Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick believes Mike Brown is an 'excellent' coach, despite the Sacramento Kings' decision to fire the former Coach of the Year just 31 games into the season

The Kings’ dream season ended with a Game 7 loss to Stephen Curry and the Warriors, who outscored Sacramento 64-42 in the second half while Curry finished with 50 points, a short-lived record for most points ever in a Game 7 (Boston’s Jason Tatum broke the record two weeks later with 51 against the Philadelphia 76ers).

It came as a shock to most when the Sacramento Kings fired head coach Mike Brown in the midst of a disappointing season after a few years of productive basketball. As Kings fans have been divided if the firing was a good decision or not, some are pondering why it was made in the first place.
