CLEVELAND — We’ve all been fired, or maybe just felt slighted in a major way, and dreamed of Mike Brown’s type of revenge.
Twice Brown was canned by Cavs owner Dan Gilbert — both times unfairly, it could certainly be argued — and the Knicks coach left Cleveland on Memorial Day with a 130-93 victory and utterly dominant sweep of the Eastern Conference finals.
It was validation that, yes, Brown’s still a damn good coach who not only outclassed Cleveland’s Kenny Atkinson in the conference finals but also raised the bar higher than Tom Thibodeau.
Take that, former boss.
