Guy gets a cramp ? that's no big deal. Is that something that's a day-to-day thing? No. There's one thing you should never question on Shannon Brown and that's his heart. |
He can guard anybody. I'd let him guard a post guy, |
He doesn't get to play the minutes, he doesn't sometimes even play that much in practice, and to stick that out four years in that situation I think speak volumes of the guy. |
He had a big night. We didn't want him to beat us. |
He had someone close to him die over in Iraq. It was something that bothered him. He didn't let us know about it until after the game. I felt for him a lot more Saturday night than I did Saturday afternoon (before knowing). I felt for him that he tried to hold it all in. |
He had someone die over in Iraq that was close to him. I don't want to make a big deal about that. It's just something that bothered him that he didn't let us know about until a day-and-a-half later, which was right after the game. |
He has that ability to raise a crowd off its feet. He's done a good job for them bringing that alone. ... You always have to be a little more concerned about a lob they might throw into the rafters that he can go get. That makes it more difficult. |
He has to be aggressive and be slow, if that makes any sense. He's gotta do that. Because when he does, he sees the court so much better. He has improved his passing so much this year. He's seeing things a little better, instead of it being a blur - because he's so quick that it is a blur sometimes. |
He is a good kid. |
He is a product of staying four years. He is having an incredible senior year. He's under control more. He deserves a ton of credit for changing his game. I hardly see him forcing his shot anymore. I think he's more of a team guy this year. I think that's one of the reasons they're better. |
He kind of thrives on pressure, he kind of thrives on big moments. He took control of the game, under control. And that speaks volumes of a player when he can take control of game and do it under control. I think that means the guy's really growing up and becoming a special player. |
He might be only the second kid (after Jason Richardson) I would advise to do that, just because, that way, there'd be no questions unanswered. |
He never made any excuses, ... He said he thought it would be a four-, five-year building process. He's a big-enough man, probably bigger than me, that he doesn't do his laundry outside of his office, even to his best friend. |
He played like a warrior. ... Making those free throws and all, he played his tail off. And there's just a comfort level with the guys and ... ah, it was big. |
He probably tried to do too much because he was forced into that position. |
