Nerlens Noel spoke out in support of Brett Brown's extension with the Philadelphia 76ers.

"He's been the foundation of us," Noel said. "He keeps us together and he definitely deserved it. Brett's done so much for us. I think he's a great coach and he's only going to make us better and better."

"I love the city of Philadelphia. It's real," he said. "It's difficult, at times, going through what we all go through. I like raising my family here. I like my son, my little 11-year-old son, being on the streets of Philadelphia playing playground basketball, my kids going through the Lower Merion school district."
