I hope he stays out of trouble! Buddy has the potential to be a Jayson Tatum
i wish he just go study someone like Kobes tenacity. I hate watching these guys stand around the 3 line. He couldve easily got 3-4 rebounds being active and not hanging around the perimeter the whole time praying for open shot. Guys who havent shot simple baseline jumpers get in the game and take these weak 3s. I seen a guy have perfect open mid range shot, he catches the ball dribbles and the hacks up a 3. Like the league has so much more talent but the best NBA peak was the 90s. The grit in the sport is starting to go missing. You can tell whos doing 5ams and whos not. These guys so rich it makes them no whether they lose or not. Brandon is falling for typical Charlotte culture.. and thats being ok with Losing. This was a easy game for him to shine and say I shouldve been #1 but instead since he used to losing and seeing others around him lose no big deal this is just becoming causal experience. Imagine Kobe or Jordan rookie year all star game. And then think about what we consider to be a All Star in todays game. Its shameful and becoming cookie cutterish. The testosterone levels in Men all over clearly not the same.
Sorry reporters, this is a man that is showing growth and expressing himself in a mature fashion, he's not falling for your sneaky questions, so HAVE A NICE DAY
