Raymond Felton: The Making of a Leader
Posted Mar 24, 2009
“Just trust me.” It was that simple and that complex when Raymond Felton met with his coach about 10 games into this season. The Charlotte Bobcats had started 3-7 and the offense was the least productive in the NBA. Coach Larry Brown was riding Felton hard, as is his habit with point guards. Felton didn't mind that; he considered himself lucky to have a former point guard for a coach. He just needed to make sure Brown understood something.
