NBA sources believe Jaylen Brown thinks he’s the smartest person in the room, per @colincowherd
“I had two NBA sources … two people in the league, one an executive, one a scout, say that Jaylen Brown has — it’s a disease. He suddenly thinks he’s the smartest guy in every room he’s in … You make a lot of money, suddenly you’re absolutely sure, you don’t wanna listen to your bosses, you don’t wanna listen to consultants, you don’t wanna listen to teammates.”

"When I played there, they call you the n-word. When they drunk, they're going to call you that. ... For what Jaylen Brown stands for, the city of Boston is different than that. When I look at JB, he's doing stuff that Muhammad Ali, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Russell. He stands for something so big, which I love about him." - @TThompson
