You can’t fire me I quit

He can publicly declare his desire for a trade and tank his own value I guess

Don’t tell Celtics fans that, according to them, “they’re just listening to offers” lol

The last relevant thing we’ll do for another 45 years.

Can always pull a Harden

The most Jaylen Brown way to demand a trade ever tbh

Besties with Kanye, constantly talks about black brotherhood right wing groups and then claims he just likes to spread a positive message, retweets Kyrie’s weirdness about him being a god, crystals and zodiac…

Claiming it was his favourite season as a pro, minutes after flaming out in the playoffs as the first option had to be what did it. He’s been a jabroni for years and his nonsense was never too much until then.

Chess shouldn’t be used as a metric to gauge intelligence

However, it is very funny that Jaylen Brown is also terrible at chess. Like godawful. I remember the whole big push that story got and he even got a bot on chess.com

Then I looked at the games he was playing and realized he’s not even like 500 elo.

I’ve seen many stories saying he was the captain of his chess club at middle school or high school and played at Berkeley

Based on his play, he is either lying or maybe ppl were just too scared to call him out or actually offer advice because genuinely someone who learned the game a month ago could surpass his level

I saw a game where he walks straight into a rook fork against a kid (not a prodigy, he was definitely 3 digit Elo as well) and was down like 15 points of material before resigning

Another game where it seems like he doesn’t even know how to develop any of the pieces and destroyed his position and chances to win like 4 moves into the opening

I have commented this before but there was a story a few years ago that jaylen was captain of the chess team in high school. My law school buddy went to the same high school. I made a comment about Jaylen being captain. Buddy tells me it’s not true. How does he know? “Because I was the captain of the chess team”

I’m very glad that people have seen through JB’s schtick. He’s not smart.

First off, his academic credentials are nonexistent. His “Berkeley education” entailed him getting into Cal as an athlete (i.e. highly relaxed academic standards for admission), then taking 1 year of Cal classes. And his “graduate class” was just a random seminar that any undergrad can take.

And second off, more importantly, he’s exhibited a glaring lack of critical thinking over the years. He’s willingly engaged with and peddled conspiracy theories and other pseudo-intellectualism. That’s not what smart people do.

The fact that anyone ever thought JB was smart means he did a great job with his PR in constructing a farcical facade.

He invested a couple game checks with the tech bros!

And spoke at MIT and Harvard !! Went to Cal !!

it’s pretty funny how people used this to prove how smart he was when a member of the club said he wasn’t even that good to begin with lmao

NBA stars like to do these performative intelligence acts though. LeBron with his godfather bullshit and Wemby with his monk thing.

I think most of these players are dumb because they get babied due to their athletic gifts and never study/try in school. Then you add tons of money on top of that

More specifically, they have an ego from having so much success early and become independent thinkers, which can be dangerous. Kyrie and Aaron Rodgers jump to mind.

They both have Kanye syndrome: they conflate contrarianism with intellectualism.

I also think that it’s often very easy to mistake an understated manner for reason and sensibility.

If it makes you feel any better, the Berkeley you (and other non athletes) attended is most certainly a very different experience than the one the athletes got.

And this goes for all of high level profitable College sports (excluding Ivy’s and a select few others).

Not only is the admission requirement drastically lowered but their “schooling” while there is hand designed to be as easy as possible.

Schedule filled with bullshit classes. Tutors that do everything for you. Administrative help to ensure super lax deadlines and standards. Babysitters that basically guarantee you pass the minimum amount of classes no matter how abysmal your effort is.

Hence why NFL/NBA guys can make it all the way to the league and not even be able to read, despite having more education than many people.

Source: I have multiple friends that got top tier athletic scholarships, and I have spent lots of time around a variety of collegiate athletes and teams.

He taught at Harvard. 

He even taught at MIT because he felt bad for the sorry bastards for going to MIT. 

The average person is really dumb

A dipshit’s comment on JB’s most recent IG post.

Problem with Jalen Brown is he intimidates the masses with his intelligence. Jalen Brown is extremely educated and put so much pressure on the nba because he will not hide or surrender his knowledge.

Jaylen Brown uses his platform to educate and when he educate he’s answering a lot of the WHY for most ppl. They can’t handle Jaylen Brown glorying the WHY

Facts. Jason Kidd went to Cal and was also known as one of the dumbest kids to ever graduate from my high school.

One of my best friends also went to high school with fellow Cal alumn Marshawn Lynch, and said the dude did as much homework as the janitors.

Kd is funny?

Lol

Kd trash talks his own teammates online

that’s why we all loved the lamelo saga. reported at 11 PM and was done by 9 AM the next day

Nah we love the drama. Giannis just milked it too long. Give me a quick Jimmy Butler/Minnesota crashout that wraps up in like 3 weeks.

People are LOVING this what are you talking about

im enjoying the drama a lot more after a couple days ago for some reason lol

Nah I’m here for it lol. Give me all the Jaylen Brown social media activity

I don’t know the actual answer but I just know I personally disrespect Tony Parker more.

All of the previous Finals MVP’s back to Igodaula also won the league MVP trophy or another Finals MVP trophy prior.

So of course they would be more respected than Brown.

“Finals MVP” has done some very heavy lifting in these conversations

The Cs can’t win a championship in the new cap rules while paying JB $70M a year. That’s it. Great player who will thrive being the #1 option on a bad team.

But it wasn’t some dominant finals MVP. The Celtics were a very egalitarian side with different players having big games throughout - both Derrick White, Jrue Holiday, Jayson Tatum and Brown all rotated in terms of who had better games.

Is there a reason he’s always being referenced by that title like he was Kawhi Leonard in that finals

trading someone isn’t disrespect, just like a player leaving to get more money isn’t disrespect.

Ill feel hella disrespected if i won finals mvp and just led my team to the 2 seed and suddenly my team wants to get rid of me

I mean he was also the least impressive Finals MVP since like Iguodala

People think KD’s rings shouldn’t count

That’s what happens when a FMVP isn’t deserved

Yea the main reason for the trade drama is Stevens doesnt believe it’s a good idea to build around two players with alot of overlap who will take over 70% of the cap

The Celtics FO has been great especially making moves to get them the chip but this really all started with that insane Nets trade that Ainge pulled off years ago that netted them the duo of Tatum and Brown

I mean he still had 33/9/4. Sounds like a shitty thing to hang over his head. Where was Tatum?

He also lost game 7 to 8th seed Miami as the star, with no Tatum. Both of the game 7’s they lost, Tatum was gone and Brown was the man. The series in 2024 where he was the MVP were instances of front-running. He’s unclutch whenever the chips are down

I think the issue lays in that some analysts of other teams are saying Brown is on average the 7th best player on most teams and thats a massive falsehood. Also it’s wild to not think that the old boys club won’t act like the old boys club.

And this is exactly why his advanced stats are mediocre relative to his reputation.

People are under belief that he’s some dominant 2 way wing when he isn’t. He’s a good player but no where near mvp level. The Celtics have consistently won the minutes where he’s not on the court by a massive margin

Didn’t kyrie want out and requested a trade? Or did they shop him before that?

Yeah I mean some of the shit he’s saying isn’t wrong, like Disney does own a lot of the media and a lot of these talking heads talk about the topics they’re told to talk about, but if that’s the case, I’m doing exactly what what you said. Eating ice cream and laughing about it. NBA contracts are fully guaranteed too, he’s a finals mvp. I would chill lol

His ego is huge. Attributing his athletic success to thinking it means he’s also intellectually successful and wise as well. Dude won the generic lottery and now thinks he’s worth half a billion dollars and that there’s an ‘agenda’ against him.

Id like to say he’s just acting but I think the dude is genuine with all this.

I remember when Dennis Schroeder said the trade deadline is modern day slavery… dude also turned down an $80M contract after winning a chip with the lakers lmfao.

Some people are just never happy man. If Brown stays in Boston he’s upset bc he’s always being talked about behind Tatum. If he gets traded he’s upset bc he got traded.

I would understand if he was linked in a trade for bums but y’all were trying trade him for Giannis.

And he still hasn’t been moved for them. They clearly don’t want to attach much to him

The post was referencing KD/Jaylen Brown trade rumors from back when KD was on the Nets

Because Tatum’s value could not be any lower after missing most of the season to an injury that not a lot of guys ever fully recover from.

Brown on the other hand led the team to way more wins than anyone expected of them this year, and assuming Tatum does get back up to speed next year, Brown’s value is never going to be higher than it is right now, despite the first round exit.

Getting his gargantuan contract off the books would make it a lot easier to retool around Tatum as well.

I’m not saying they SHOULD trade him, but I can see the logic behind it if that is ultimately what they decide to do.
