Jaylen Brown says players should be able to own equity in teams because they help increase the value of NBA franchises
“Players should be able to invest alongside ownership groups and business opportunities. I don't understand why that’s ever been a thing. It's like you’re an athlete and they make it seem like they can control how much wealth or growth that you could actually accumulate. I think that's wrong”
“I also think that any other major corporation, if you work for Apple, Nike or anywhere, if you're a CEO, if you're someone who has been on a board for a large amount of time, you get equity in a company at some point. You are part of it”
“I think athletes should be looked at in the same way. You played for the Celtics for 20 years, you should get a piece of equity because you helped accumulate the growth. That's the part that gets lost in translation. The sweat equity you put in. You get compensated for doing your job, but you don't get compensated for the growth. At major corporations and companies you do, or at least some of the big ones”
@Gargugi@JesseGladsaget This is why I continue to say do your research… Why was Kobe a Robin because he didnt win finals mvp … Lmao all while being first team all defensive… Ima say again go do your research
@Gargugi@abrahammzn@JesseGladsaget This is why i say do your research… Larry Bird had 2 back to back games in the finals with 8 points … Bird has 8 games in THE FINALS he scored less then 20 points … Smh no im not a fan boy i just know my history
@Gargugi@JesseGladsaget Bro you clearly dont watch the game … Its like arguing with a kid that look at stats and listen to the media … Have a good say sir … Go do your research and listen to wat all time greats (players and coaches) and stop listening to the media
@Gargugi@JesseGladsaget He’s a better basketball player … Kobe had no weakness… You say a player like Shaq but shaq would have to sit out the end of close games because he couldn’t shoot free throws. Wilt has the worst playoff and finals drop off ever … Lebron has the most air balled FTs ever
@Gargugi@abrahammzn@JesseGladsaget Bro this is wrong on so many levels… Kobe was a MUCH better defender… Better handles , better footwork, better post moves , more athletic, more clutch , much more aggressive, …Bro i can tell you clearly dont watch basketball… This is dumb
@Gargugi@JesseGladsaget Then you dont know ball … Its really not up for debate honestly… If you watched Kobe with your own eyes and sit here in say you’ve seen multiple players better then him either you don’t understand the game or your lying … I just can’t believe it
@Gargugi@JesseGladsaget Your a man that get his opinion from the media… In to 2026 your still basing your belief system off the media … Its sad but hey its your life kid … My advice, stop being a sheep, be your own man
