The Oklahoma City Thunder are the up and coming team of the NBA. Stocked with young talent, the Thunder have a very bright future.
They have a perennial MVP candidate in Kevin Durant, and a franchise point guard in Russell Westbrook.
But the key to the Thunder’s success is head coach Scott Brooks.
Brooks played on the 1994 NBA champion Houston Rockets. He knows what it takes to win in the post season.
His NBA playing experience and his passion for the game are helping him get the most out of his players.
Kevin Durant will garner many MVP votes and will surely win the Most Improved Player award.
Brooks has the respect of his players, which is the best thing a coach can have. With a roster not too different from last year, the Thunder have won almost 50 games.
The coach of the year should be Scott Brooks in 2010, but it surely will not be the last time he wins the award in Oklahoma City.
