Bruce and uncle Jeff were so good

[@coby1971]

The thing about Bruce is he’s just as an amazing person as he player. Known him since he was 11-12 years old, and even after signing a huge contract…he’s still the same hardworking, do whatever it takes to win, and a family guy!! When ever he’s back in the Bean he goes back to his Middle School checks on his teachers and takes time to take photos with the kids!! Proud of you Bruce.

[@Lob32City]

He was the only guy hooping when they got swept by the Celtics. Idk how Brooklyn let him go

Bruce caught my attention during his time in Detroit! Happy to see how his career is planning out

[@jalenlthomas]

This shows how versatile bro is, going from off ball guard, to pg, to small ball center in the span of a few weeks and being good at each role. Crazy nets just let him walk when he filled so many diff roles but that front office was so bad in hindsight

[@markmittens]

I agree with you my guess is the analytics says he's replaceable so..... here we are.

[@hibida651]

bkn is such a dysfunctional franchise... they formed 2 super teams in 1 decade and both failed miserably cus they dont know how to manage the roster.... bruce should have been number 1 priority not patty mills lmao!!! i was sick to my stomach when i saw they prioritized gettin patty when they already had seth curry and joe harris and needed a defender in bruce

[@BigA678]

Definition of poverty franchise

[@smoothsavage2870]

​@@hibida651Well they actually made a terrible move getting out of prime KG and Paul Pierce and they were fleeced when they made that trade. As for the KD/Harden/Kyrie era, they mishandled that in every possible way. They were letting key players like Bruce and Jeff Green walk, they let Ime Udoka walk instead of promoting him and firing Nash. NY and their COVID mandate was some bs, but Kyrie wasn't really much better. Most of us survived the COVID shot and all Kyrie has to do was take one. He chose himself over the team. Andrew Wiggins was faced with the same choice, got the shot and the Warriors became champs. Then you got to see how terrible Steve Nash was after Ime Udoka and Mike D'Antoni left the coaching staff. Everybody was ecstatic to see the Nets go on that losing streak once KD got injured. But nobody actually paid attention to how bad Steve Nash actually was as a coach during this time. If the Nets weren't gonna keep Udoka, they should've hired Jacque Vaughn in the 2021 offseason instead.

[@maartenvz]

I didn't understand why Detroit let him walk and then paid plumlee and grant. Why not sign brown to an extension?

[@Shortballa11]

This should be the mindset of every hooper. Dont pout just do whatever you have to do to stay on the floor. He deserved every W he ever got.

[@thegoatproduction6054]

Bruce is the ultimate role player. Any team is blessed to have him. Denver has a perfect match

[@user-dc7um4pr3f]

Really cool to see him talking about Brooklyn because he really developed this unique style of play that made him perfect for Denver. So many dribblers so he couldn't play his natural position. He was basically playing the center as a role man and stuff. I've never seen anything like that. The second he went to Denver I knew it was a perfect fit. He had such a bizarre playstyle for a point guard and jokic is a point center. It was a match made in heaven. Really cool that he could have pouted and been made he doesn't have the ball in his hands. Instead he adapts and wins a chip. So awesome.

[@mylezG]
