Brooklyn Nets – Kenny Atkinson

General Manager Sean Marks and head coach Kenny Atkinson have given this Brooklyn Nets team a sliver of hope.

If certain players weren’€™t injured during times, there is no doubt Kenny Atkinson would’€™ve brought the Nets higher up in the standings. Players enjoy playing for him and his style.

Everyone in that organization has faith in Kenny Atkinson. His role as head coach is safe. If anything, Atkinson is just getting started and the best is yet to come for he and the Nets.
