Bruce Bowen on Carter Bryant's moment with Mitch Johnson:
"Imma tell you this. So Pop has made this joke with me, he says 'Carter Bryant is so much better than you', and I said 'And he can jump higher too', and Pop fell out laughing at that.
But the reality this young man is talented. 19 years old, playing in the Western Conference Finals, trying to be the best he can be each and every time. Is willing to take on that moment of 'you say I'm guarding the top guy? OK, I'm all in'.
Now with that, when things don't go well for a 19 year old a lot of times they put even more pressure on themselves.
When I spoke to Carter, I said 'Carter man, do you know how many times Pop chewed my tail out on national television? We thought the cameras were off and he was still going!' I said 'It's to make you better', and he had no problem with that.
His thing was he wasn't playing well and he wants to play well. I take that from a young man that wants to be the best version of himself."

Mitch Johnson had strong words for his rookie Carter Bryant, but sent him right back in the game to play through it.
