"I'm the person you need on this team because I am willing to hold people accountable, make people around me better. But nobody sees that. All you see is the little flare ups…Nobody in that building works harder than me, I can stand on that and say that."

A.J. Brown told WIP he feels he's misunderstood as a player and person, which is frustrating to him. He says he's not a diva, and it's actually the other way around.
He implies sidelines frustrations are about holding teammates accountable. @KYWNewsradio
