Kwame says the right things -- look out

So this post on the official Pistons blog quotes Michael Curry, Detroit's new coach, saying that Kwame Brown "didn’t use anything as an excuse" for Kwame's lackluster career when Curry and Brown met. Curry goes on to say: "“He took responsibility for himself and, really, once he did that, for me it was easy. That’s one of the biggest things – to get athletes to hold themselves accountable."

If I were to discuss the matter with Curry, I'd warn him that Kwame's always talked a pretty good game. It's a lot easier for Kwame to say that he cares and is responsible for himself than it is for him to actually play like it.

Let's just say that if Kwame plays any differently than the shrinking violet who has underwhelmed fans and teams at every stop of his NBA career, I'll be quite surprised.

This represents the view of the user who wrote the FanPost, and not the entire Bullets Forever community. We're a place of many opinions, not just one.

Kwame = Shrinking violet

If that’s not an apt metaphor, I don’t know what is.

Another thing

This is hilarious:

“So many people expected me to be this or that. But I was an 18-year-old kid on a veteran team. Doug was a great Xs and Os coach, but he’s hard-nosed. Those type of coaches shouldn’t draft younger guys.”

Yeah, you tell ‘em Kwame!

Also, it says in the article that his daughter’s name is Kwameeri. I did not know that, and I’m very upset that I didn’t until now.

He will never admit that the problem

Was/Is his own weak mind and poor work ethic. (okay okay, and small hands, but that’s not his fault). Hard nosed?! In the NBA? Please. I would have paid to watch Kwame endure a year with Coach Knight….

Getting buckets since 2003.

maybe he was thinking of that coach

who sugarcoats everything, gives players a wide birth and buys them ice cream when they lose a game. What’s the guy’s name again? Oh yeah: “Fired In Midseason.”

how ashamed will she be?

"Next up, an event we will be following this through Celtic training camp: the Trail Blazers’ fan base competes in sychronized sweating."
