The players were chosen by journalists from the European media, coaches, captains and fans, whose votes were calculated together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p> \t<span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">&#8220;Being selected for the Euroleague First Team is amazing&#8221;, admitted Brown, &#8220;all my life I&#8217;ve worked to reach these levels and now that it&#8217;s happening I&#8217;m grateful&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p> \t<span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Brown also wished to compliment his back court partner: &#8220;Wade made it to the Second Team and he deserves all the credit for that, even though I think he should be in the First Team with me.
