Kenny Atkinson has become one of the NBA's most Bryce Harper Jerseyrespected assistant coaches, helping the Atlanta Hawks to their best season ever.
The Brooklyn Nets think he's ready to run his own team.
The Nets hired Atkinson as their new coach on Sunday, bypassing the type of big names they've targeted for the bench in Brooklyn and turning to someone experienced with developing winning programs gradually.
''Aside from his tremendous skills and experience, he has the mindset we need to build a http://www.officialnationalsshop.com/authentic-47-gio-gonzalez-jersey.htmlwinning team day by day, step by step,'' owner Mikhail Prokhorov said in a statement. ''Together, we can do great things.''

''Kenny's years of NBA coaching experience working under successful head coaches such as Mike Budenholzer and Mike D'Antoni have provided him with the foundation and experience we were looking for in a head coach,'' Marks said.
