A.J. Brown on responding to social media criticism

Transcript

00:00 Honestly, that was all, I got this favor like that or something.

00:06 Me personally, I didn't have a lot, I didn't have a lot to work with.

00:11 I'm in, I said hey, I appreciate it.

00:16 I pride myself on being the best.

00:21 When the game's on the line, throw me the ball.

00:23 So when things don't go my way, it's okay, sure, put it on me,

00:26 put the blame on me.

00:27 I accept that, too much is given, too much is required.

00:30 And so I had to sit down and really think to myself, yeah,

00:34 they do put the blame on me, sure.

00:36 I asked for that, I asked to be in that chair.

00:39 So who cares, so what?

00:41 That don't define me, none of that stuff don't define me.

00:44 But I know for a fact, I'm working my tail off.

00:49 Me personally, I know I'm working my tail off.

00:53 And I'm trying to do whatever I can to help this team win.

00:56 And so that's where you see the little frustration comes in and stuff like that.

00:59 Cuz I know I dedicated my life to this.

01:03 And I sacrificed, spent time with my own family for this game,

01:07 for being my teammates to win games.

01:09 So it means a lot to me, it means the world to me.

01:12 I told Amar on the way home, when we got home at 7 in the morning,

01:16 I was dangling, crying on the way home.

01:18 It means a lot to me.

01:20 We feel the frustration from the city, we feel that.

01:23 We wanna do it for y'all, you know what I'm saying?

01:25 Most importantly, we wanna do it for our teammates, our brothers.

01:27 We're going to work, we're working hard.

01:29 We're giving blood, sweat, and tears to this game.

01:32 So our fans, I don't want them to think that we don't care or

01:37 we're not trying our best.

01:40 We got a standard and we're trying to uphold the standard.

01:41 We don't want no excuses either.

01:43 We're ten times harder on ourselves than anybody can be on us.

01:48 We're the ones going into work, we're doing this.

01:51 Not for the creeps.
