6:55.. Browns media could take some notes on how to get more fan engagement during "pressers" by actually hearing the questions and seeing who they're coming from☝️🤔

[@josephfusko1864]

Exactly I was thinking the same thing

[@whattheysayk9558]

I find it funny how Golden State took our coach and now we take their backup it’s like Ohio vs Michigan with the warriors nowadays

[@Rigbone708]

That is so true

[@lebron23cavs]

It's because of mutual respect for each other, our teams ran the NBA for almost a decade.

[@exceptionallife4768]

No such thing as a backup coach

[@JimVarneyHaHa]

He really reminds me of a doctor

[@akilahbee]

Hope he has a PhD in a winning culture

[@josephfusko1864]

Mr Rogers 😂

[@BandoEbk-d2d]

Thank you for fixing it

[@Rigbone708]

We need a new GM please give Donovan and mobley their extensions we only have one more season and we need that to happen before the season starts

[@duanelumpkin4400]

I would really like to hear about Atkinson’s assistant coaches prospects. I’m wondering if he’s going to keep some of the last staff and if not who is he planning to surround the team with. And can the Cavs please invest in a weight/strength coach to help build their players up physically, as well as a ball handling coach.

[@gamelord6781]

No bikerstaff benching players bull***

[@CAV2]

Welcome KA! And it's time to fire Koby Altman and Mike Gansey who are destroying this offseason without any contract. SPIDA and Mobley extension should have been made before July 1!

[@loganerb3952]

lol you mean the contracts that can’t be offered or come official until July 6th 😂
I swear people freak out for no reason. Why should Altman leave he’s built a really good team 😂
People just like to be mad for not reason

[@rjt201]

Cannot wait for this season. K seems great and stoked to work with the guys, this should be fun to watch

[@butchtommasino]

Darius only played one game against Kenny's Brooklyn team, in his rookie season 11/25/2019, and had a pretty bad game (11pts 5tov 1ast in 22 mins). Kenny said he destroyed them but maybe was thinking about Donovan Mitchell instead which led to him needing a second to regain composure around 7:58 when he realized it lol. Donovan averaged 25+ and went 5-1 vs Kenny's Brooklyn teams in the 3 years they met in the reg. season which I would call destroying them so checks out.

35:30 MCNUGGETS SIGHTING

[@tellywhite2389]

I want him to develope Amani Bates ASAP!!! He is a hidden gem that needs to see the court!

[@deesleezy5313]

[@tsaint8302]

[@exceptionallife4768]

Npc

[@hunterepsi]

let out a massive sigh right when I saw Chris fedor

[@prayingtakestime5458]

We need someone not to make us better but win a championship

[@AnthonyPeoples09]

We don't trust you Koby

[@gamelord6781]

Welcome ken 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@ehendo23]

This coach mindset seem like he trying to get the guys better really not as much about championships. Few years away boys still and maybe another coach away just look at Boston that’s the motto they think they’re copying.

[@avonbarksdale91]

You win championships by continuing to get better.

[@kaleb324]

HE GONE
