This was undoubtedly a night of great frustration for Brown.
During the game, completely reduced to a mere shadow by the Gasol brothers' star fury, Brown was rendered utterly helpless by the opposition.
However...
While the Gasol brothers were putting Brown to the test for the fans to see his true worth, the Warriors, on the other hand, found a silver lining.
At the technical table, as the dejected Brown was dealing with a foul crisis, Big Ben confidently stepped in.
Then, in the next round, Big Ben, with his enduring physique, single-handedly defended against Little Gasol's strong inside attack for the Warriors.
Even though 37-year-old Big Ben couldn't support a team's defensive system like he could at 27 with his staunch defense,
In limited playing time, who else but Yao, who could turn Big Ben into a mere clock, did he fear in today's league?
Marketing might have given Brown a historically higher status than Big Ben in this lifetime.
