Cavaliers still send paychecks to Warriors coach Mike Brown

OAKLAND, Calif. -- These are bizarre days for Mike Brown, who finds himself at a crossroads of several unprecedented situations.

First, he’s acting Golden State Warriors head coach for Steve Kerr. Thursday night, he won his first Finals game. It came against the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are still sending him regular paychecks and will be until 2020.

“It feels a little surreal,” Brown said. “Right now, I’m just kind of taking everything in stride.”

Naturally, there has been some interest in just how this all came to be, how it could even be possible?
