Sacramento Kings head coach Mike Brown made all sorts of headlines for his actions during Sunday’s hotly-contested matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. Brown wasn’t actually able to finish the game — he missed seeing Damian Lillard’s epic game-winner in person — after the coach was ejected in the fourth quarter.
To add insult to injury, Brown was slapped by the NBA with a hefty $50,000 fine for charging at the official on the court and subsequently criticizing them publicly in his post-game presser.
Mike Brown Goes Bananas Vs. Milwaukee Bucks
You can’t really say that the fine was a huge shocker. After all, Brown pretty much went bananas on the court after seeing what he believed was a missed foul call by the game official. He actually had to be held back by his own players before heading to the locker room with more than nine minutes remaining in the game.
Mike Brown was NOT happy. 😳

Brown took it to another level by bringing out a laptop in his post-game interview as he identified the specific plays that he believes the refs missed out on throughout the game:
“Let me show you guys why I got kicked out.”

Steve Kerr Trolls Former Assistant
Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr caught wind of the stunning turn of events in Milwaukee and the four-time NBA champion shot-caller could not help but take a dig at his former assistant:
"Raymond, would you bring the computer up here, please?" 😂

That’s savage.
Kerr and Brown go way back, though, with the latter serving as an assistant coach in Golden State between 2016 and 2022. Nevertheless, this fact does not make the $50,000 fine sting any less for the Kings coach.
