Tracy McGrady, mentor to Jaylen Brown, says that Jaylen is “frustrated” with the Celtics organization
Idk what more he wants.
He wants to be the #1 option.
He was and we were better when he was on the bench.
Shhh! The Bucks may see this! JB has been awesome haha, totally worth swapping Giannis for!
I mean the way it’s gone JB would be a boon for Giannis.
Unironically though it would also be a boon for the Bucks. I don’t know what other teams are open to trading their top 12 NBA player for Giannis.
Jakob Poeltl is a top 12 NBA player by height. Size like that would be amazing for the Bucks!
Makes sense to me.
Oh I agree. JB would be a massive W for Milwaukee. JB gets to be #1, Bucks aren’t fully cooked, Boston upgrades, really a win for everyone.
Id rather us have a 15 win season and bring back our strong meme culture than have to cheer for this dude.
Amen. Also I think Giannis in a Celtics jersey might kill me.
At least the colors wouldn’t be that different
Well then y’all can have 2 bucks champions become Celtics champions. Which I guess would be neat?
As a hawks fan we would love for yall to have a 15 win season next year.
You want a 15 win season the first year that the worst 3 teams in the league have a reduced shot at a top pick?
Idc. I’m watching Kuzma dance into the Jennifer Hudson show. We’re not adding chess master space man to this.
I would rather the team be dissolved than trade Giannis for Jaylen Brown
Yeah, just demo Fiserv and turn it into a landfill or something then.
Might as well just sell the whole state to Michigan and expand the upper peninsula down through Kenosha
He’s just not good enough to be number 1 and win in the playoffs. The JT slander has to stop.
Yeah man and also Derrick White is an MVP level player. We all saw how impactful he is in the playoffs. Not buying this shit.
I am happy to be a Celtics hater but these stats are really misleading. Jaylen sits when the other team’s best players also sit. It’s a reflection of the Celtics “worst” line ups being better than their opponents’ equivalent line ups by a healthy margin.
You can play with on/off stats to the point where you can have a pretty good idea what lineups work and what lineups don’t work. For years, the Celtics have consistently had better lineups with Tatum + bench guys compared to Jaylen + bench guys.
It’s not just as simple as looking at the box score, adding up the +/- after each game, and making a declaration based off of it.
For years, the Celtics have consistently had better lineups with Tatum + bench guys compared to Jaylen + bench guys.
Oh to be clear, I am not at all saying that JB is better than Tatum. Just that the idea that the Celtics are better without Jaylen on the floor outright is silly. The implication people make is that JB is a net negative and that’s obviously not true.
Ok but this has happened for like 5-6 years now and it’s only really stopped in the one year where Ime told him that Marcus smart or Tatum is initiating the offense.
lol so you think Boston is better without JB? That’s what it seems like your implying
+/- jerkers are so fucking annoying. But that said, I’m down to trade Brown for Giannis if it’s possible at all, this core of the Jays is never winning a title again, it’s Joever
What would a Giannis trade even look like? Celtics can’t outright trade ‘30 FRP, the maximum draft capital they could give is 2 picks and 2 swaps. Is JB, Hugo Gonzalez, 2 picks and 2 swaps enough to get it done? I don’t think Bucks take that offer, they want to get younger and JB is turning 30, doesn’t fit their timeline.
They could try to flip JB to Portland in a 3 team deal to get their own picks back. If Portland wants JB then it could be possible but I don’t think he fits in their scheme. They don’t need another drive-first ball dominant option
The most common thing I’ve seen is a three teamer involving the Hawks.
Jaylen to Atlanta, Giannis to Boston, then Boston/Atlanta throw young players / picks to Milwaukee.
I hope the Celtics trade him — and he quickly shows that he’s not #1 option material without an elite team, coaching staff, etc. around him.
This dude’s ego (+complainer mentality) is absolutely out of control.
If all his obnoxious comments this season are how he acts publicly, I can’t imagine dealing with him in private.
Tatum has 100x more leadership, humility, etc. in one finger than Brown has in total.
And Tatum has been taking these passive aggressive shots from JB his whole career. But Tatum doesn’t say a word about it because he’s mature, professional, and unselfish.
Nah for real. I feel for Tatum bc it sucks to have a costar who takes digs at you; who you can’t even trust to uplift you. Brown is a snakey guy too in addition to all the ego.
I’m salty he got the Iggy-coded FMVP over Jayson
Brown is the jealous little brother. Always will be with Tatum
And it’s crazy cause he’s older than Tatum too so you’d think he’d be more mature.
I think for Jaylen there’s always been a slight because coming out of college he was looked at as the raw but athletic prospect that took longer to develop into an all star then all nba level player
Whereas Tatum came in more polished and became an all star and all nba player by year 3 . He became the #1 option while ppl were still questioning Ainge for extending Brown. Then Tatum starts having big playoff moments and getting into top 5 talks while JB is seen more as a top 15-20 player prior to this season
Tatum can be a little lame or whatever but he’s literally the closest our generation has had to a Tim Duncan. That’s why he’s always content to play center, do dirty work, defer to Brown when he shouldn’t, all of the stuff that a lot of superstars would chafe against because he wants to win.
Brown is the lame one. He’s egomaniac, does stupid shit on streams and has peddled a fair share of conspiracy theories now. Only children or immature adults think he’s cool bc of “aura” and/or stupid pseudo intellectualism
My favorite was his whole Mayans invented basketball and Naismith stole the idea. Then misspelled “Neismith” to boot.
Dude is so far up his own ass
Boston fans/media have been really easy on Jaylen. Dude couldn’t throw an accurate chest pass his first couple years. He’s always been very vapid
He was the number 1 option this season and averaged 29 pts and his team finished number 2 in the conference. I get he’s persona non grata for complaining after getting bounced by Philly but to say he can’t be a number 1 option after this year is pretty goofy
Seems like a perfect fit for the…Sacramento Kings
He doesn’t have the ball skills or ability to create for others necessary for that. He is fantastic at creating his own shot, making difficult shots, and so many other things. But he is not a good #1 option. I really wish Jaylen could embrace the Aaron Gordon+++ role.
If I thought I was good enough to be the #1, won a championship and was the finals MVP, then dragged a bunch of scrub bigs to 56 wins “in a gap year” and was bounced in the first round primarily because those scrub bigs were exposed in the playoffs … I wouldn’t accept being compared to Aaron Gordon no matter how many +s were added.
Literally
The problem here is that those “bunch of scrub bigs” can be viable players in the regular season.
Besides, Queta is definitely not a scrub. Him struggling against Embiid just punishes him for no reason.
Celtics’ whole season story relied more on their deep team instead of Brown going supernova, and a lot of Celtic fans realize that. This wasn’t a carry job by Jaylen.
Celtics just sucked, got in foul trouble, and didn’t make their shots in their series. The team as a whole was ass that series. People love trying to find fault in individuals.
Edit: besides game 4
From the outside looking in, I kinda get why he’s upset. Aaron Gordon comps to Jaylen Brown are insane even if you add the +++ to it. He’s clearly a much more complete player than Aaron Gordon, who is not dragging that Celtics line up to the playoffs let alone the #2 seed.
I think the Celtics coaching staff actually do use him well, but from a fan perspective I do think that Celtics fans often overhype Tatum and diminish JB.
We don’t another Kyrie Irving here. Ship him to Brooklyn.
He was this year
Which is why this was his “favorite” season ever. Not the season where he won a championship and Finals MVP. But the embarrassing first round exit where he got to be “the man” all year
Dude’s a black Israelite Kyrie stan fucking idiot. And he’s also a scrub.
Melo brain
He’s frustrated that they nursed Tatum back to full health
watch him get traded to the wizards
For real, Boston has given him just about everything a player of his caliber could possibly want, and he’s frustrated?
Is he frustrated he’s being held accountable for not being the player he thinks he is?
Kinda scares me because Boston with a true superstar guy like Giannis or someone in place of Brown is massively better imo.
He comes off as very very self-absorbed so I think the answer to the second question might actually be yes?
Wasn’t Brown to Atlanta a matter of speculation some years back?
They offered him for AD when he was in NOLA, but AD said he wasn’t going to sign an extension with Boston if they traded for him
I remember that too, I think it was that Jaylen is from the Atlanta area and went back there for a lot of BLM activism. Kinda like how KD to Washington always seemed to come up even when it made no sense. Brown to Atlanta now would be pretty interesting though
I understand that he is disappointed with a lackluster franchise like the Celtics he should go to a properly well run one like the Wizard or the Kings
This made me wonder if we should give Anthony Davis more credit for being deeply committed to being a good team’s #2 and absolutely hating being forced to do hard things.
Man of the people
He’s Kobe stuck behind Shaq. He wants glory.
Same as Kyrie did.
Agreed. The weird thing is that he won the FMVP though. You’d think that would have given him that glory and showed he’s not ‘stuck’ behind Tatum. Idk.
Yea he won FMVP but still nobody talks about him as if he’s the Celtics’ top guy, that’s always been Tatum. He’s still viewed as the 2 or 1B there.
honestly i wonder if that’s almost worse from his perspective. he won FMVP over Tatum, is tracking to have around as good an MVP finish as Tatum has ever managed this season, will scoring nearly 29 ppg, a number Tatum has only surpassed once, all while leading the team to a top seed despite a massive drop in talent.
and despite all of that the consensus is he’s not the same caliber of player. don’t get me wrong, I think the consensus is correct, but I can see how from his perspective he’s not getting a level of respect he feels he’s earned. trouble is he doesn’t seem to have the understanding that everything he’s done over the last few days only feeds into folks thinking less of him.
And dont forget the infamous 24’ Olympic run that he felt was robbed from. (Which understandable after winning a ring and D.W. getting picked before him) he still holds on to these grudges. Klay always accepted he wasn’t Steph, even Draymond understood they are a team that works around Steph. Weird that Brown cant acknowledge that he does have value in his role and isn’t just a bench player but still a key piece to their squad.
That’s kind of the thing
He was Larry Bird’s ECFMVP and FMVP so he probably feels he deserves more because of that. For all the successful runs Boston had, Jaylen was voted the best player for their most successful run
It’s a high level Kyrie/Kobe situation brewing…or maybe it’s something else within the Boston organization we don’t know about. Who knows really
Ironically Jaylen always reminded me of Kyrie pre-Dallas so we will find out eventually. Somebody like Jaylen won’t keep his mouth shut forever, he’ll say/do something eventually that will put Boston’s back against the wall
Kobe if his team was better every year when he was on the bench.
For real lol
Except hes not Kobe
No shit lol
He wants to be the man on his own team. He already has a ring.
I hope he gets what he wants
Decent odds that if he gets what he wants, it’ll be for your team in a Giannis trade.
we know what he doesn’t want which is to hit the open man.
Imagine being sick of the CELTICS. Objectively one of the most successful franchises in all sports. They should trade him to the Kings or Hornets or some other irrelevant team.
Could be upset with some of Joes decisions, could be wanting to be a number 1 option, could be that contract extension talks aren’t going how he wants, could be anything
We don’t know, but he definitely seems upset about something
I dont think a trade is coming yet the noise isnt nothing if that makes sense.
Yea, he’s been upset with the team before, but he’s still here. He’s been upset with his role in the past and trade rumors, but he’s still here.
So yea noise ain’t nothing, but trade may not be coming
I think the organization is frustrated that he just lost to the appendectomy Sixers lmao.
If they really are, they get to sell high off his big season.
Get ready to learn Milwaukee buddy
Giannis on the Celtics would be GGs
Wanna solve the Celtics spamming stepback threes every postseason? get a dude who won a championship by being a long boi who demolished the rim for an entire playoffs
Giannis would cry when he see how much spacing Boston has
The amount of three point shooters he’d be able to kick the ball out to after driving to the rim would be obscene
Yup. Giannis would be an amazing fit in Boston.
I would hate that timeline
Tatum Giannis inside out PnR would be so crazy . Then you got Derrick white sliding back to his natural spot as a #3 option.
Health would be the main factor but I wouldn’t mind being conservative in the regular season and take lower seeding for full health in the playoffs
Please no.
My guess would be Houston tbh.
They’ve got plenty of assets, there’s the Ime connection, and playoff disappointment and guys aging out fuels urgency to make a move.
Jaylen will be learning Portland in that scenario so Milwaukee can get their picks back.
But they brought Tatum back so he’s the scapegoat
Only in Jaylen browns head
Tatum didn’t play Game 7
I don’t know who started this “Jaylen Brown is too smart” thing back then. But every year he looks dumber and more obnoxious.
Its the people who buy his and kyries shtick of being pseudo intellects that are wiser than everyone else and “real”. Id put Terrance howard there too, easy to sound smart when people dont push back on what you say
Completely agree but will say Terrance Howard has taken it to a completely different level that is closer to mental illness.
Ahh you must be one of those “mathematicians” who believe he’s full of horseshit, whatever dude. You’re just mad you didn’t make new maths.
smh, he probably doesn’t even know how to reduce prices by 600%
Or you ensure your audience are mostly always people who simply won’t know better in the first place.
Or people who will agree with anything you say, no matter how crazy, because they’re a fan or because you’re their meal ticket. I admittedly don’t watch his stream, so maybe this is some sort of in-joke I’m not getting, but in the clips I’ve seen the people he surrounds himself with look absurd just nodding along with everything he says.
My favourite excerpt from his Wikipedia article is “Brown was criticized by some as “too smart” to play in the NBA, with some scouts worrying that he would grow tired of playing basketball and instead opt to pursue other career paths.” and then you open the article where that is supposedly from and that’s not what it says at all.
lol oh my god I just looked at it, his whole “Personal Life” section is super corny and obviously written by him or an employee of his
Brown is primarily a vegetarian and his interests include Spanish language, history, meditation, philosophy, playing instruments, and anime.[125][126][127] Many have described Brown as an unusual athlete with many ambitions beyond basketball.[128] Brown, who is African-American, assembled a primarily African-American advisory team prior to the NBA draft, but he did not hire an agent.[15] Brown was criticized by some as “too smart” to play in the NBA, with some scouts worrying that he would grow tired of playing basketball and instead opt to pursue other career paths.[15]
I love the line about putting together an advisory team of “primarily” African Americans. Like…ok? Is that noteworthy?
“primarily a vegetarian”….so like anyone with a balanced diet
Being primarily vegetarian is called not being a vegetarian, lol. He wants to get the positive association of being vegetarian without actually committing to it. This use of language is devious. Indicates deception.
Imagine getting your friends and family together and calling it an Advisory Team
All those dudes in the sunglasses from his livestream must have been his advisory team.
God that was like a fever dream why aren’t we talking about JB’s livestream more.
Because the more you listen to JB, the more you don’t want to talk about him
Jesus Christ this guy is so annoying
Holy shit lol this is incredible
hey a bit of respect please… he gives lectures at MIT and NASA 😂
And Harvard !
But so did Kim K lmao
Nasa and MIT peeps probably just want him there to laugh at something 💀
The “Jaylen Brown is smart” narrative was completely driven by JB himself. He’s a fake intellectual and follows a lot of weird manosphere content.
Hey, let’s not forget the weird antisemitism content either
He was on Kanye’s company during Ye’s peak Nazi crashout and when Jaylen reeeeally dragged his feet on leaving Kanye’s brand.
“Energy” was wild too before he walked it back.
when someone shows you who they are believe them.
Dude is a racist POS who thinks every bullshit crazy thing he says is 100% the truth and if you disagree with him you’re the racist POS.
Dude is only every sorry that he has to pretend to take back what he says when the whiplash is to much and his agents start yelling at him.
This meltdown is the best thing to happen this nba season just so people can stop sucking off this kyrie wannabe.
The funniest part is that the “too smart” comment was almost certainly a subtle way of saying “he’s arrogant and a smart ass”.
One member of an organization said “he’s smart” and another replied “yeah maybe too smart”.
That’s how I’ve heard it told, and in that context it really doesn’t seem like a compliment lol.
The second he started parroting antivax bullshit I knew he was dumb as bricks.
There was a picture of him playing chess that they’d always use to be like “he’s a genius” but he was down like 13 pieces of material to a child lol
He went to Cal and joined the chess club first semester! (Was drafted after the second semester)
Google “Jaylen Brown Chess ELO” and ignore the AI overview
Jaylen Brown Chess ELO
Oh boy, all the pictures of him playing chess are against either kids or other sports personalities (Manny Pacquiao) and in both cases he was way behind and in positions which imply he barely knows how the figures move.
Then I went on to try to find any evidence of him actually being multi lingual.
The claims are that he is self thought in Spanish and Arabic, I couldn’t find a video of him speaking Spanish at all, as far as Arabic goes, he said 3 phrases in the Abu Dhabi game, no sentences at all, despite claiming he’s been learning it since 2018, so, I have my doubts.
As to Spanish, I found this, which is hilarious
https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1Dydif46f7/?mibextid=wwXIfr
All I can hear him saying is “mucho Gusto…A veces…Entiendo español, hablo español. Estudio al university de Berkeley”
So I would say he has a elementary school level of Spanish which is…not really speaking it
He comes from the Kyrie School of Intellectuals
I think he started it lol. I have a diehard Celtics fan friend and he always brings up how Brown’s one of the most intelligent players off the court.
That shit always made me roll my eyes. You could tell it went to his head too lol
Jaylen Brown
Hes a “question everything” pseudo intellectual
He only looks smart to idiots of which are a large portion of his fanbase
but but but he had a NASA internship! 😂
He said one really self aware thing about basketball and all of sports being a distraction from real life events and a tool as such and everything after that has been dumb.
Frustrated with the Celtics? Dude needs to spend a winter in Sacramento and get some perspective.
He did say this was the best season of his career after getting bounced by Mr Glass after going 3-1.
So he probably would prefer being the first option, scoring 30 on shit efficiency but losing more games.
I love T-Mac but maybe JB need a new mentor if he thinks that
Hey T-Mac is a great mentor if you prefer being the first option on a team, scoring 30 ppg and getting eliminated in the first round.
Sounds like the perfect mentor lmao, he’s describing T Mac’s career
Imagine getting a Pippen career and complaining you’re not having a Tmac one
Feel like that quote was overblown. Could easily mean that they overachieved despite loss of Tatum and other key players. Yes they crashed and burned spectacularly at the end, and that’s what most will focus on, but you have to consider what they did during the regular season
But you also have to consider the end, no? Like warriors players are on record saying 73-9 meant nothing cause they didnt win in the end but JB’s “favorite” season is the one where he led a 3-1 choke because he got go be the number 1 for a season? Not the one where he won a title and won fucking finals mvp as the #2?
From everything hes said its clear where his priorities lie
U know u done fucked up when a Laker be praising Boston 😂😂😂
Because facts are facts. Man has it *super* good in Boston. Won a ring *and* Finals MVP, has one of the absolute best front offices in the sport that does everything right, and plays along a strong running mate that makes them one of the best teams in the league, yet you’re still not happy? Dude needs to go play for the Bulls or Kings for a few years to get some perspective.
Not to mention, his running mate has an all time low ego and is willing to just play ball no bullshit. Not sure how much more brown wants
Tbh I just think Brown surrounds himself with all the wrong people off the court. Between his highly regarded pseudo-intellectualism, the conspiracy-laden rants he’s been going on lately, and now not being happy in his organization? Something tells me there are people chirping in his ear and he’s soaking it in without issue.
I don’t think Tatum has an all time low ego, it’s only really been tested once at the Olympics and he clearly absolutely hated that shit. I don’t mean to say he’s an egomaniac, I am just skeptical he’s some super humble guy who would handle it perfectly if the shoe was on the other foot.
As much as it pains me to say, the Celtics aren’t a poorly run organization. Believe me, I wish they were. You think I like liking Joe Manzzulla?
They can’t stop fetishizing “player unhappiness”.
90% of NBA coverage is “he’s unhappy.”
JB got drafted onto a good team, won a title, got maxed out, and has never had a bad roster.
What the fuck else could somebody possibly want or expect?
I think it’s ego - brother want’s to be the man on his own team and win the chip. He probably thinks he can do it, but who knows, odds are the Celtics will get ahead of this and defuse the situation before it becomes awkward.
Get ready to speak Northern Californianese again buddy
After he leaves the Celtics, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him have a similar career arc to KD, bouncing around teams every couple years.
He seems like a serial malcontent.
Hes been on the Celtics for close to a decade as the number 2 with basically no drama. Not sure how that resonates serial malcontent.
no drama?
Because after 10 years of being number 2 he’s finally got a taste of being number 1.
dude won a chip and finals mvp, and calls this season that was looked as a mulligan year going into it is his favorite year of his career.
dude is a member of one of the most well run teams in all of fucking sports right now, with a really good team with another superstar playing next to him who has a personalty of tim duncan instead of tracy mcgrady, and its not enough for him anymore because everyone knows that team is jayson tatum’s and not his no matter how good(in his head) he does.
Yeah nobody called KD drama queen before he became one. He was considered model NBA star when he was with the Thunder
Why is T-Mac his mentor??!!??
Welcome to “How to get bounced in the 1st round 101”
Put some respect to “played in the finals” tmac
Jaylen has mentioned that earlier is his career he reached out to T-Mac and T-Mac convinced him to not request a trade, and told him that he and JT are a good duo. Not sure if mentor is the correct word but T-Mac and him are close.
Yeah I mean tmac probably regrets leaving Toronto. Him and Carter would have been insane.
Jaylen modeled his game after him and wore his shoes.
Why not? T Mac was one of the best.
I genuinely can’t figure out what he could possibly be frustrated by lol
He’s probably pissed that Tatum came back early and messed up the chemistry. Then Tatum sat out in the crucial Game7. So JB has to shoulder all of the blame while GoldenBoy gets to shirk responsibility once again.
Note that this is not what I think, but could be along the lines of how JB is thinking.
Aside from the first round, which is a massive aside granted, I don’t get the Tatum messed up the chemistry narrative. The Celtics were 15-5 since Tatum returned and everyone was saying they were title contenders in March/April. It’s not like everyone saw them teetering until around halftime of game 6 when it was obvious it was going to go 7 games. Malcontent behavior just popped up again almost as soon as the final buzzer sounded on game 7. Damn near literally since his livestream happened less than 24 hours after the game.
The real mess up to the chemistry was Joe instantly going to shortened playoff rotation with increased minutes to the starters including post Achilles Tatum and struggling Derrick white.
If Joe played guys like Walsh, Scheierman, and Gonzales more while playing Tatum less, along with a little less Derrick and a little more Pritchard, Celtics win the series before it gets to 7 games
Yeah, he needed to add to the rotation a game and half earlier than he did. I felt horrible for the Bus 1 boys getting thrown out there cold and looking it (except for Hugo, who was pretty great) cause that’s what casual fans are going to remember about their seasons.
Mazzulla gets vast majority of the blame for that series loss. I have no clue why he shortened the rotation when he’d be running a 10-11 man rotation all season long. Especially with DWhite being as bad as he was for 6/7ths (ugh lol) of the series.
I thought Brown was pretty good in game 7, if we’re being honest. No one knew the Sixers were going to be that good in the last three games of that series. At the end of the day, Mazzulla could have coached better, everyone could’ve played better, and the Celtics still might’ve lost. Credit to Philly where it is due.
I think you’ve nailed it completely.
And note folks already pointing out Brown not getting it done without Tatum, though both were there to build and lose the 3-1 lead.
Brown leads the team to the 2-seed, Tatum comes back early and secures it but is playing with house money.
Fans crown Boston the automatic East champs… they go out in the first round.
Idk how Tatum doesn’t tell brown himself that he wasn’t playing in game 7. I feel like two superstar teammates are supposed to be tight and have that dialogue given that they’ve been on the same team for almost 10 years. If we both been in the fire together, I shouldn’t have to hear from the team that you’re not playing in the most important game of the season
I mean they never seemed like friends. It’s kinda like Ronaldo and Benzema where they played for almost a decade but were never really close or anything. It’s not that crazy or surprising, especially when Tatum also has a kid
Bro is 100% getting traded for Giannis.
I’d rather have a shitload of draft picks if I’m Milwaukee, Brown doesn’t fit into a rebuilt at all
There’s a pretty clear path to a three way deal where Atlanta gets brown and Milwaukee gets a bunch of picks from Atlanta. I believe kuminga, rissacher, and kispert add up to brown’s salary. Not the worst return for Milwaukee
That makes more sense. If I’m Atlanta though I’m keeping that Pels pick at all costs. If they could get brown without having to deal that pick it’s a no brainer for them
Agreed Atlanta is more than a JB away.
It’s going to be blazers for brown. We have young players plus control of their picks.
Boston needs to find a team that targets players who have negative on-off numbers. I think these could be possible targets:
Unclear:
I remember last offseason Zack said that a few teams value Jaylen Brown very highly and most teams value him less than Derek White.
That different side of you resulted in a blown 3-1 lead in the First Round lol
But he had more fun that’s all that matters
They gave him the Supermax. He‘s been competitive every season of his career. I mean … stop it
Honestly what more is there besides a Supermax, a ring, and finals MVP?
He’s never winning regular season MVP as long as one of Wemby, Shai, Jokic, Luka, Giannis play 65 games. Unless he’s truly that delusional and thinks he’s in that tier of player.
This part of the NBA is so dumb.
Guy gets paid 60 million a year. His team wins as much as any team in the league. He plays huge minutes, puts up huge stats, gets a ton of recognition for his abilities.
And that’s not enough.
I’m sure this happens in other sports, but the “he wants his own team” is bullshit that happens so often in the NBA. Everything is so image-based and diva. It’s pathetic.
So why is he frustrated? McGrady said everything except why lol. Are the Celtics supposed to pay Brown?
If this is actually coming from Brown’s camp/Brown himself, its just a vague “unhappy” sentiment to open the door for trade. Honestly, it helps both him and Boston if a trade happens. Boston’s not the bad guy when they trade a guy that is rumored to want out, and Brown’s not the bad guy for only saying he’s frustrated after a first round exit.
Oh Brown is very much the bad guy lol
Tmac putting poison in his ears same way Kobe put in Kyrie ears Jaylen is gonna leave a good situation just to continuously get a green light
Youre taking away a grown man’s decision making with this mindset. Brown can just want this and is using tmac as a way to keep his hands clean
In a strange twist of fate, Jason Tatum is becoming more and more likable by nba fans worldwide.
This years regular season success might be the worst thing that happens to this version of the Celtics. Jaylen got a taste of the first option life and doesn’t want to let it go. Likely the Celtics still get something really good back for him, so maybe it’s a good thing?
Tmac being a mentor is kind of hilarious not gonna lie
I fully understand Jaylen. Imagine going from Jrue, Kristap, Horford to playing in game 7 deciding game with starting line up of Garza, Harper Jr and Scheiermen who combined for 0 points. I’d be frustrated too
AJ Brown hand shake Jaylen Brown
Creating friction with there teams in the offseason.
You were the #1 option for like 70% of the season and had a career defining season and THEN you decided to shit all over that good will by being a whiny bitch on twitch if you want out then fine GET THE FUCK OUT
Yeah idk if I believe anything Tmac says
I think he’s pretty connected to JB
He showed so much leadership and the Celtics don’t even care. He learned all of his teammates astrology signs!
Bro, they’re (correctly) never gonna choose to prioritize brown over Tatum. Either he accepts that and moves forward playing with an awesome team, or asks for a trade and tries to prove he can win in the playoffs as the number 1 guy. Either way I wish he’d stop whining
Brad stevens said what he looks for in players before drafting. “Their ambition isn’t necessarily greater than their self awareness”. JB isn’t a role player but sadly this statement seems true in his case.
2nd apron really messed up the team
Jaylen’s play style doesn’t fit this team if he’s going to play iso in the playoffs. I’m tired of watching him back into the paint and push everyone into oblivion just to get open middies. He makes me really appreciate Tatum. JT just plays beautiful, ethical basketball. I’m trying to think of a better all around player in the league who doesn’t flop like a feesh.
Good, please ask for a trade so I don’t have to deal with you anymore
