On Friday, the Sacramento Kings fired Mike Brown amid a tough start to the 2024-25 season, with the team in 12th place in the Western Conference. The move has generated considerable criticism given that Brown had won the 2022-23 Coach of the Year award.
On the heels of Denver Nuggets coach Michael Malone ripping the franchise for firing Brown via phone call, former Sacramento announcer Grant Napear has weighed in. In a clip he posted on X, he aimed at Kings owner Vivek Ranadive.
In the video he dubbed as "Grant's Rant," Napear called out Ranadive for making the franchise the laughing stock of the NBA, pointing out that Brown was just given an extension less than a year ago.
