“I was raised that way, but I wanted my kids to be that way, too, because if you don’t have any fight in you, you don’t go anywhere.'
LAS VEGAS — Lisa Braun doesn’t believe in participation trophies.When her two oldest sons – Parker and Nuggets first-round pick Christian – were in elementary school, she and her husband started a traveling basketball team near Burlington, Kansas, in an effort to promote their boys’ budding hoop dreams.
Years later, under Lisa’s strict guidance, the team won a national tournament for sixth graders. More than a year younger than Parker, Christian had played “up” on the team and channeled his mom’s feistiness.It’s one of the primary reasons the Nuggets targeted the former Jayhawks star, making the 6-foot-6 wing the No. 21 overall pick in last month’s draft. They’d been scouting him for years and relished his size, toughness, versatility and edge.
“I was young, but I was ornery, for sure,” Christian said when he was relayed a story about smashing Missouri ornaments from the family Christmas tree, leaving only Jayhawk decorations to dangle.
