“I think there’s always a couple of people that don’t think you can step into that role,” Christian Braun, the Nuggets’ second-year swingman, offered up earlier this week. “But I always end up rising to that occasion.”
Basically, Braun has a message for all the trolls and teleprompter twits who don’t think he’s up for walking a mile in Bruce Brown’s shoes. Know what? You’re right.
He wants to slip on those bad boys Brucey B left behind and sprint up the Manitou Incline at full tilt.
“I want that challenge,” the Nuggets’ breakout rookie and one-time NCAA champion at Kansas said during a promotional appearance with Qdboa in Lakewood.
