Mike Brown, American basketball player and coach
Michael Burton Brown (born March 5, 1970) is an American basketball coach who is the associate head coach for the Golden State Warriors of the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the head coach of the Nigerian National Basketball Team. He is the former head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Los Angeles Lakers.

Brown began coaching the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2005. The team reached the 2007 NBA Finals, where they were swept by the San Antonio Spurs. Brown was honored as NBA Coach of the Year for leading the Cavaliers to a team-record and league-best 66 wins in 2009. The Cavaliers won 61 games, again a league best, in 2010. However, after the Cavaliers lost to the Boston Celtics in the 2010 Eastern Conference Semifinals, Brown was fired.

Brown succeeded Phil Jackson as the head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers in 2011 before being fired after the start of the 2012–2013 season. He returned to the Cavaliers in 2013, but was fired after the 2013–2014 season. Brown then joined the Golden State Warriors as associate head coach in 2016; the team went on to defeat the Cavaliers in the 2017 and 2018 NBA Finals.
