Heading into Monday’s clash with his old team and coming off a back-to-back in Cleveland, current Philadelphia 76ers head coach and former long-time Spurs assistant Brett Brown had little time to catch up with some old friends in San Antonio, but he made it work.
On Monday morning, Brown had former Spurs defensive ace Bruce Bowen hang out in his coaches and players meetings, which included discussing the importance accepting your role on the team.
“Bruce sat in on our coaches meeting and then he sat in on the players meeting, and I thought, well, he’s here, an undrafted player that is a 14-year NBA veteran, that is an eight-time All-NBA Defensive player, that is a four-time first-team All-NBA Defensive player and is a three-time NBA champion.
