SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (KRON) — As the 2021 Summer Olympics approach, many would be surprised to find out that the Golden State Warriors have ties to a team halfway around the world.

Associate Head Coach Mike Brown has two decades of NBA experience, but he recently took on a new role as an international head coach.

“I feel fortunate, blessed, lucky however you want to call it to be able to coach some great players from Tim Duncan to David Robinson to Kobe Bryant to Lebron James, Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant,” said Brown.

Just over a year ago Brown was approached about coaching the Nigerian basketball team in the Tokyo Olympics, which were originally scheduled for 2020.
