I remember when Mike Brown was appointed head coach of Nigeria’s men’s national team ahead of the Tokyo Olympics.
He led the team through Olympic preparation and the Famous exhibition win over Team USA before Tokyo 2020
After the Olympics, Brown publicly said he wanted to continue with the program and help build Nigerian basketball long term.
But in 2022, Nigerian basketball was disrupted by governance disputes inside the Nigeria Basketball Federation and the Nigerian government temporarily withdrew national teams from international competition. That created uncertainty around the program and disrupted continuity.
Today, he is a NBA champion as the coach of the New York knicks
Congrats to Coach Mike Brown and the
@nyknicks on winning an NBA Title!
