I have been saying this for years about Jaylen Brown and the Celtics, but hearing his perspective about those losses and moments of embarrassment making him a better player is dope 💯 WATCH the whole clip ☘️
Jaylen Brown speaks on the ‘scars’ that built a champion. From the ‘22 Finals loss to the Warriors to the ‘23 ECF heartbreak vs the Heat. He turned that pain into a ‘24 Ring and now he’s passing that wisdom to Drake Maye.
“Turn all that hurt into fuel, & I promise you, you'll be better for it. Level up, come back even better. Could have been an MVP year should have been an MVP Year for Drake Maye. I stand on that.“ 🗣️
FCHWPO TWITCH
Jaylen Brown responds to Colin Cowherd saying sources told him he’s a “disease” who feels like he’s the “smartest in guy in every room he’s in,” explaining that the bar for athlete intelligence is low, and he only started streaming so he can be authentic & have his own voice 💯👀
“Colin Cowherd. His last name proceeds him… i never told anybody ‘Look, I’m the smartest in the room’… In sports, no offense to everybody in sports, but the bar is f*cken low… That’s what people forget to take into consideration… Mothaf*cker you not talking about basketball. You coming at my character right now.”
I’m sitting here on my day off just trying to figure out how Jaylen Brown “went off script” in the series against the Sixers when Mazzulla literally started Baylor Scheierman, Luka Garza & Ron Harper in Gm 7 (combined 0/7 w/ 0 pts)
Brown’s stat line: 33 pts, 9 reb, 4 ast, 3 blks
One thing I’ve always said is even if Jaylen Brown wasn’t on the Celtics, he would still be one of my favorite players in the NBA. Thank you Jaylen Brown for bringing Banner 18 to the Celtics ☘️💍🏆
Jaylen Brown on his Twitch stream, about “anonymous sources”:
‘I’m tired of these damn anonymous sources, like, anonymous executive — Colin Cowherd, Bobby Marks, Stephen A. Smith — I think yall are the sources”
Jaylen Brown says he didn’t like that the Boston Celtics didn’t tell him why he was being traded.
“I wasn’t thrilled with how the conversation was facilitated. I did feel like it was a lack of respect. At one point it was fine, and then out of nowhere it just went left. I definitely think there’s more to it. There definitely is more to it. I know Brad is getting a lot of criticism, but I just wish more of it could have been explained. I just wish they had the respect to tell me exactly what it was, and I would have understood and respected that… Some of the guys have already reached out from the Celtics, some of the young guys, so I appreciate them… The guys I was able to build with, those guys who reached out to me, all told me, ‘It was a pleasure to play with you, and I appreciate everything that you helped me with,’ so that’s the stuff that gives you more motivation to keep going.”
Jaylen Brown went live to address Brad Stevens and being traded by the Boston Celtics for the first time:
“I’m still processing everything, so give me some time… But I will say, there was a message being sent and that message was received. I wasn't thrilled with the amount of respect I was shocked during this process I think there was a lack of respect and then out of nowhere things kinda went left I think Brad Stevens is probably getting a lot of the criticism I wasn't thrilled the way he facilitated some of the conversations but there's definitely more to it”
