Sacramento Kings coach chokes up speaking about Maine mass shooting

NBA coach Mike Brown emotionally responded to Wednesday’s mass shooting in Maine after watching his Sacramento Kings team beat the Utah Jazz.

Brown was reluctant to discuss basketball during the postgame press conference, instead urging the United States to “do something” following another mass shooting.

“I don’t know everything that’s going on, I’m not that smart, but I know we as a country got to do something,” he said.

“It’s sad that we sit here and we watch this happen time after time after time after time. And nobody does anything about it.

“It’s a sad day for our country. It’s a sad day in this world. And until we decide to do something about it, the powers that be, this is going to keep happening.”
