|
| Quote: | Along with Brand's offensive dominance, the Clippers held Memphis to just 12 points in the fourth quarter in their 91-87 victory in front of 17,182 at Staples Center.
Brand went 17 of 26 (65 percent) from the field and 10 of 10 from the free-throw line in leading the Clippers to their 10th victory in 12 games. He added nine rebounds as the Clippers recovered from an 11-point deficit in the first half.
"I know that some of my teammates were missing shots from their spots, so I was like, 'OK, I got to do this,' " he said.
A writer then asked if he did his best Kobe Bryant impersonation.
"I didn't get up that many shots, did I?" asked Brand. |

hey - i was there and it wasn't like that - it wasn't a hateful comment at all. Fact is Kobe shoots a ton - and Elton has just goofin - answering a question asked.

When you have no 2nd option what is Kobe suppose to do?
Elton should know better he's being cocky. |

with friends like that, who needs enemies..
Chucky says "He is the GM" and Kobe and him are still the best of friends..
Kobe's friends sure don't mind putting comments like that out there no matter whether they are being sarcastic or not. |

| I look at it as all it does is give the haters more ammo. Brand is classy though and just a plain out sick player. Looking more and more like the MVP. |

Dumb comments but no reason to make a huge deal out of it.

| Brand needs to shut the hell up until he gets 3 rings. Yeah, Brand, great job this year. Amazing. But at the end of the day, you're still a clipper and that's nothing to be proud of. |
