[@needled87]

Such a cool and normal guy. Greetings from Serbia

[@oldmansportsog2514]

I wanted him all last year while he was at Kansas, knew he would fit like a glove to Nuggets Culture and Jokic and most nuggets fans wanted Marjon Beauchamp and just Glad Booth listened to me.jk

[@robshelden4670]

Straight Gym Rat! Love it! Didn’t think he could impress me anymore than he already has, but he is! This young man has a great future!

[@effingtheineffable6827]

Thanks for doing this, Ryan. You knew how badly we fans wanted this and got it done!

[@joezim4254]

Fingers crossed that CB gets his dream and he plays his entire career in Denver. Dude’s made of the right stuff.

[@lovebertierose]

Loved CB being himself during your interview. Learned more about him and think he is exceptional. It is a breath of fresh air to see a wholesome rookie who appreciates and loves this game and loves the Nuggets. I was so excited when I went to the game and had a great seat and out came Christian. I was so impressed with him. I hope he does stay here because he brings so much energy. Great things will come for Christian and I hope I get to see it all.

[@oldmansportsog2514]

As much as he loved here and deservingly so Collin Gillespie is going to be a fan and Malone favorite like Braun

[@pooter3034]

I grew up in Kansas. And this kid is a perfect example of the people there. Generally humble, hardworking and hold themselves accountable. (Obviously not a blanket statement, people can suck there too). But this kid is it. Hope he stays in Denver, love this dude.

[@oldmansportsog2514]

That's a Midwestern value

[@richardbell8292]

When CB was talking about not being a victim, you should have said “ speaking of Bones “

[@oldmansportsog2514]

Bones could of stayed but he got mad he got pulled from game and walked out of the team while Malone was Gone, the minute he did that Jokic Mal and other Vets all wanted him gone. Bones could been a perfect sixth man here but he messed it up and I said while he was still here that come playoffs Expect Braun to take Bones minutes

[@Joe-dw1jn]

Great interview and CB, you're a stud man!

[@mackie.volkman]

christian braun is my FAVORATE player of ALL time

[@mimad4923]

Dude has a serious backbone. Super mature and mentally strong for his age. Hats off to CB!

[@dejan.zivkovic.psiholog]

Congratulations. Well done Ryan 😊. This was a real treat 🎉. Thanks.

[@fdrstan]

CB is THAT DUDE! 🔥

[@ceebubzbe2516]

I am a Kansas fan and I've fell in love with CNB's game since day 1. All the work he put in paying off. You earned it Champ!

[@davidtodic9871]

Love this kid !

[@Silver_Coin_Outdoors]

Great interview! Christian is my favorite active player & I want nothing but the best for him & the Nuggets. He's a great player and more importantly a great person. Thanks for sharing the interview.

[@scotbellew2089]

Nice interview Ryan! I love the way CB plays and he seems like a good dude

[@ivagarfitt]

What nicely grounded young man.

[@aleksandarzotovic]

Respect to C.N.B. (CNB) and thank you for a great season and we all eagerly expect the trophy and everything that Denver deserves, and unfortunately there is still not that respect that you have to have, but I'm not worried, the Nuggets are going the right way, with very good and smart players and it's a pleasure to watch..hello friends and let's go Nuggets!!

[@davidmilosevic103]

Good staff!

[@timwormus]

He's going to be such a rockstar. So happy he's a Nugget.

[@ianrowland8357]

Great job Ryan, keep killing! Want the best for CB, dope guy

[@alecgwin1443]

Awesome work by Ryan and the MHS crew!

[@saucerecords8096]

Great Interview CB is so nice you cant hate him hope he is staying in denver for a long time and winning at least one ring

[@ObaidKnight]

Great Interview!

[@CHASINGCARDBOARD]

Nice work Ryan!

[@sethkeul5929]

Awesome video!!

[@joaquincaps]

great interview- hope CB will strive in this team 🙏🏽

[@oldmansportsog2514]

CB can be Nuggets IronMan and ten years down road we will ve saying this dude played over 800 games straight

[@ObaidKnight]

Questions I would've loved to seen: First impressions of (Jokic, Jamal, MPJ), Welcome to the NBA moment, Top 3 players he got starstruck going up against, Talked about his trash talking/edginess/attitude from college and bringing it to the NBA

[@timwormus]

6th man of the year next year!

[@timwormus]

I can't help but think of Jaylen Brown when I see him play. Big, super athletic, elite defender from the jump, and a unstoppable motor.

[@orbmagic]

Hope CB signs better on his auto trading card. love him🎉

[@aleksandarmladenovic5974]

👍

[@evano1480]

You the man CB. Teach Uncle Jeff to rebound and play defense (since Malone won't bench him).

[@weege001]

geez, you need a salad...

[@tlwilson32]

Why don't you have a conversation? These are all soundbyte questions, where you ask him something and he answers and then no follow up, straight into next Q that is unrelated. In future interviews if you get them, just have a conversation dude, talk about random shit let it evolve organically like you're just a homie hanging in out. Censor shit that he opens up too much about and leave the morsels. This interview plays like a battery of questions when they are on the after game podium... we alreayd get that... we don't want that. Just hang out, have a convo, talk about family, whats important, "What are you working on Chris?" Maybe it's not bbal... thats ok.

[@nikolakrstic8079]

chill out he did great. He had some random question at the start and then hit some questions that everyone wanted to know the answers too. You can't just have a random covno when you get a guy for 30 minutes

[@derionone]

Dude chill its fine

[@mar9335]

the proove is pilling up that malone is a fraud
