Mike Brown reveals that he leaned on former Thunder Dillon Jones for advice during the Knicksโ championship run ๐
โDillon was fabulous. I spoke to Dillon often during this playoff run because he had just gone through it with Oklahoma City, and so I said, โHey, when you guys were in this position, what was Mark saying? What was Sam Presti saying? What were you guys saying to each other? What do you think here?โ You remember the video that we showed of you guys when you lost in the Eastern Conference Finals to the Pacers? That was his idea. He wanted to show still shots because they [OKC] did something similar to that because they lost from the year before.โ
