Larry Brown David Quotations

I'd like to put Stu Jackson and David Stern and some of those guys in that same situation and see how they would have reacted. He helped get things under control.

I'm amazed at the restraint (Davis) had. I'd like to put Stu Jackson or (NBA commissioner) David Stern in that situation and see how they'd react. He'd have been in a lot more trouble if he went home that night and hadn't done anything.

We've had a lot of those rallies with some of the young players. It was fun. David kept begging out, and I kept looking the other way because he played . But it was good. If you can compete like that every night, that's real important.

I've never coached that way, where we've never had a set rotation, except my first year in San Antonio, we had a lot of injuries. That's really hurt the team. It hurts your progress. All of a sudden, we settled on David at the three and we have the three-guard rotation for the most part. It helps everybody, I think.

David has a lot of the things Bobby had. He's athletic, he can rebound, he can run, he can handle it pretty well. The more he does it, the more I believe he'll be able to defend people because he is athletic and he has quickness. He has good basketball intelligence. He's unselfish.

David came in and gave us a lot of life.

He's way behind where he will be, but he's worked very hard and he's getting better every day. He's nowhere up to the level of conditioning that Channing Frye, David Lee and Jackie Butler and the rest of our young kids are at this time. But I always think that it takes bigger guys longer.

I could understand the league's point of view, but I'd like to put Stu Jackson or David Stern or one of those guys in that situation and see how they would have reacted. I'm amazed at the restraint he had.
