Before ever stepping on an NBA floor, this Spurs rookie may have already made an enemy with an all-time great.
While at the NBA’s Summer League in Las Vegas, San Antonio rookies Malaki Branham and Jeremy Sochan were playing a harmless game for the cameras. The point of the game was to guess what was written on a piece of paper without looking at it. The person across from the other was supposed to give hints without saying what was actually on the paper—and Sochan didn’t think to filter his thoughts.
On Sochan’s paper, “triple double” was written. So, in order to get him to say it, Branham said, “Russell Westbrook get em a lot.” To which Sochan instantly responded: “bricks.”
