Cavaliers coach Mike Brown saluted Chuck Daly, who passed away on Saturday morning, as an icon in the coaching profession.

"He is our Oscar Robertson. He is our Wilt Chamberlain, our Magic Johnson, our Michael Jordan," Brown said. "With what he's done for the game of basketball, at this level — it's allowed us to live the lifestyles that we're living now. Which is exciting, which is fun, which, in my opinion, is one of the best in the world."

Brown said that he admired the fact that Daly didn't hear everything, meaning he knew what to tune out and what to listen to.
