Former UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev was on hand when the New York Knicks hosted the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday night at Madison Square Garden, and the home team honored the Dagestani fighter by giving him an honorary Knicks jersey with the number 322, representing the event he will headline this weekend at the same venue.

Brown’s communication style traces back to his years under Gregg Popovich and Steve Kerr — two of the best to ever do it. He served on Popovich’s staff in San Antonio from 2000 to 2003, helping the Spurs capture the 2003 NBA title, then won three more rings alongside Kerr in Golden State from 2016 to 2022.
