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”

This is why I’m the lawyer I am today. To work as a team with athletes. To empower them.

To build out a plan for wealth. Long term success. Come connect with me.

[_almostDoesntCOUNT @_jaundo]

We knew this when he accepted the gift.

That was dumb and an ultimate security failure. Idk any lawyers who would have thought that was a good idea.

[_almostDoesntCOUNT @_jaundo]

Max. He knows more about it than you. It’s ok bro.

[Smart With Money, CPA @swmplanningcpa]

People just hate to see Black people who are intellectual and confident. I agree with JB. Intelligence is relative. There are hood car mechanics that are way more intelligent when it comes to fixing vehicles, than 99% of people in the world.
Then there are people who graduated from the fanciest schools, and they know how to sound very smart, but they barely do any real work. However, they have a look of someone intelligent so people don’t mind them.
But if you’re a young black man, public enemy number one, people are intimidated when you’re academically intelligent, and they view you as a threat. Unless you’re super nerdy like Neil deGrasse Tyson. They will treat you with so much suspicion and be so quick to criticize you over petty things and things that they made up, to try to diminish you. They will be so eager to tear you down.
But just use your same intelligence to rise above them like an eagle rises above crows. And stop giving a crap if they think you’re arrogant or whatever. They’re always gonna think negatively about you regardless. Just know your own limitations and be humble enough not to go too far overall. But still be balanced that with confidence in who you are, and know your true power or lack there of in each situation. @FCHWPO I know you already know this and you probably deal with prejudice haters times 1 million.

[SaintBro @TitoB49020]

@oldfatdom If they're not bashing ja morant for being a thug. They're bashing brown for being "too smart". The media is just a racist machine

JB said the bar is low.

This is JB is talking about. The bar is low and we see it daily.

DAILY!!!!!

@UnderdogNBA Draymond Green: "There's not many guys that have a basketball IQ in the NBA. You're talking less than 60% of the NBA. Knowing the game of basketball in this league is like one of the biggest skills you can have because it separates you immediately."

Jaylen Brown on reports claiming he thinks he's the smartest person in the room:

"No offense to everybody in sports, but the bar is fuckin' low."

[_almostDoesntCOUNT @_jaundo]

But when Trump thinks he’s the smartest person in the room nobody cares. 😂😂

[Fullcourtpass @Fullcourtpass]

People in the NBA believe Jaylen Brown has a "disease" where he 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.”

Terrible. We are rewarding bad free throw shooting.

[Brett Siegel @BrettSiegelNBA]

The NBA will test the "one free-throw rule" at NBA Summer League this year:

Any foul that would typically result in one, two, or three free throws will instead result in a single free throw attempt.

That attempt will be worth the same total number of points as the free throws it replaces.

[_almostDoesntCOUNT @_jaundo]

So basically what I hear is that they want you and are ok with you being of low intelligence.

He very well may be the smartest person in the room. Critical thinking is an elite skill and some owners, their gm’s and scouts might be shaky in that area and they know it.
