Staying Positive
What’s up, everybody? We just finished a long week of practice and it wasn’t easy, I’ll tell you that. Monday we had a day off, which was cool. Tuesday-Friday it was straight running, we felt like we were trying out for the Olympic Cross Country Team or something. I think the coach was upset about our loss last week, because he made us run on the football field (soccer field) for a good 45mins. Then the next day we ran 80 sprints in practice for an hour and a half…which was rough. It felt like we were back in pre-season training camp. Then the next day we worked on defense the entire practice. This was all leading up to our game on Sunday…
So we had the game on Sunday against Scavolini Spar Pesaro…and we lost 106-93. It was pretty ugly. At one point I think we were down by 30pts. But my teammates never gave up. Allen Ray and Andre Hutson played really hard trying to keep us in the game. Hutson had 18pts, A Ray had 20pts. I only played 8mins in the game…5pts, 1asst. Not bad for 8mins, I guess…but I’d be lying if I said I’m not hungry for more PT.
No matter how much time I get on the floor in games, nothing is going to stop me from working hard every day, like staying after practice to shoot, getting to practice 30mins before to hit the weights, etc. I want to be the best I can be on the floor for my team, and I want to show my team I care so I will always be prepared. I’m never going to stop working, this has always been a big part of who I am. I take a lot of pride in knowing that I work as hard as I do.
It’s all about learning and staying positive, so I’m going to take everything in stride and be the hardest worker on the team. It is a long season and we have just begun…we have about 50 more games so the more prepared I stay, the better off we all will be towards the end of the season.
Until next time,
Brandon

all that running, doesn’t that wear you guys down and get sore maybe? Perhaps the score would’ve been a little different if the coach had you in the game a little bit more. (a win maybe?) Keep up the great mentality, laters bro.
Good stuff. I wanna see some pics of you doing some extra pushups, pullups, dips, and squats next!! Get strong and you’ll be unstoppable Brandon!!
Listen 2 your coach overseas and let him help you develop. You are very talented and can be better than kobe if you work hard and are willing to learn more aspects of the professional (NBA) game. You really can be an amazing player if allow yourself to be taught more and apply it to your game.
Hey BJ..here’s a Virtus Roma fan..just want u to say that you’re the most skilled and talented player we’ve ever had..unfortunately is a one year thing…so I hope to see you play more minutes in the games..and break some ankles like Jamal Crawford did in this vid..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whKAx7hZ1Fw
Brandon, you are the f******g man dogg. It must be real tough leaving all your boys, girls and your American lifestyle straight outta high school. We’re the same age, I’m playin ball for a University in Montreal, Canada and I just wanted to tell you that I really try and model my game after you. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that you are an innovator and I can’t wait until you grace the NBA with your presence
Peace homeboy,
