Mike Brown delivers iconic press conference with 'possession' rant
Sacramento Kings head coach Mike Brown delivered an unforgettable postgame press conference after his team’s resounding 141-97 victory over the Utah Jazz. The Kings not only put on an offensive clinic but also snapped out of their early-season struggles in spectacular fashion.
However, the real highlight came after the game when Brown went into a robotic rant about his team’s play. The Kings have been a team searching for consistency this season, with a middling 12-13 record placing them just outside the playoff picture.
After struggling to find an offensive rhythm, their last two games offered a glimmer of hope. In the postgame presser, Mike Brown reflected on his team’s approach, emphasizing discipline and execution, with a simple message – repeated 26 times in 40 seconds.

While Brown made it a point to make sure everyone in the room knew that the Kings needed consistency in every single possession, it pointed towards an important part of his focus – consistency and attention to detail. In a season where Sacramento has shown flashes of brilliance but often faltered, Brown’s mantra serves as more of a reminder of what his team needs to do – possession after possession.
The Kings, one of the league’s weakest 3-point shooting teams this season, broke out in this game, shooting an impressive 50% from deep and 57% from the field. Kevin Huerter led the charge with 26 points, including six 3-pointers. Their newfound efficiency suggests that Brown’s emphasis on staying methodical could be the key to turning their season around in the hope of a WCF run.
Mike Brown’s fiery rant paying dividends
On November 29, following a disheartening 115-106 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers, Mike Brown’s tone was far less humorous. The coach lambasted his team for their lack of mental preparation and unforced turnovers, calling their performance “extremely disappointing.”
Since then, the Kings have shown remarkable improvement, winning three of their last four games and addressing their turnover issues. The team has averaged just 10 turnovers per game during this stretch, a significant improvement from earlier in the season.
Their offensive rating over the last five games stands at a league-best 127.2, reflecting their improvement after Brown’s rant. The Kings’ recent surge places them within one game of the 10th seed in the Western Conference, keeping them in the hunt for a playoff spot.
Their next challenge comes on Thursday against the New Orleans Pelicans, with a chance to prove they can sustain their hot streak. For now, though, fans and players alike are reveling in Mike Brown’s animated reactions on and off the court.
