Jaylen Brown says he had his first NBA paycheck mailed to him so he could hold it in his hands: $182,000
“I told them to mail it to me so I could just feel it and touch it. I wanted to see my first check. I wanted to feel it in my hand”
“The first check that I got was $182,000. I remember seeing that as an 18-year-old coming from a single parent household. I just saw $182,000 hit on the first check and I was like, ‘Alright, welcome to the NBA’”
“Sami Zayn, I heard what you said about me on social media. I understand how you feel. If you want a shot, you certainly deserve a rematch. I'll give you a rematch.”

Jaylen Brown says he used the NBA Players Association instead of hiring an agent for the NBA Draft because they're paid to help players
“When I entered the draft, I didn't have an agent. I'm probably the highest picked selected ever that didn't enter with an agent. When I was evaluating, I went through the whole process and sat with a bunch of people, and what they was offering I ain't really need. It was kind of already slotted, so I leaned on the union a lot more”
“A lot of the agents came and was like, ‘Yeah, we'll move you to L.A. We'll get you a trainer, put some money in your pocket,’ and I was like, ‘For what? Do I gotta give the money back?’ They was like, ‘Nah, but standard agent fee is 4%.’ I'm starting to do the math, and a house, car, and all that, whatever he was offering, is a lot less than what 4% would have been”
“Long story short, the math wasn't mathing for me. I ended up being the third pick. I think because I came in like that, a lot of people, I think it was the agents, they tried to slander my name a little bit, put it in the media that he's too this, he's too that. Ended up backfiring. It all worked out in the end”
“With the union, we pay dues. All the players in the NBA pay dues. We all pay like $10,000 out of our salary that goes to hiring lawyers, hiring staff, CEO, everything that you need to lead a company that works for us. So all of that is our resources that we all pay for, that we agree to. Once I learned that, I just started using it”
“I'm talking about you can get private investigations done. They give referrals for financial advisors. All type of stuff. Foundation wise, health insurance, whatever you need. They have a liaison that's paid to make sure that you get it done. So I put it on their desk like, ‘I need you to get this done.’ And they do because that's their job”
He was so right about the bar for being smartest in the room is low af in the league because for weeks we’ve heard nba players tell us how hundreds of millions of dollars isn’t enough money… meanwhile I’ve never once heard any of them mention any of this shit lol.
