"Kwame Brown joins the Pacers!"

On the first day of December 2007, while the regular season was still in full swing, a piece of news about Kwame Brown blew everyone's eyeballs.

As Michael Jordan's hand-picked champion, Kwame Brown's career trajectory is completely sorry for Jordan's trust, just when the rookies of the same class Paul Gasol, Eddie Curry, Jason Richardson, Joe Johnson and others have already played their worth, or are selected as All-Stars, Kwame Brown was crowned as a "parallel champion", and the management of the Wizards and Jordan were also buttoned up for this.

Because the quality of that draft was not inferior to any draft, the players who were selected as All-Stars alone included Pau Gasol, Jason Richardson, Joe Johnson, Richard Jefferson, Tony Parker, Gilbert Arenas, in addition to Tyson Chandler, Troy Murphy, Zach Randolph, Jamal Tinsley, Gerard Wallace and a large number of powerful players, but the Wizards selected Kwame Brown with the top pick, and there are still media jokes, Jordan just closed his eyes and chose any one at that time, and he might have a better future than Kwame Brown.

Even the unconvinced Lakers, because they coveted Kwame Brown's talent, offered him a high-salary contract later, and were ready to focus on developing him, but Kwame Brown still didn't play, and even became a typical example of high salary and low ability.

And then, the Lakers used the "parallel champion" Kwame Brown, plus a few rookies to exchange for All-Star power forward Pau Gasol's robbery trade from the Grizzlies, which has also become a deal that the Lakers have been praised for in the past two seasons, the Lakers not only took the opportunity to get rid of Kwame Brown's garbage contract, but also got Paul Gasol, an All-Star in his prime, and the Lakers who got Paul Gasol reached the Western Conference Finals in their first season, as for the Grizzlies who shouted that they would not suffer, But while sending away the star of the house, he also ate Kwame Brown's garbage contract, so Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace has been the object of ridicule from the entire league management since then.

But now, no one is laughing at Chris Wallace, because Chris Wallace successfully dumped Kwame Brown's garbage contract to the Pacers, and also got a second-round pick and a $3 million trade exception from the Pacers.

。。。。。。

On December 2, 2007, when the outside world was mocking, Kwame Brown came to Indianapolis, as long as today's physical examination is completed, the transaction between the Pacers and the Grizzlies will be a certainty, and Kwame Brown's body data did surprise the entire Pacers management, no wonder Michael Jordan has so much infamy, and he has to use the top pick to choose Kwame Brown, and the Lakers also named Kwame Brown when they traded O'Neal with the Heat, After the transaction was completed, he gave Kwame Brown, who averaged only 7 points and 5 rebounds per game at the time, a big contract of 3 years and 24 million US dollars.

2.08 meters of naked height, 2.23 meters of reach, standing touch height of 2.75 meters, maximum touch height of 3.71 meters, three-quarter sprint run of 3.6 seconds, four-sided switchback run of the penalty area for 13.4 seconds, bench press 430 pounds 20 times, of course, Kwame Brown also has a very obvious shortcoming, that is, the palm is a little small.

After seeing Kwame Brown's body profile, Larry Bird also had to sigh, this is full of talent!

"Hey, I'm here to introduce you to a new person." After the medical and flank was over, Rick Carlisle took Kwame Brown to the training ground, while Larry Bird went to complete the follow-up of the trade, and after taking Kwame Brown into the training ground, Rick Carlisle stopped the ongoing training and brought everyone together to introduce them to Kwame Brown.

"Hello everyone, I'm Kwame Brown, I'm very happy to be here in Indianapolis, I hope you will take care of me in the future." Before Rick Carlisle introduced him, Kwame Brown took the initiative to introduce himself to everyone on the scene, but from the tone of Kwame Brown's speech and the dodge in his eyes, it can be seen that Kwame Brown is obviously a little worried and confused about joining the Pacers.

"Alright, alright, it's all gone, let's go to training, there's a game tonight." After Kwame Brown finished introducing herself, there was a burst of laughter at the scene, and Meng Xu also laughed a few times, then dispersed the crowd and walked to Kwame Brown's side alone: "Come, Kwame, come here, let's talk here." ”

"Okay, okay." Hearing Meng Xu say that he wanted to talk to himself, Kwame Brown was obviously a little hesitant, without him, in the past few years between the Wizards and the Lakers, as long as I heard those two people say, Kwame, come here, I have something to say to you, Kwame Brown will feel numb, but after hearing Meng Xu call himself, Kwame Brown has no way to refuse, because this is his team, this is his territory, so Kwame Brown can only follow Meng Xu to the sideline with anxiety.

"Don't be nervous, I don't mean anything else, I just want to talk to you, we have a rule here, that is, all the new players, I will have a good talk with him, nothing else, just talk about your future plans, and your position in this team." Kwame Brown's matter, Meng Xu is also very clear, as an arrogant champion, the dog who is scolded by Jordan every day is bloody, no one can stand it, and finally got rid of Jordan's tiger's mouth, and entered Kobe's wolf den, with Kobe's paranoid mentality, I am afraid that he will be scolded more ruthlessly than Jordan, when Meng Xu and Kobe Bryant chatted, Kobe Bryant complained to Meng Xu more than once, Kwame Brown is so talented, how can he play so well, and even joked with Meng Xu that if he had such a good physical talent, There is also a player like Kobe Bryant as a teammate, and he has long beaten some bullshit Vic Forest Twin Bears into Vic Forest Twin Bears.

Jordan and Kobe Bryant scolded Kwame Brown angrily, in fact, they didn't have any personal opinions about Kwame Brown, they just hated iron and steel, but for Kwame Brown, he didn't think so, so after entering the league, Kwame Brown always felt that his life was very depressing, and even on the court, he became less and less confident. was sent to the Pacers by the Grizzlies, and after being notified by the Grizzlies management that he would join the Pacers, Kwame Brown wanted to die, because in Kwame Brown's view, Meng Xu and Jordan and Kobe are undoubtedly the same kind of players.

"Kwame, I've seen the news of your interview in the newspaper before." Meng Xu's opening remarks are still old-fashioned, talking about ideals, talking about life, pouring chicken soup, although it is very old-fashioned and nonsense, but the effect is very obvious, this is how Darko Milicic was "saved" by Meng Xu, so Meng Xu used the same move on Kwame Brown: "You said at the time that you were grateful for basketball, because if it weren't for this wonderful sport, you might have mixed up with hooligans, followed a group of gangsters to ransack the slums, your arms were full of pinholes, and you ate doughnuts at the door of the police station every morning to celebrate your release on bail." ”

"You say that your daily training is to find fault with yourself and temper it until it is perfect. In addition to all the offensive skills of a center, you also practice your jumper because you're not just going to play inside, you're also prepared to try your hand at small forward when the opportunity is right. Speaking of this, Meng Xu smiled, to be honest, when Meng Xu saw this interview at the time, he was very shocked, a talented, hard-working, and confident player, his future is extremely bright, but from the time he entered to the present, Kwame Brown has been wasting his talent and has never met the requirements of the outside world.

"On the last page of that report, what you said to Michael at the time, do you remember what you said to Michael at the time?" While Meng Xu was speaking, he was always observing the changes in Kwame Brown's face, and it was obvious that what Meng Xu said had touched Kwame Brown's heart.

"Remember, remember, I remember." Listening to Meng Xu help him reminisce about the past, all kinds of past events also surfaced in Kwame Brown's mind one by one, and when Meng Xu finally asked what he said to Jordan at that time, Kwame Brown's voice became a little choked, and even in the corners of his eyes, tears had already slipped down.

"Kwamei, I don't have any requirements for you, I just want you to remember why you played basketball, why you became a professional player, and why you entered this league, for your ideals, for those who care about you all the time, I hope you don't give up on your efforts, let alone give up on yourself, tonight's game, I would suggest Rick let you start, for yourself and for all those who care about you."

"Meng, thank you, thank you." After Meng Xu said these words, Kwame Brown couldn't control his feelings anymore, and cried out with a wow. To be honest, since Kwame Brown entered the league, no one has ever said so much to himself, and most of them say the same thing, you're the top pick, you're going to play well, you're going to take the responsibility on your shoulders. So when Meng Xu and Kwame Brown talked about ideals and life, the door in Kwame Brown's heart was directly like Meng Xu open.

"Good, good, good." Meng Xu, like an elder, directly hugged Kwame Brown, who was still crying, and Kwame-Brown cried even more after being held in Meng Xu's arms, perhaps in Kwame Brown's consciousness, he is still a child who has not grown up, and Kwame Brown's wanton crying also caused the Pacers players on the training ground to look at each other, don't you talk about your heart, why is this big man still crying.
