When Sean Marks was announced as Brooklyn’s new general manager Thursday morning, the Nets’ coach and players didn’t know a ton about their new boss. But Wikipedia and word of mouth told them enough: He got the stamp of approval from the Spurs, and he’s known for winning as a player, coach and executive.
And they say that kind of pedigree from the NBA’s gold standard bodes well for his future — and theirs.
“I’m familiar with him. I don’t know him personally, but obviously coming from the Spurs organization, he’s seen winning,” interim coach Tony Brown said.
