Brandon Aiyuk has a message for Jayden Daniels
“You’re on my team now. You follow my rules. Boy, I’m a grown ass man. You’re gonna have to start running behind your momma and I might believe what you’re talking about, but until then, uh-uh.”

Additional details on Jaylen Brown trade, per @sam_amick, @byjayking:
- Trade "not driven by finances"
- Blazers' analytics view Brown as a "negative player"
- One current GM doesn't view Brown as a top-50 player in the league
- Celtics believe all four picks received will be valuable whether kept or used in trades
- Boston questioned whether Brown would buy in to re-accepting a smaller role alongside Jayson Tatum
- Celtics thought Brown went "off script" too often during playoff series loss to Sixers
There is a Cold War going on between Jaylen Brown and corporations like Nike. Nike is using its power to fund narratives about Jaylen. They’re using Stephen A. Smith as a corporate prostitute to get their message across.
Timeline breakdown
November 2022
Brown posted: “Since when did Nike care about ethics?” in response to Nike dropping Kyrie Irving.
September 2024
After Brown won the NBA championship and Finals MVP, Nike offered Jaylen $50 million to sign with them after he had already questioned their ethics, and Brown turned down the Nike endorsement offer.
They thought he wouldn’t stand on principle. He also turned it down because they tried to put restrictions on his speech in the clause.
That same year, in 2024, @stephenasmith came out with a video saying “his source tells him that Jaylen is ‘not liked because he thinks he’s better than people.’”
This is why the media has been trying to put a wedge between Jayson Tatum (Nike) and Jaylen Brown.
Stephen A. Smith for Nike is what Candace Owens was for The Daily Wire.
Guard dog for corporations.
Jaylen Brown is a 76er today, because the owner of the Boston Celtics doesn't really own the Boston Celtics. This is the latest depressing example of Private Equity controlling sports
