<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> As part of their preparation for the FIBA Americas Tournament, Team USA brought a team of nine up-and-comers to Las Vegas to scrimmage against. On Saturday, the Select Team did their thing and one of the stars was Rocket rookie Aaron Brooks. AB had 14 points in the scrimmage. He hit a couple of big threes and mixed in some impressive drives to the hoop. After Saturday's run, I asked Brooks if there was any nervousness in playing against one of the greatest groups of basketball talent ever assembled before he even played in one NBA game. "You try not to have it, but it's definitely there," he said. "These are the guys that you grew up watching. I watched all these guys play for a while, some longer than others. But as time goes by, you get over that, you start playing your game, and I don't know, it's getting a little better." And he definitely left everyone else in the gym impressed. Here are some quotes about Brooks from his opponents, a teammate and his coach... </div> Click link for comments on AB from Jason Kidd, Deron Williams, Chauncey Billups, Kobe Bryant, and P.J. Carlisimo, and Jason Kapono.
