Bruce Brown Throws Shade At The Lakers: "Never Felt Like We Were Gonna Lose..."

The Denver Nuggets won the 2023 NBA championship, with them going through some tough opponents to win at the highest level. There's no doubt that this was a well-deserved championship win.

One of the teams that the Nuggets had to defeat was the Los Angeles Lakers. It didn't seem as though the Lakers challenged the Nuggets, as the series ended in a sweep. Recently, Bruce Brown revealed that the Nuggets never felt like they were going to lose a game against the Lakers. 

"I would say our toughest series was Minnesota... Phoenix it was just blowouts each game ... [Lakers] It never felt like we were gonna lose any game. Even when they were on their little run..." 

Ultimately, the Denver Nuggets are allowed to feel this way. They defeated the Los Angeles Lakers in every game, and the victors are allowed to talk all they want. Still, the Los Angeles Lakers have a good squad, and perhaps they can get revenge in the 2024 playoffs.

Against the Los Angeles Lakers in the playoffs, Bruce Brown averaged 12.3 PPG, 4.0 RPG, and 2.5 APG while shooting 36.4% from 3PT range. He definitely had a good series, which earned him a lucrative contract from the Indiana Pacers. Brown is one of the premier 3 and D players in the league, and it is good to see him get paid.


Bruce Brown Was Recruited By Tyrese Haliburton To Join The Indiana Pacers

It is clear that Bruce Brown picked the most lucrative offer in free agency, as the Indiana Pacers gave him a two-year, $45 million deal. However, there were also other reasons for him to join, and previously, Brown revealed that Tyrese Haliburton was recruiting him. 

"I took two meetings. The Knicks was the first. I think we had others lined up, but we didn't make it there... I just think it's a perfect fit. Tyrese [Haliburton] was recruiting me a little bit." 

There is no doubt that playing where one is wanted is valuable for any player, and obviously, the money doesn't hurt either. The underrated part of Brown being on the Pacers is also the opportunity for a bigger role, and we'll see how he will do next season.
