When Brown has sat courtside at Hornets games, he’s been impressed with Miller. Brown sees similarities between basketball and drag racing. “[Miller] has that eye of the tiger when he gets on the court,” Brown, 50, said. “He smiles. He’s got a great heart. But when he’s on the court, he becomes that tiger, man. It resonates with me when you share that same kind of competitive nature and just that type of person off the court like I am off the racetrack. “When he came in my world, he saw what we go through — the mindset, the focus, and how intense the sport is and how powerful our sport was. It’s no different than when you sit courtside. I got to come watch his games a couple times and see how explosive their game is when you’re sitting courtside. There is a mindset and similarities that me and him share. Our sport is reactive where you do things on the fly because you prepare yourself for battle, but you have to do it with your unconscious mind.”
