Jaylen Brown: “Flopping has ruined our league. Joel Embiid is one of the greatest players that has played basketball, but he flops. He knows it too.”
This shtick of complaining after every loss doesn’t look as good after bowing a 3-1 lead
For real. One of the best in the game rn, he doesn’t need to be throwing shade at some of the other bests
Beat his ass or shut up
Had massive respect for Ant when we beat them and he came out and just said SGA beat him he has to be better next time
For all of Ant’s brashness, he does usually do a pretty good job of both giving credit where it’s due and acknowledging when he’s not getting it done. I think Shai annoys him on the court sometimes but he knows how complete his game is.
It’s brash in both directions. Even if I disagree with everything you say. I can respect your consistency. A habitual line stepper. But you don’t hide the fact that was your intention from the start. Find a line and step it.
I never doubt that Ant truly means everything he says. He isn’t playing games or trying to be a public face, hes just himself. Often for worse but sometimes for better lol.
He’d be my favorite player if it wasn’t for some of the off the court stuff
Love that he still wears those bracelets the kid with cancer gave him (he beat cancer)
we’re in the same boat brodie i wish he was a better person since there’s a lot to like about him as a basketball player
Yeah, on the one hand, he isn’t wrong. On the other hand, when you say it after you blow a 3-1 lead you look like a bitch.
He isn’t wrong, but the message loses a bit of impact when Brown is also an egregious flopper.
Gets to his spot very well. Then jumps into his defender, gets a foul. He still hits those shots at a high clip but the flailing like he’s being fouled every time is just awful.
Brown was the biggest flopper in the series so he is kind of wrong
[removed]
Dunning Kruger to the max
he is a massive flopper and beneficiary of ref hijinks, so im confused as to why he thinks he’s the leader of Team Ethical
When you say it after blowing a 3-1 lead. After you yourself succumbed to the flopping dark arts this season. Jaylen should’ve texted Cade Cunningham and asked him to say this instead.
And stop flopping yourself while doing it.
Not even generational it’s just human nature to try to skirt responsibility when shit goes down
He’s genuinely moved us as a top 3 unlikable player in the league for me
For real. Dude is a pathetic pseudo-intellectual as well as a sore loser
Yeah like I don’t even mind this take in general. Just don’t say it specifically after a loss about the guy who beat you. Say it in the offseason or regular season about the league as a whole.
Just don’t say it when you’re foul baiting and pushing off defenders.
It’s just not even very relevant either Joel didn’t flop this series very much / at all.
True. But the league really needs to address flopping.
And trying to deflect all the blame onto JT in his postgame presser last night, to boot
Seriously, what is the deal with this guy? How can he not understand this is all making him look like a huge douche?
I literally watched him do the exact same thing yesterday on a number of occasions, is he serious?
Remember when Embiid “threw” him to the ground and Reggie was calling for a flagrant
Reggie was unbearable last night. Like I actually can’t stand him as a commentator which is sad because I loved him as a player. Really awful announcer though
I’m with you 100%
Love the player, but what a lame announcer he is
If you watch some of the older NBA long form TNT stuff, he does a really good job of explaining what it was like to be the number two shooting guard for most of Michael Jordan’s career
I’m sorry when was he the number 2 shooting guard ?? lol
I don’t think he was. He had a year or two he’d probably be there or close. But he loves himself in that silver medal position.
Early 90s #2 was Drexler indisputably, maybe Dumars at 3, but when they aged out you could comfortably have Reggie Miller at that spot until probably Iverson’s MVP year and Kobe’s rise.
When he doesn’t like your team, he’s the worst. Can’t stand him on a lakers call.
Reggie was an idiot for calling that a flagrant, but it also wasn’t a flop. JB stood on Embiids foot and tripped.
Then flopped goin down to try to get a call. That wasn’t natural lol
As a Celtics ride or die, that was infuriating to see. I have no idea how Embiid flagrantly fouled Brown. Someone who embellishes in the flops complaining about flopping? This is getting unbearable to watch.
He also threw Maxey into Embiid’s injured knees
LeBron: not you… anyone on your team, but not you
He flopped like a fish after grabbing Embiids jersey
I hate Joel Embiid. But even if Jaylen didn’t do any flopping and weren’t a complete hypocrite, this is just being a sore loser.
Flops for thee but not for me.
LMAO blowing a 3-1 lead and then crying to your Twitch chat the next day is so funny
so pathetic, no defending it
Dude is rich and wastes time arguing on twitch when that’s not his job.
It goes without saying.
Money can’t weed out the deep roots of insecurity
“Money just makes you more of who you are.”
He’s so fucking insufferable.
One of the first things I learned playing team sports as a kid was take responsibility, don’t blame others and certainly not the refs.
These are grown adults making 60 million/year. Like shut the fuck up and stop whining
I love when fans are real about their teams bullshit. Respect.
I honestly wasn’t that pressed about the loss because of how low my expectations were, our roster was never built to contend and our FO made that even clearer when their only deadline move was to duck the tax and take on an expiring contract in Vucevic. But Jaylen doing this now is so disappointing and just horrible energy for the team and franchise all-around. It is almost like he already has his eyes on leaving, and I’m now finally having the realization that G6 mightve been the last time we saw the Jay’s play together. And they were both ass.
Turn in your green footy pajamas now for being critical of a terrible playoff loss team.
Shooting 50 threes is totally winning basketball as we’ve seen the last two seasons.
Two early exits and they clearly need to add but it’s a philosophy problem for them.
He also got exposed for flopping yesterday against Embiid.
https://streamable.com/wjdxno
What the actual fuck? I need more angles of this shit!
you dont understand, the wind gets really strong on that section of court
They’re both floppers and it does ruin the league, along with Shai, Luka, Sengun, all the guys who do it. In the case of Embiid vs Jaylen here… it just seems to me they were having a flop off. If one team has a guy that does it, you need a guy on your team doing it too, at least one. The nba needs to fix this.
I can’t defend my boy on this one with all the shit he’s done and talked this year
Nah Embiid flopping is definitely the reason why they bricked like 6 straight 3s down the stretch
I know, I can’t believe Embiid made White chuck up 15 3s last night
Celts whittled the lead to within one then went ice cold
With dare I say some flopping and getting calls? It was a 12 point lead in the third quarter into the fourth quarter.
6? Think you mean 60.
So fucked up that Embiid’s flops caused Mazzulla to start 3 Dunkin’ Donuts employees
He’s right in principle but this is a terrible messenger lol let’s not play like they lost the series because of flops
He literally just said the refs need to be investigated from the past three games lol. Unhinged.
I mean, anyone paying attention knows this guy has been a conspiratorial idiot for a WHILE. This ain’t surprising
Kyrie/Kanye disciple but he gets lauded as a genius just because he went to college
Him and Aaron Rodgers are terrific proof that where you went to school has no correlation with intelligence. It does however show that where you go to school, long as you say your stupid, informed opinions in the right way, will cover up how stupid you are
I think it more shows that intelligence is divided into subsets. Like Ben Carson is the perfect example. Brilliant neuroscientist and surgeon. Absolute fucking moron. Jaylen Brown is objectively intelligent in many areas. Conspiracy theory/social intelligence doesn’t seem to be the strongest area, at all lol. We just think of intelligence as a general idea rather than a spectrum involving various areas. Not sure if I’m explaining this right but as a teacher (who also coaches our HS soccer team) it feels very true based on 13 years of experience and also just…..life 🤣
He’s the same dude that was in the costume cult - the black hebrew Israelites.
Especially ridiculous when Eric Lewis, who was accused of using a burner account and hiding his Celtics fandom, got to retire before he was investigated and now is back in the G-League.
He’s back reffing in the NBA lol
Idiot streamer says dumb thing on Twitch. More at 11
He’s a professional basketball player who controlled his own fate on the court lol
Sad how Tatum gets all the hate though
I for one always disliked Brown more. Tatum is corny but Brown generally seems to have the personality of a diva NFL WR
Yeah I think it was you guys missing 6 shots in a row in the final minutes of game 7, but maybe I’m wrong
Embiid’s performance in the playoffs has suffered as a result of foul baiting. The refs don’t reward it, so even when he’s fouled, his flopping means the refs don’t call it. See the end of game Horford foul on him, I believe game 1 of the 17-18 series.
He specifically stopped foul baiting so much these last 3 games and that’s one of the reasons he’s played so well. At least it’s symbolic. Working extra hard to finish through contact, working hard for rebounds
As a sixers fan I thought this Brown comment was doubly weird because Embiid really doesn’t seem to be foul baiting like he used to. Just playing old tapes. Sad loser stuff honestly.
He’s not. At all. You don’t get to say that the refs had an agenda and that’s why you got called for so many offensive fouls and Embiid is a flopper and imply that’s why you lost.
The Celtics shot like 20 more three pointers and shot the same number of free throws before garbage time.
Brown had some of the most egregious push offs that I’ve ever seen in this game not get called.
The Celtics had no answer for Embiid the whole game and shot their way out of the next round. Brown is just being an entitled crybaby and it’s sad to see.
He’s right about the flopping but he’s also absolutely egregious with the offensive push-offs so there’s definitely some throwing stones in glass houses going on here.
Some pots calling some kettles black you could even say
Pot calling the kettle brown
Maybe I’ve reached old man yelling at cloud status bc I think it’s ridiculous for a superstar to hop on a stream after blowing a 3-1 lead
Nah I saw his stream announcement and scoffed a bit, pretty tasteless move in my opinion. I know it’s our opinions versus a man who has unfathomable money & fame but respectable behavior is necessary at all levels
He needed that internet fellatio to feel better about himself.
Seriously. Sore loser energy
The audacity of this man is hilarious
For context on this quote, this is Jaylen Brown last night
Joel’s “wtf was that” face is fucking priceless
Using that Sydney Crosby tech
He was trying to buy free throws on every jumpshot in that fourth quarter
Does some sort of gymnastic move / yoga stretch on each middie. It’s hilarious
Yeah he needs to learn when to shut up
Guy is just asking for a personalized flopping compilation.
Dudes rubbing their hairlines on opposing players has ruined the league
And don’t get him started on that one-sleeve look, dorky as hell
Should’ve just got a head band that progressively moved up his head like elite balding ballers do (until they make their trip to Turkey).
He has to be trolling, there’s just no way
People have been eating his shit up all year because it was against SGA and they were winning. Now that they lost he looks like the clown he has been the entire time
Context is important, lol. Getting on stream and crying after losing to a seven seed that most thought was in a moribund state just makes you look like a bitch.
It also doesn’t help that he says this after a game where Embiid legitimately WAS fouled a ton of times because Queta has negative basketball IQ, and Garza might as well be a high schooler guarding Embiid.
It was also after a game where he literally shoves Maxey into Embiid’s knees
Wow moribund. What an excellent word choice
He is a bitch. Him laughing at Bronny during summer league said it all to me.
moribund is an exquisite word for describing some unfortunate sixers seasons
also he literally looks to draw a foul on 50 percent of his shots, he can’t talk
He was also flopping all over the place during that game he called SGA about.
Yeppp just the worst type of dude
People listen to him because he “attended” Harvard and hosted symposiums to foster discussion.
he’s been pushing this narrative of his intelligence since high school. I’ve never met a really smart person that had to tell me they were smart
To your point, research has shown that those that believe they are smart tend to be less intelligent. Smart people generally are cognizant enough to know they aren’t as smart as they think.
The Dunning-Kruger Effect
Remember when he said teams were hesitant to draft him because he was “too smart” lol
He doesn’t strike me as a very intelligent guy
Great player obviosuly, but he’s not a fucking Rhodes scholar lol
RIP to the well spoken x classy intellectual gimmick🤧
But he was a guest lecturer at Harvard!
So fucking what
He’s anti-vax and famously claimed “ignorance” about the fucking weirdo Black Israelites shit
The guy is not intelligent. I don’t give a fuck if Harvard hired him as a guest lecturer. That was entirely based on his influence, not necessarily his intelligence
Dude was being sarcastic
bUT hE wENt tO BeRKleY
The only class he attended was was PE
You can tell he’s the type to think he’s the smartest guy in the room. He fits in well with the arrogance of the Celtics as a whole.
He and Kyrie are shining examples of the Dunning-Kruger effect. They definitely think they are intellectually superior to those around them. Like wouldn’t be surprised if Jaylen Brown thinks he could actually hack in in ivy league academia because he played basketball at Berkeley and spoke at Harvard once.
What do you mean? He spoke at Harvard. They wouldn’t let dumb people lecture them would they?
Like you have to be self aware. Joel flops, SGA flops but so do you brown. And as a Knicks fan, ya Brunson flops too. And we (clyde) will point that out too.
No, he really is that pretentious.
I should know, I’m from Boston.
Done with this version of the Celtics
This dude has never lost gracefully in his life.
He also has won* though. (Jimmy Butler, Donovan Mitchell, Haliburton missed the entire series + Luka was on one leg)
So Jokic’s ring has an asterisk if that’s what we’re doing
I don’t watch much celtics, but doesn’t brown also flop?
Yes. But he far more frequently uses his off arm to create space. I’m relieved as a fan to see that people now recognize this as a push off.
Almost all scores use their off arm to create space, but Brown does it to an egregious extent sometimes
I saw an nba commercial the other day and they highlighted one play. Most obvious push off ever by Sga. The league loves it lol
Tatum is egregious with it as well. Someone on the Celtics coaching staff probably figured out that refs generally don’t call push offs and taught them how to use it effectively.
That ANDDDD HE FUCKIN FLOPS
Explain this Cs fans: https://streamable.com/wjdxno
He had an insane one where he fouled Embiid and flopped to the ground like he got hit with a Kamehameha
Joel Embiid: “Bitching has ruined our league. Jaylen Brown is one of the players that has played basketball, but he bitches. He knows it too.”
He is for SURE one of the players that has played basketball
“Stiff arming and push offs have ruined our league.”
This is like when Sengun complained about soft ass calls lol
I’ve never seen a player put in his place like that when Bron lectured the hell out of him
“Nah, not you. Anybody else on the roster but not YOU”
Throwing rocks from a glass house
Throwing himself into glass windows, and expecting gravity to gently carry him to the ground
And looking to the refs for a call
we really live in a world where Basketball superstars cry to twitch chat after losses
Jayson Tatum please come back full strength next season bro 😭🙏 This man’s ego needs a check, JT heading the Celtics was better than whatever the hell this dude yaps about
Dude is out of control. Thinks he is the face of the league and ethical hoops or something. Sounds like a baby
“MVP” but can’t beat the Sixers up 3-1
yeah tatum is corny but his isn’t nearly such a weak ass bitch
Jayson Tatum not playing Game 7, was not an excuse for why they lost, it was merely an excuse for Tatum to justifiably smack some sense into Brown in the locker room from this point forward 😅
If Jaylen Brown was as good as he all wants us to think he is he would have won without Tatum in Game 7. Or, you know, he could have played like an MVP caliber player in the previous 2 games when he actually had Tatum’s help and not blew the 3-1 lead to begin with lol. Brown shot 45% from the field for the series, didn’t even crack 20 in Game 6.
He’s definitely a tier below MVP level.
Tatum’s worst offense is that he’s corny and not that charismatic. He seems like a great dude otherwise. The same cannot be said for Jaylen Brown. He’s a guy of average intelligence who thinks he’s a genius, and he’s also a hypocrite. I don’t think he’s a bad guy or anything, but he’s annnoying as hell.
Unbelievable that he says this while flopping all playoffs.
This shit is exhausting. Every star in the NBA does some sort of “unethical” shit. SGA hunts fouls, Jaylen Brown pushes off, even Ant yells “AYYYYEE” all the time. Can we just play the fucking games and stop whining all the goddamn time
SGA also pushes off
The fact that THATS what you’re taking away from this is just perfect lol
What a fucking idiot lol
What a hypocritical weak ass bitch.
Shit is funny cause from a neutral perspective Boston was getting a way better whistle the entire game 7
Maxey gets no whistle. I think as sixers fans we’ve just accepted it and have moved on
He is desperately trying to convince the chat that what he does is “drawing a foul” which is ethical and part of the game while what the Sixers do is “flopping” and “foul baiting” which are very unethical and the refs have an agenda against him
He’s literally doing the opposing castles meme in real time lmao, and the chat is not buying it.
Cracks me up when teams that jack threes all game bitch about fouls. Get your stupid ass in the fucking paint or shut up.
Can this guy shut the fuck up?
I’d like to see what it would look like if Embiid (or any strong big) had the privilege Brown has of stiff arming people Derrick Henry style while driving to the basket
Imagine prime Bron stiff arming dudes, my goodness he’d never lose
Forearm push offs that are never called (both Jays) have also ruined the league
Grok is this real?
Chat am I cooked?
I’m sorry but straight up fuck this dude. Say whatever you want about Embiid, but the Celtics have owned the Sixers in the playoffs during his entire tenure and Embiid has said nothing to discredit the guys on the other team.
The Celtics finally lose one series and you got this dumbass Brown talking about foul baiting and ethical hooping like a fucking redditor in a game he flopped like a fish and hand checked Maxey into Embiid’s knees. Also foul baiting doesn’t really contribute to him and Derrick white turning into the brick squad down the stretch. If you needed anymore evidence that going to Harvard is not a sign of intelligence you got it right here.
Dude is so salty lol
Why flop when you can push off with forearm and elbow multiple times a drive
You know how much more I’m going to enjoy basketball season when I don’t have to watch this guy play for my team any more?
This fella plays like derek henry every possession and has the audacity to say this.
Losing a 3-1 lead and you still on this bull shit 24 hours later.
Bro acts like he’s taking a principled stand when he’s really just being a sore loser. We all know flopping is eroding the integrity of the league, but no way in hell would JB be saying anything about it if he’d won that series. Better luck next year, bozo.
guy whose only move is driving his elbow into dudes groins for a middie fadeaway: fuckin hate floppers bro
Bro has literally never seen his own film
Et tu Floppy?
Marker head has ruined the league, too. Jerseys, specifically
Am I the only one who watches basketball and doesn’t bitch the whole game? I literally just watch the games then go on about my day.
Hey guys, check out this weirdo right here, he doesn’t bitch when watching basketball!
Fuck it, I will bring this up with grams and she what she has to say.
What about hero ball and pushing off every time you have the ball?
he’s such a baby lol
I really don’t like this clown. Good player but has a gifted whistle that can’t even acknowledge it. I hope his dumb ass gets traded to like Utah or something
JB has to be one of the biggest hypocrites in the entire league.
Is Jaylen Brown ever not yapping? Dudes a top tier foul baiter himself. If you live in a glass house shut the fuck up.
The lack of self awareness is astonishing lol
the fact that he was laughing and chopping it up with Embiid on the court after the game and has gone on to say the shit he has after shows his character.
Didn’t JB advise Scottie Barnes to flop more at some point this year?
Shooting 60 3’s a game isn’t helping the league either JB
Someone send this sad ass a box of shoe polish to make his hairline happy.
It’s not on the players to not flop. It’s on the league to tell the refs what to call. The refs aren’t dumb. They are told to ref this way.
Taking the L hard.
He’s not wrong but he’s part of the problem.
This coming from Brown is especially hilarious.
The same Jaylen Brown who’s 7th in total free throws and 8th in free throw attempts per game? That Jaylen Brown?
Glasshouses and what not.
Jaylen Brown is himself a foul baiter who uses his off arm to shove defenders. Just shut the fuck up guy.
