made three postseason appearances with Jenkins, with one playoff series win.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson given one reason why he needs to win a Super Bowl title: ‘The next step'

NFL legend Ryan Clark has pointed out the one reason why the Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson needs to absolutely win a Super Bowl. Speaking on ESPN's 'First Take' along with Cam Newton, Clark charted the evolution of the 'black quarterback' in the NFL. 'I wanna say it to you and I want to say it to Randall Cunningham and I want to say it to Russell Wilson and I want to say it to Michael Vick. This is the evolution of the position. Without Randall Cunningham having to try to conform and be a pocket passer and also show his athleticism, we don't get to Michael Vick. And without Michael Vick accepting that and working to become a better passer and better leader, we don't get a Cam Newton. If Cam Newton doesn't bring the style of play that he had the opportunity to bring from Auburn to the NFL and win an MVP doing it, we don't have a Lamar Jackson,' Clark said on the show. Ryan Clark said that each of the quarterbacks named has been needed to get to this point due to the negativity surrounding African-Americans playing at that position. 'And that's why we need Lamar Jackson to take that next step and hold that Lombardi trophy the same way we all cried when Doug Williams did it in the 80s,' the former safety added. Lamar Jackson has won the NFL MVP award twice so far, in the 2019 and 2023 seasons. But he has yet to win a Super Bowl title, and he came so close to it the last time he won the MVP. The Baltimore Ravens lost to the eventual winners, the Kansas City Chiefs, in the AFC championship game in the 2023 season. Many have been critical of Jackson and his quarterback style, which involves using his legs as much as his arms. Winning a Super Bowl title would cement his already impressive legacy in the league, and that would surely silence his critics.

Not only the NBA legends and critics, but also the innocent kids are included in his fan base. Magic Johnson shared his dream team roster with big names NBA legend Magic Johnson poured his heart out while talking about Stephen Curry's growing legacy on the Get Up show at ESPN. He had very kind words for Stephen Curry. While elaborating on the achievements made by Curry, he also hinted at his dream team composition and shared his idols fit for that roster. He said, praising Curry: 'He's an icon, and it's only a few icons. He's beloved. There's only a few athletes that's ever been beloved... He's definitely on my dream team as the greatest that's ever played this game. Him and LeBron's legacy will live on forever." Johnson praised Stephen Curry, making a bold claim about him and said: 'He's one of the greatest of all time. Then, he changed the game forever... Nobody we've seen ever with the ability of Steph Curry to shoot that basketball. The greatest shooter we've ever seen in history... He also brought in fans that we didn't have in the NBA before. He brought in kids."

Magic Johnson had earlier snubbed Stephen Curry while naming All-time NBA superstars The recent proclamation about Stephen Curry coming from Magic Johnson is indeed a surprise. He picked his 5 superstars, when Stephen A. Smith outlined the definition of a superstar for him. His list didn't have LeBron James or Stephen Curry. Smith said, 'A person who can go on a road and sell the building. Simple. I'm going to see that person.' The changed stance seemed to be his attempt to cover up the previous snub. Earlier, in 2023, while speaking on The Dan Patrick Show, Johnson had said: 'We've got to celebrate both guys. Michael is the best, and we should celebrate him and celebrate LeBron. The guy [Jordan] is just unbelievable. LeBron is special too in his own right, and people shouldn't forget that either. But when it's all said and done, if you come at me and ask me, that's who I am going to with, and it's MJ.'
