Christian Braun, the ‘rookie’ with a Disney backpack that has messed it up in Miami

A Christian Braun the cat eats its tongue and it seems that it does not break a plate. Beardless, combed to one side without extravagances, a virgin with tattoos, the defining rookie package, as the ‘rookie’ canons dictate. He made it to the NBA without making noise as a number 21 del draft neither does he do it in the locker room, sitting quietly in a corner with his cell phone, without saying a word and oblivious to the music. And he’s wearing a Frozen backpack. He can’t be any smaller.

-What does the coach ask me? Just bring it, energy, play hard. It’s my job,” Braun responded in conversation with MD before the playoffs. Wow yes it does.

Braun, the devil disguised as an angel, turned everything upside down in Game 3 with some unforeseen events 15 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist in 19 minutes that was beyond the calculations of the Heat, much more than the abundant triple-doubles of Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray. The boy even tried a mate over Bam Adebayo that ended with a personal foul. Opening night as a star in the debauchery of the Miami night to stun someone as difficult to captivate as the Joker himself.

“I always speak of him as a champion, as a winner. He’s always making winning plays. I think he has a future in this league”, highlighted the doble MVP, from which the young escort from 22 years try to embody his work ethic. “I have to give him a lot of love. He is a ‘rookie’ and he has been fantastic, aggressive, strong, confident… It has been impressive and it was fun to watch him”, underlined an absolutely impressed Michael Malone, who wanted to make a special mention after talking about Jokic and Murray.

Nikola Jokic on Christian Braun

“I have only made plays,” Braun pointed out, the modesty that the boy appears real, more than a factor X. “Credit goes to Murray and Jokic, they let me be me, and that’s what I appreciate about this team. But we still haven’t done anything”, added the escort, so perfect and diligent with a 7/8 in field goals, also adding an assist.

Braun has a lot of that, from what his applied student look transmits. The student with a successful career, three school championships and one national championship after winning the NCAA last year with Kansas. The student who respects the family heritage, his mother is a basketball player in Missouri and his six brothers are basketball players -Christian’s uncles-. College player his father. The model student of demanding parents:

“My mother is more critical. Her criticism is not constructive nor is she most of the time. She is the most critical of the group ”, confessed the number 21 of the last draft in conversation with Tim Reynolds. And, despite his airs of a saint and ‘rookie’, his classmates respect him to such an extent that they had not done him newbies.

“You see a lot of kids in the league doing funny things, making young people sing and dance, but I haven’t had to do any of those things…yet! Thanks to my veterans for that. But I carry a Frozen backpack, so I have a Frozen backpack. Disney I carry around, which is pretty funny. I take it on all our trips ”, the escort told Brett Siegel for Sports Illustrated this course.

Braun was almost fined one day for parking at the Nuggets owner’s site

But, in a reflection of that certain point of rebellion and audacity to which he gives free rein on the track, Christian Braun was almost fined in April for parking in the place…of Stan Kronke, Nuggets owner!

And quietly, he can join a select club: the sixth player in history to win the NCAA and the NBA in consecutive years. Only Arnie Ferrin, Bill Russell, Henry Bibby, Magic Johnson and Billy Thompson. They want to join that boy who is so adorable to look at but volcanic on the track the night he deflowered himself in Miami.
