As for the players, the coaches also have the right to their monthly price. The NBA has thus decided to reward Mike Brown and Mike Budenholzer in this month of February.
No big surprise compared to the winners of the month among the coaches. 8 wins in 12 games, a fiery attack that bends everything in its path, the exploits of De’Aaron Fox and his friends earned Mike Brown a second career award. Hardly surprising since the Sacramento tactician is in the running for Coach of the Year and his Kings are still as attractive in the West as ever. Already winner of this prize in 2009, when he coached the Cavs of LeBron James, will Brown offer himself a new statuette in June?

No surprise in the East either with a team that rolls on its Conference. We are of course talking about the Bucks and their incredible 16-game winning streak. Impossible not to send a little love to Mike Budenholzer as a result, who offers himself a simply perfect month of February (10-0). This is the seventh career award for the former protege of Gregg Popovich. The icing on the cake for Wisconsin, the good running streak and a few setbacks for Boston offered the first place in the Conference to Milwaukee. The 2021 champion is gaining momentum, the competition just has to watch out.
10-0. Undefeated in February.
