Man I love this kid,
On top of the intense play he brings everytime his name was called upon,
I occasionally look at LA.'s bench after certain plays and he's always clapping/urging our players on.

I hope he gets more PT next season, expecting big things from S.B.

The Birdman dunk was so sick. I remember when it happened, ESPN went off like we just won the title. Great kid with a lot of love and passion for the game. He will be with us for a long time and I can see him taking over the P.G position as a starter real soon.

OH DID I MENTION HE"S GOT MAD HOPPS

SB will be a force in the year to come. People will be saying how did they steal him.

I was at Game 5 when he dunked on Birdman. The crowd was relatively quiet until then, and Staples just errupted right after. I really like SB and I won't be surprised if he outshines and surpasses Farmar next season.

I cannot wait till the new season starts. Shannon Brown is going to be like an Ariza to us. All the hustle and energy Shannon brings will make it fun to watch him. My guess is Shannon has been working on his jumper. We already saw that he can shoot the 3 pretty well. Since Derek FIsher could be leaving the Lakers pretty soon, Shannon Brown might be the answer to replacing D Fish.

I remember that. After that moment all the energy and momentum shifted towards the Lakers and they took control of that game, game 6, and the Finals. I remember listening to the post game show after game 6 when the series finally ended and people said that Shannon Brown dunk pretty much gave life to the Lakers.

The crowd did not quiet down after that play. Shannon came in and played an amazing stretch and it woke the rest of the Lakers up.

Shannon brown is awesome. A PG player that can block shots??? ridicously! awesome!. He reminds me of ariza when he was dunking on guys. I hope SB continues to posterize people like that. Welcome back SB... let the Lake Show continue!

Do we have a nickname for him?

I love everything he brings to the table... If he gets better handles and more familiar with our system, he could have a "big" impact... D Fish will groom him... PJ favors him... He was a solid pick and will be with us for a long time... Solid...

My buddy calls him "Shanny" I like that one myself.

I really think he's gonna have an Ariza-like season next year: all the hard work in the summer time will pay off and he'll become a major contributor for us, especially since PG is probably our weakest spot. Kid has tremendous energy and passion, freakish athleticism, a solid J and most importantly, he plays D.
I remember when I first heard about the Vlad trade, I was so juiced that Shannon was a "throw-in". Hopefully he stays in P&G for a long time.

Love this guy's potential and what he already gives us. Can't wait to see how he does with a training camp under his belt and that half year of triangle experience. I wish we could've locked him up for much longer at this price. He has the tools to be a great defender at 3 positions and he's not scared on offense.

I like this mix of him too

I heard he doesn't workout much... He's solid for a guy that doesn't.
But to be with the best he better during this summer. Can't wait for more posterizing

Yeah, I definitely see Shannon filling that energy role that Ariza played for us... But I also see him taking over for DFish when the time comes. He is FANTASTIC!!!
