Re: wow!!!

Dee Brown was an excellent player his rookie year.  I forgot the exact
comment that Larry Bird made but it was high praise.

And the final game of the 1990/1991 season, in the play-offs against the
Pistons, was an absolutely astounding game by Dee Brown.  It really looked
like we had a future star on his hands.  Then he injured his knee at the
beginning of the next season and he was never the same again.
