Via True Hoop, the latest update on Dee Brown's condition. In case you weren't watching, Brown got crushed by teammate Memo Okur, suffered a nasty impact with the floor, and left the arenas in a stretcher. Definitely scary stuff.From the Salt Lake Tribune:
Brown scored two points in six minutes, and did not return to the game. He was taken to a local hospital where neurological tests and X-rays were normal, the Jazz said. Brown was expected to be released from the hospital before midnight, senior vice president of basketball operations Kevin O'Connor said."All basketball aside, it's good to hear Brown is okay. Between his scare and Derek Fisher's heartfelt heroics, the Jazz seems to be stealing all of the Warriors' emotional momentum. Heading into this postseason, I think a lot of people were planning to hate on the Jazz because, well, they were coached by Sloan and worse that uniform. But Fisher, Brown, and Kirilenko's flight of self-discovery, all of sudden they've become the sentimental favorite.
This image is not of Brown leaving the hospital, but a healthy, smiling image of him seemed like the right choice.

myssec1, the best answer to that would probably be "Dee Brown" as in, "Dee Brown was broken."

Dee is awesome! We were just sick when we saw him go down last night. Hope he is better, is recovering, and will be right back on the court this weekend. We are so glad he's been able to come in off the bench and go right to work. He's showing his stuff and proving himself. He and Deron were such great teammates at Illinois. How can we not love them? GO JAZZ, GO DERON, GO DEE!!!!
