i mean has he had a huge miss these past few years? trade wise

He said a year in which he didn’t win a ring and was the de facto number 1 guy was his favorite. Thats enough to kick him off somewhere else.

Should trade him to the Lakers for Reaves

That’s a huge luxury most franchises can’t say for certain

He literally won a ring and FMVP a couple seasons ago, can’t believe he’s saying the first round exit after being up 3-1 is his favorite season.

It really is not that hard to understand

Jaylen Brown elaborating why this was his favorite season — explains how rewarding it was to see Jordan Walsh, Hugo Gonzalez, Neemias Queta all come into their own.

Also adds:

“I got to see Jayson Tatum come back from an injury — mentally overcome, what that takes.”

And obviously he got to be the #1 option and the team performed better than most people thought they would

Srsly how is his favorite season not the one where they won the title and he actually won FMVP

well its a lose lose situation…. lets not forget that Celtics were predicted to be bums, JB and Joe scrap there way to second seed, with JB really being that guy. ofc he would enjoy that, now people hate and say hes a stat padder. He cant win this situation, either way for fans its never good enough. Most bball players face this, yall did it with Joel Embiid over and over again, but unlike Joel, JB is a finals mvp…

Maybe it’s cope but I 100% get it. Proving the doubters wrong and going on a run when the expectations were lowest is so much fun. That 24 season was awesome and a ton of fun but it also felt way shittier to lose than it did feel good to win (prior to the finals). Those 18 and 22 teams that felt destined to be disappointments that went on runs were so much and even though they lost early in the playoffs, if you would’ve told me after how they started that they’d be the 2 seed I’d have taken that outcome ¹⁰⁰⁄₁₀₀ times out of

I think its just all around cope after they lost leading 3-1 to a team they usually beat

Their coach has been acting the same as well

I mean, it was also one of my favorite seasons until they shit the bed in the last 10 quarters. I don’t think he’s a bad person for enjoying the season. Probably should just keep it to himself for a bit until the wound isn’t so fresh though.

I don’t find it tough at all. I find it pretty relatable. He talked essentially about how there was elevated responsibility on his shoulders this season that wasn’t just being a primary option. It was the leadership and taking young guys under his wing that made the season so rewarding because he got to see them succeed throughout the year.

The title run was a season where they were in killer mode all year long, there wasn’t time for development talks or mistakes. There was a burden of collective talent that can make the winning feel amazing, but the whole season can be pretty miserable.

I think having some basic perspective into what these guys say can go a long way and I think people pretty badly missed the boat on what that quote could mean.

I feel like many people are failing to understand the context behind this being his favourite season. 

I’m a fan of Manchester United and while the club’s most successful seasons are ¹⁹⁹⁸⁄₉₉ and ²⁰⁰⁷⁄₀₈ when they won both the premier league and champions league, as a random fan, my personal favourite season is ²⁰⁰⁶⁄₀₇. The reason is that the team wasn’t expected to do much that season but they surprised everyone by winning the league, making the semis of the champions league and reaching the final of the FA Cup. The difference of the low expectations vs great end result was massive. 

For me this is kinda the same thing with Jaylen Brown. If you look at the early season predictions for different teams, most people expected the Celtics to a play-in team or worse. To then finish as the second seed in the east is a phenomenal achievement! And he had to play at a very high level for months to help the team get there. 

Anyone who is bothered by this just wants to be bothered. 

That’s the part that keeps getting me too. I don’t think Brown wants to leave the Celtics, but I do think there’s a part of him that wants to be the unquestioned leader.

I genuinely believe this is real housewives tier drama and it’s hilarious watching people engage with it seriously

he’s literally AJ Brown. He wants the gaudy numbers, players care about championships less than people think especially stars, if they aren’t putting up stats.

Facts, it makes me wonder if he even wanted Tatum to come back at all. There’s no way he doesn’t understand the optics of what he’s saying and implying.

I’m getting the impression more and more that he is maybe just a very selfish person.

bro same. I don’t see how he doesn’t get that this is disrespectful af

its mind numbing, asking us to be proud of a regular season that ended in a blown 3-1 lead in the first round.

everyone complains when players are too pr friendly and then are the first ones to cry when players say something they don’t like

Needs more henchmen

The leprechaun is missing

Steaming and saying absolutely nothing. Like there are a lot of words being said, but why does this man have a whole crew with him constantly but they just cater to the fact that he doesn’t say anything of substance. Classic definition of lack of depth. That’s Jaylen Brown in a nutshell. Zero awareness and zero depth but a ton of shallow bullshit.

You guys have done this every season the Celtics have failed

Jaylen is getting traded to a team whose HC was cheating on his wife with a journalist?

Maybe he washed them

You guys are truly overthinking this. Its a nothingburger.

they can both get what they want

Because of this very reason. The media likes to stir some stuff up and JB says he hates that.

Attention is a hell of a drug
