Jaylen Brown:
“Sports is a mechanism of control. If people didn’t have sports they would be a lot more disappointed with their role in society. There would be a lot more anger or stress about the injustice of poverty and hunger. Sports is a way to channel our energy into something positive. Without sports who knows what half of these kids would be doing?”

'He didn't just play for Boston. He embraced communities like Dorchester, Roxbury, and Mattapan. He showed up at schools, basketball clinics, community events, and youth programs. He spoke about educational equity, invested in young people, and consistently used his platform to support Black youth in Boston. It reminded me of the kind of community connection that made Reggie Lewis so beloved here.'
