You can only imagine my initial shock and the wave of relief that washed over me after learning it was Christian Braun.



OK this was hilarious :)

Why did you have to do that? It’s obviously Charles Barkley.

Seriously. I felt pretty bad for Chris Bosh and was surprised he's back in the NBA.

This appears like a Duncan Robinson on the Heat situation all over again where you overpay a player you developed that wouldn't have killed the team if you let walk for the price you ended up paying in the end. Anyone can honestly look good with Jokic if given 25-30 minutes so I feel the role he plays could have been filled much cheaper long-term.

I think the kid figures it out later in the season once he gets healthier. Denver fans are high on the guy's hustle defense and liked this deal. I hope he proves me wrong. These type of guys are more valuable to teams and are paid better than they were a decade ago so I am probably missing the boat somewhere.

He is the most under the radar player in the league. The Nuggets need more from Murray and they need a 3rd star to emerge.


To me Euro, CB means ''centre-back''. I was wondering who the hell is CB, my head went to Chris Bosh also.

In Lithuanian, and I bet in many languages, ''braun'' would be spelled how English would pronounce word ''brown'', brown to us pronounced completely differently, so to us, Braun is kinda the first time it is spelled the way us would pronounce that name. I get that in English it should make difference sound, but to me, I never was confused by Braun's name cause I am Lithunian I guess, I remember some ref reviewed his play not too long ago and totally mispronounced his name, and the guy was a known player at that point too.

P.S. I am not into that thing, so I had to google to be sure who Chris Brown is, I figured he was a rapper or smth like that, I heard his name, but I am not into these people, I honestly wouldn't recognize any of them apart from Drake.

The title is great. I really needed to know who tweeted it first.

Chauncey Billups has far bigger problems than an ankle injury. Shams knows this. I know this. We all know this. Lazy journalism. Lazy OP title writing.
