A former NBA player talks about Bronny James, Stephen Curry, and reveals his GOAT

Brandon Jennings rose to fame in 2009 when he scored 55 points as a rookie against the Golden State Warriors led by Stephen Curry, who was also a rookie at the time. He was drafted by the Milwaukee Bucks and played for the Detroit Pistons, Orlando Magic, Washington Wizards, and New York Knicks, but never quite secured a stable spot in the NBA.

In an interview with HoopsHype, which we present below, he discussed various current and past league-related topics, such as the injury that hindered the rest of his career. He also mentioned his partnership with Curry and his brand, confessing that for him, his GOAT is Kobe Bryant.

Which countries did you enjoy playing in the most during your time abroad?

Brandon Jennings: I would say China and Italy. Both places have so much in terms of history and culture, and the way they live their lives is so different but rich, if you know what I mean.

Your Achilles tendon injury changed the trajectory of your career. Do you feel that nowadays such an injury is not as devastating as it used to be?

BJ: Well, I ruptured my Achilles tendon while in Detroit, so it was about 10 years ago. It definitely changed the way I played and affected me just when I felt I was playing the best basketball of my career.

Some of the players you see today who have come back and made an impact, like KD and Klay [Thompson], are taller and are shooters, so perhaps it's easier for guys like them to adapt their game to remain effective. But that rehabilitation is no joke either, so it's a testament to how hard they've worked just to be able to return.

For smaller point guards who rely on their speed, I would say it's still quite challenging to recover nowadays. I definitely think it depends on what type of player you are when facing such a serious injury.
