Brett Brown is a worldly man with a diverse set of interests.
How else can his ability to shift seamlessly from talking about hoops to politics be explained?
As distinct of a quality as that may be, Brown possesses it.
“It’s always like a back end of some other conversation,” said Hollis Thompson on Friday, following the 76ers’ shootaround in Washington, D.C., where they prepared for a 7:00 PM EST match-up with the Wizards. Thompson, a three-year member of the Sixers, has emerged as one of Brown’s favorite targets when it comes to reviewing news of the day.
“It might start off like transition defense, then we’ll end on the war, somewhere,” Thompson explained.
As passionately as Brown discusses basketball, which was again the case Friday, when he laid out expectations to see his team compete harder than it did in Wednesday’s 38-point loss to the Atlanta Hawks, the Sixers’ head coach oozes similar enthusiasm when given the chance to analyze current events happening stateside, or overseas.
