After the Toronto Raptors’ 107-104 victory over the Houston Rockets on Friday night, an unusual sound echoed through their locker room. Instead of the typical celebratory post-game choice, country music tunes were blasting through the speakers. This unexpected change was due to the team’s new acquisition, Bruce Brown, who was traded from the Indiana Pacers last month as part of the Pascal Siakam deal. Brown is a big fan of country music and has been known to wear cowboy hats and overalls in previous stops. While hip hop is the most common genre preferred by NBA players, Brown took charge of the post-game playlist and sang along to Luke Bryan and other country artists. In a quick chat with a reporter, Brown expressed his relief at staying with the Raptors after being one of the most popular names in trade rumors before the deadline. He stated that he can now focus on getting to know his teammates and be more relaxed after the uncertainty of the past two weeks.
