Legendary podcast, with a legendary player CB! Love seeing this guy have a ton of success in his rookie year. Rock Chalk.
CB predicted the Hunter Dickinson transfer.
Mike Malone doesn’t play rookies. Braun is the real deal. We love him here in Denver!
true. such a good defender already to compliment joker
I mean that isnt really true that he doesnt play rookies. He's played every single rookie we've drafted since... well, Jamal Murray in his first year. Everyone has gotten at least a chance if they've deserved it. The only guy who didnt really get one is Bol Bol for obvious reasons. Jamal played, Joker played, MPJ played, Bones played, even Zeke played. RJ Hampton even got some chances, enough to net us Aaron Gordon!
He's definitely not the most talented, but the heart and effort he plays with is something that only the best coaches truly reward.
No great coach does unless they have to
@@21kburdhe more talented then he has shown in his rookie year. You will see it in years 2 more
As a Nuggs fan in Denver this kid is so fun to watch n is quickly becoming a big fan favorite n love the trust Malone is putting in him in the playoffs
This is gold! Asking questions that us regular folks want to hear.
The Nuggets made a great pick with Christian Braun. I was having fun as a fan, (65 yrs) the first time I saw Christian play.
As a Nuggets fan since 1976, I love seeing how well CB is fitting in, especially his contribution in Game 3 of the Finals! And one of only 5 IN HISTORY to earn rings for back-to-back championships in college and the pros!!!
Our goated kid. The one who is being one of the most impactful player on this PHX series. Long live Braun as the Mr Nuggets!
Braun your hustle and work ethic and defense will be a main reason the nuggets win a championship
great interview, watching this from Serbia :))
Suns fan here. CB is a certified dawg. He made KD and Book work. Really great in transition and great positioning defensively. Go get that chip CB
I was surprised how good he defended KD even more surprised how many KD made
Look at y’all all grown up mannn 😂😂 Mitch is married, CB boutta be in the western conference finals, and Teahan is on a podcast wearing a suit 😂🔥🔥
Much love from Germany CB u will help us to get a Ring
I think I've seen you around the DNVR Nuggets streams, I'm trying to get Harrison and Co. to check this out
@@triqmarsamxett6986 yeah that's true imma ask them tomorrow if they have seen it
this guy is so underrated man, love him, he's key to the nuggets tbh, can't believe he's rookie yet so level headed.
Shoutout to Christian…. Keep hustling yo
Yall enjoy my boy braun I sure do miss watching him from his time at Kansas! 😢
Love having him on the team so much! I think he's got a Jaylen Brown trajectory. Huge part of the Nugget's future!
Totally different type of players . Bad Comp. I hate comparing white players to other white players But here he is A Grayson Allen type 😊
I was so impressed by CB during regular season streaming. I ended buying a ticket to a game on the floor level, not knowing who was going to play and who wasn't. It was perfect because I was able to see all of the starters and when Christian got on the floor I was super excited to see him dunk right in front of me and took some free throws right in front of me. I took some incredible pictures of him in action. He is going to be a superstar in the NBA. He is our Rookie and we love him. Good luck tomorrow night CB, we all will be rooting for you and the guys.
I love braun but people throw around the word superstar to much. Jokic Jamal those are superstars Braun has capabilities of being on the all defensive teams though
i am so glad i saw this video, closest experience i will have to what it's like in the nba, and it's a massive plus that CB is so down-to-earth too. =
I invested heavily in Christian in the sports card market! Autos and more. But im a nuggets fan and i LOVE the fact that they drafted Braun. He absolutely fits here. And if he moves, Nikola will get him at least a couple layups and open 3s a game. Just happy hes here...
And eventhough he didn't play another year, he has an NBA body and can defend no matter what he says...lol
Omg. That's the best story ever! 3 spots and they were kronkes! Omg...surprised kronke didn't forgive that. Holy #@f!. This has been the best info I've ever heard.
Jokic is a 3X MVP.
He got robbed sadly
love this interview!! thank you!!!!!
CB is a certified winner!
I hope he is not a chiefs fan even if he is we still love you man I like that he don’t back down or get antenmaided
CB is the best. Go Nuggets!
Awesome Interview, lot of cool insight
Keep up the good work Christian Braun! You definitely deserve a hefty check next year😉😃😊😎🏀 #gonuggets
great roll and defense in game #5! This guy always brings energy to a Nuggets game.
greetings from Europe, Serbia.
🃏👑
CB, I wish you a good Luck, every time you play, get the W Go Nuggets...
Gotta get that Braun jersey now
Braun 🐐
We love CB in Denver.
He had a great agent. Props
Wish I could have asked this question for CB about HD, but maybe you all can touch on it next time.
Coach and HD both talked about growing HDs game to be more prepared for the nba. What does that look like? Is Jokic some sort of target to shoot for, even if they’re light years apart?
Love bringing the old guys back to reminisce.
Suggestion. Invite the new guys on this summer. Set it up as a “Hey let the fans get to know you” veil of setting them straight. So many new guys that need to get turned up, and probably the young guys that need an awakening.
Glad I scooped up a signed Kansas and Dallas jersey. This kid is here to stay.
Thats my guy Christian 'Roast Beef' Braun
So cool that CB’s brother Parker jus committed to play his last year at KU 🔥🔥🔥 definitely hyped to have another Braun as a Jayhawk!!! Rock chalk 🟦🟥
The Dirty Bird 😂😂😂😂
My bro CB needs more minutes in the finals. Let that thing fly! They're sleeping on your ability the oppositon and the Nuggets coaching staff
CB has ice water in his veins he is so cool on the greatest offensive players in the game moments never too big for CB tonight game six CB is going to grab them by the jugular tonight in the Nuggets are going to shut them down as a team allow less than 100 points does the sun and we will definitely win Call Christian
It’s quickly becoming our best defensive player on the Nuggets
By farrrrr best episode yet 🔥 s/o to rock chalk unplugged for making my day 🙏
Which parent gave you your springs? 🤔
Top 5 defensive guard in the NBA
💪🤠👍
I am this many days old when I learn that if you are not picked in the draft you can’t go back to school.
please stay in denver and dont chase the money. rack up those rings then go cash out. you are so important to joker in the future.
If you play D, you will get minutes in the NBA. If you play outstanding D, you will get quality minutes in the NBA. It's not rocket science.
I hope CB will be a Nugget for life 🙏🏽
Defensive juggernaut….
You are good looking guy
Jeff Green is 37 years old😊
Looks like Dickinson took Christian's advice!🤣
Mali ima muda
The Nug's only problem is they have too many good players now.
I wonder if bones is rooting for him 🤔
Why?
@@johnathanjamesdavis5842 The bones trade opened up our rotation for CB
Tenacious d
Why is kd crying
CUZ HE JUST GOT DUNKED ON!!!!!!!!
Krispy kremeeee
Rumor has it that KD is still looking for his jock strap he got blasted out of.
Hummm i need to get into the business of being around high paid people that i can fine and charge 10× regular price
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
