Cavaliers General Manager Danny Ferry recently fired Coach Mike Brown. A coach getting fired at the end of a season that didn't result in a Championship, and that did hold some in-season drama is nothing new. But what I've found a bit odd about it all is that Coach Mike Brown currently highest the highest winning percentage (.663) of any Cavaliers coach.
The conclusion that is made about this decision is that with Lebron James, Mike Brown should have been able to win an NBA Title. Lebron James is undoubtably a great player and one of the most athletic players the NBA has ever seen. Most media hypes Lebron James as the heir to Michael Jordan's throne; James was born the same year Jordan was a rookie (1984).
One way to view this is that Coach Mike Brown's firing put the team at risk because the lottery to find another coach may not result well. He has the highest winning % afterall.
A second way to look at this is that Lebron James' role to the Cleveland Cavaliers is so important that it is necessary to eliminate any staff or players that might stand in his way to becoming an NBA Champion. It took Michael Jordan 7 years to win his first NBA title; James' was drafted in 2003.
A final way to look at this is that King James is overhyped. There can be no heir to the Jordan throne. That James may be a damn good player, but it takes much more than athleticism to win an NBA Title.
What say you..
