Brown: I left because I received a good salary, but I always wanted to return to the Nuggets

In an interview, Bruce Brown talked about his departure from the Nuggets and his memories of winning the championship with the Nuggets.

Bruce Brown said: "I left the Nuggets, obviously because the salary on that contract was too good - I didn't want to leave. The decision to leave was difficult, but I had no choice. I used to play for the Pacers, and that team was about to make a good result, but I was traded to several teams in the rebuilding period, and those teams didn't have the ability to compete for the championship at all. Anyone who knows my style of playing knows that I like to win, not to like it. Lose the game.

So, when I first arrived at the Raptors, I immediately started thinking about going back to the Nuggets. Later, the time went by and I was traded to the Pelicans again. It was another difficult experience, and the team was full of wounded soldiers. The whole time I was with the Pelicans, I always thought about the Nuggets. "

Brown also recalled affectionately when the Nuggets won the first NBA championship in team history - when they defeated the Miami Heat in Game 5 of the Finals and successfully won the championship. "The whole process of winning the championship felt very unreal," Brown said. "I just remember that after I hit the last free throw, my tears couldn't help falling. When I walked back to the field, I saw DeAndre Jordan and Jeff Green - who had been playing in the league for 15 or 16 years - were already crying. There were 5 to 10 seconds left in the game, and I was thinking, 'The game is not over yet'. Although we had won, that feeling was really unreal. It's true, it's so beautiful."

"The championship parade is even more crazy. I've never seen a place in Denver gather so many people all at once. However, I just want to win the championship again now, and that time (who won the championship last time) was really pleasant. "

Bruce Brown returned to the Nuggets with a one-year contract this summer. He played for the Pelicans last season, averaging 8.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game.
