Mike Brown has been to seven NBA Finals with four different organizations.
He’s coached LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Steph Curry, Tim Duncan, Kevin Durant, and Jalen Brunson.
When asked what all championship teams have in common, his answer had nothing to do with those nuclear talents.
“The commonality they all had is they all sacrificed for one another.
They were all connected.
They all had a competitive spirit.
And there was a high level of belief... Not just in the process, but in each other.”
He was able to boil down years of success in different places to 4 common traits:
🩸 Sacrifice
🎮 Connectivity
⚠️ Ownership
✝️ Belief
Championship teams don't win solely because they have the best player.
They create a championship environment from ownership starting with the best player all the way to the last player on the bench.
The entire organization is willing to surrender something for something bigger than themselves.
You need good players, yes...
But talent only determines your ceiling.
Sacrifice determines your capacity to reach it.
So many of our @MPJelite guys had huge years in '25-'26 looking forward to the upcoming spring and summer sessions and seeing guys develop

Want to know where Missouri's best play?
We're proud to have 5 players named to the All-State team in the largest classification. The only program in Missouri to do so: Brandon Rooks, Reese Kimrey, Tre Paulding, Brody Owen & Nolan Struckmann.
We value Missouri.

Tevin was signed to Rockhurst but his recruitment is back open due to a coaching change. One of the most skilled 6’7 forwards in the region. No brainer!
Recruitment is open !! @tonysroe @HoopsRam @DubSeniorBball @PrepHoopsIA @Bound_IA @PRO16League @MPJelite

Phil Jones is back leading the way. He's a point guard with state championship pedigree. Creating offense off the bounce and making the game easy for others is his specialty. Real floor general that packs the box score! #MPJelite

A familiar face is back. Nolan Struckmann proved to be one of the best juniors in Missouri this season. The stats don't lie. He led a 24-5 team in points, rebounds, steals, and blocks. We know passing vision is what makes him special. He's going to have a huge summer! #MPJelite
