  • Hilarious Story About Kwame Brown - LOL!



    At a recent press conference at UC Santa Barbara, Kobe Bryant told a bizarre story about Brown's fear of failure.

    "But like, the game before we traded for Pau, we're playing Detroit and I had like 40 points towards the end of the game. This is back when Detroit had Rasheed Wallace, Chauncey Billups and those guys, so we had no business being in the game. So down the stretch of the game, they put in a box and one. So I'm surrounded by these players, Detroit players, and Kwame is under the basket, all by himself. Literally, like all by himself. So I pass him the ball, he bobbled it and it goes out of bounds.

    "So we go back to the timeout and I'm upset, right? He goes, 'I was wide open.' 'Yeah, I know.' This is how I'm talking to him, like, during the game. I said, 'You're going to be open again, Kwame, because Rasheed is just totally ignoring you.' He said, 'Well, if I'm open don't throw it to me.' I was like, 'Huh?' He said, 'Don't throw it to me.' I said, 'Why not?' He said, well, 'I'm nervous. If I catch it and they foul me, I won't make the free throws.' I said, 'Hell no!'

    "I go to Phil Jackson, I say, 'Hey Phil, take him out of the game.' He's like, 'Nah, let him figure it out.' So, we lose the game, I go the locker room, I'm steaming. Steaming. I'm furious. Then, finally I get a call, they said, 'You know what, we got something that's happening with Pau.' I was like, 'Alright. Cool.'…That's what I had to deal with the whole year."

      Ironically Kwame Brown was both Mitch Kupchak's worst ever GM move (since he traded future All Star Caron Butler for him) and his greatest triumph in becoming one of the best GMs in the NBA (because he traded Butterfingers for perennial All Star Pau Gasol = 2 NBA Titles).

        That explains Kwame being a terrible NBA player

                Wow... can't believe a guy who is getting paid millions of dollars would ever have the guts to say "don't throw me the ball". I actually feel bad for the guy.

                      I dont think Kwame ever had a game like that while playing for the Lakers. While watching games back then, if Kwame did not turn over the ball or get hit by it, that would be a victory in itself. LOL!
