Jaylen Brown & Jayson Tatum always knew they were different... that's exactly why it worked ☘️
Stephen Jackson & Matt Barnes saw the championship potential back in 2019.

@FCHWPO doing something only a few could catch. You can tell the cloth he’s from and as a man you should want every man in ya family to carry that type of character…open to dialogue
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.”
It’s so nasty all the NEGATIVE things I’m seeing people say about Jaylen Brown!!! I don’t care how yall talk about bros game, it’s all opinion based anyway! Please stay away from talking about the PERSON and his character!!!! He’s real as they come! Don’t get it twisted people
He went to Cal Berkeley
He works for NASA
He is a college professor
He is an active contributor in his communities
And this is in addition to being a multi-time All Star, Finals MVP and NBA Champion
He IS the smartest person in the room.
Defending NBA Champion🏆 @nyknicks Head Coach Mike Brown with a MASTERCLASS in progressive culture building and the importance of being a self aware leader:
🏯 The strongest cultures don't protect the leader from feedback. If people are afraid to challenge the leader, they'll let them make avoidable mistakes. Great leaders build rooms where disagreement isn't disrespect, it's a the expectation. The measure of a strong culture is how safe the subordinates feel telling their bosses the truth. Don't be afraid to be wrong. Be afraid of building an environment where nobody tells you when you are.
🐓 or🥚 The best way to GET ownership is to GIVE ownership away. Standards become sustainable when players hold each other accountable instead of relying on the coach to police every behavior. The goal isn't dependence on leadership. It's developing leaders who can sustain the standard without you. It starts with a mindset that is 100% in service of the players. Like the chicken or egg analogy, when they know you're committed to helping them succeed, they become committed to helping the team succeed. Leaders model what matters. The level of care you show people becomes the level of care they show the standard.
🤝 Collaboration produces commitment. Coach Brown had only 5 standards: Compete, Sacrifice, Connect, Trust, and hold everyone in the organization (including the head coach) Accountable. Ownership creates buy-in to those standards. That buy-in creates care. Care creates culture. And culture is what erases a talent or financial gap between the lines.
The moment the standard BELONGS to everyone, it no longer DEPENDS on anyone. 💯
