Jaylen Brown: “For the past 10 years, I’ve been programmed to hate Philadelphia.
Pretty fair take. It’s one of the more crazy angles of the trade. WHO the Celtics traded him to after all these years of the rivalry.
It’s still so shocking to me. The sixers, they’re rivals, in the same conference, the same division, the team they just lost to, the team he and the Celtics have eliminated 3⁄10 times he’s went to the playoffs. And he was just traded there? Insane
Wasn’t this the first win for Philly in those 10 years? Pretty sure it was.
It was our first playoff series win against them since 1982
I recall that figure. Thanks for sharing.
This is what I’m so confused about. Ainge never traded with rivals. Getting fleeced is one thing, but getting fleeced by your rival? Surely brad wouldn’t have been as scrutinized by being fleeced by someone else
Ainge traded Isiah Thomas to the Cavs after they eliminated them in 2017.
Though nothing was stopping the juggernaut Cavs in the east at that time.
Though Paul George will probably be less toxic to the Celtics than Kyrie.
Lol but that trade literally stopped the cavs (not LeBron, just the cavs) by taking away their second best player. I still don’t know how that trade was allowed to go through with how hurt IT was though.
Bron would’ve made the finals that year with me on the floor tbh though.
Boston took away the Cavs 2nd star in Kyrie and replaced him with a crocked, 75% scale version
Sounds like it came from the top
Getting fleeced is one thing, but getting fleeced by your rival
If you believe that Jaylen Brown is overpaid and overrated and doesn’t impact winning as much as the box score stats suggest he does…
This is the same rivalry that once had Dr. J, THE Doctor, who’s known for his grace and class, tried to fight Larry Bird in a regular season game because Bird was giving him the business. It didn’t hurt that Moses and Barkley were there as well.
Dr. J prob went thru a lot of reprogramming himself, having been born and raised in NY and played college ball at UMass
If Brad Stevens traded him because the owner didn’t want to pay him, it’s a pretty proper fuck you from that lens
Quite literally the NBA’s prolific rivalry
Cause he’s a piece of shit and nobody wants to be around him
dumb redditors: “huh?”
But keep struggling about why he was traded for shit.
Wtf kind of incel threads you been reading, no credible report showed of him being a toxic teammate in Boston. He’s also one of the most charitable athletes in Boston the past decade.
He just got traded for a bag of chips, is that because he’s well-liked, or because they wanted to drop him like a turd?
Don’t think about it too hard.
I like how you Twitch monkeys get so mad about this, because he probably mentioned you in chat lmao.
Your turd’s dropping
it’s like they wanted to remind him of it knowing they gotta meet up all year round smh
It makes me sick to my stomach
Coulda called us if he’s doing it smh
Would’ve taken JB in a heartbeat
Too dark to crack our starting 5 though. Gotta be some shade of milk. We got heavy cream, whole milk, skim milk, oat milk, and chocolate milk. Maybe if JB was strawberry milk.
The Sixers are Brown’s most played against team in his career
Yup if they traded him to the Nuggets it wouldn’t be nearly as shocking
Well the Celtics think Jaylen Brown is an overrated overpaid bum so it makes sense they would send him to one of their biggest rivals
Philly officially won the rivalry. All the losses are Harden’s or Simmon’s fault who aren’t on the team anymore and now the Celtics are broken (no I don’t think they’ll win close to as many games as last years team, which just beat up on a bunch of tanking teams).
Let’s not act like there haven’t been trades between the teams that the Celtics have won.
The Fultz / Tatum trade is likely to be more lopsided than this one in the end, although it definitely seemed fair at the time.
Hahahahahaha. It’s so easy to bait people right now but you have to pretend to be serious at least a little for it to work
I hate them more than I hate the Sixers, but the Celtics won a chip and that’s it.
Fair, we were also programmed to hate him lol.
Its objectively super weird. I’m not a vocal hater or anything, but I’ve thought of him as a pseudo intellectual dork who also played for a team that tortured us for the the recent past. I don’t have the mental dexterity to just switch it up like “oh now he’s cool” like if he was on a random team all these years.
It’s all still true, but now he’s OUR pseudo intellectual dork, it be like that sometimes.
You guys will love him
Jokes on you - we don’t love anything
Okay but what about Allen Iverson?
I still don’t understand the pseudo intellectual narrative. What did you do to get the tag?
He often tries to portray himself as smarter than he seemingly is. His “interest” in certain things just feels extremely performative at times.
The clearest example of this is that he claims he was a captain of his HS chess team and a very active chess player in the UCLA chess club.
But he’s literally a 200-400 elo chess player and has clearly barely ever played, or somehow did play but never learned the very basics of the game.
Lying about playing chess because you know it’s perceived as a smart person game is just odd lol. Not that it makes him evil or a bad person or anything, it’s just corny and kinda weird IMO.
Why do you care so much what his elo is ? lol it’s irrelevant to how intelligent he is. Some quick research on him would tell you he doesn’t have to fake being intelligent.
It’s just a clear example of how he lies to make himself appear smarter than he is.
Even a below average intelligence person that plays a decent amount of chess wouldn’t have that low of an elo. It’s what you’d expect from a child just learning the game.
It’s as simple as he’s lying or he’s genuinely room temperature IQ.
I don’t think he’s actually as dumb as his elo would suggest. I just think he’s insecure and lies to project what he believes portrays intelligence, such as claiming to be a chess player despite clearly not being one.
I’ve been hating him for years when everyone loved him, but now that everyone else hates him too, I’m finding it quite easy to like him lmao
as a sixers fan I have so much experience relishing hatred and rooting for the villain, feels like home
We need a pseudo intellectual dork flair in the Sixers sub
You were right lol
Get ready for the reprogramming JB
it’s pronounced “fuck Boston”
They just might
Were? Hey man dont switch up now.
We never said anything about him pushing off or anything about his hairline. That was just a Mandela effect
It’s like if Embiid got traded to Toronto. I will feel all kinda weird.
Dude that would be.. wow. I dunno if i could accept that
I am struggling to actually get excited about the trade because I’ve hated him for 10 years
Pretty fair statement. I would struggle to like SGA if he were traded to the spurs, even though objectively it would be great for winning.
I know its a recent rivalry and nothing compared to the Philly Boston rivalry, but I get the sentiment a little at least.
This is a nightmare 😫
Idk, I’m having a great time lol
soilent gleem is people!
I didn’t realize it but I was sharing my popcorn with you.
Really, weren’t you defending this shit just earlier
I’m not sure what you mean
I was just talking to you
What was I defending? I’m confused lol
I don’t even remember
lol alright
What did you just say to me?
Thought you had perfect memory, Severian
It’s not a big deal. People from Philly have been programmed to hate Philadelphia too.
I stopped watching the NBA when D Rose injured his ACL. I started watching again because of Ben Simmons. I’m now programmed to hate that mf.
Honestly, Philly vs Boston is now got even more interesting.
Not a fan of either team, so that match-up is far more interesting to me. Deffo gonna be a good watch.
It’s been a full day and I still feel physically ill.
Y’all traded your FMVP lol. But don’t worry, apparently you are better on the court when he’s not
I want to see him guard Tatum next season. Bro’s got a whole tostito on his shoulder.
Always praying on the C’s downfall 🙏
Don’t worry, he’ll still be programmed to hate NYC
I just hate all y’all fandoms since y’all programmed to hate mine so basically fuck all you guys
I love that for you with being very being!
It’s kinda refreshing to get takes from the players themselves as big changes happen
We’ve gotten lots of that before. The difference here is there’s a real honesty to it that is refreshing
Jalen is charismatic as well
this about to Vegeta dbz arc for real
Hes about to ball out and turn it all around
If the Vegeta arc tho, he gonna ball out and showcase how good he and the Sixers are only to job for the main characters of the Eastern Conference
Only 10 years?
He grew up in Georgia, don’t think Atlanta has beef with Philly?
The Phillies and Braves have an intense rivalry. Although there’s some love for the Bulldogs for essentially building the Eagles defense.
TIL
The rivalry mostly flares up when the Mets suck balls (like this season for example)
but the Mets are NY
There’s a mural hatred between the Mets Phillies and braves
Kinda random lol
well they are in the same division, that’s why
Oh
*checks the Mets current standing
The Phillies are worth less than a piece of gum stuck under a table at Applebee’s . They’re a trash organization with the absolute worst fans in the world. I hope they never see success again as long as I’m alive on this earth. Your turn.
What I want to say about the Braves would get me IP banned from Reddit and possibly in trouble with my parole officer
I’m not surprised you’re on parole, you are a Phillies fan after all
my parole officer has a parole officer
I assume that parole officer also has a parole officer, who just also happens to be your parole officer?
Mets fan here. Yup we’re just shit this season lmao. Enjoy fighting the Phillies and not losing your division randomly to like Miami or some bullshit
Neah it goes back to the 90s. They used to fucking torture us.
Doubt Jaylen Brown keeps up with american football
most African americans aren’t into baseball
Its just natural to hate philly
Vikings fans are still upset over 2018 lmao
After the Eagles won in 2017, Vikings fans quickly took their spot as the most spiteful NFL fanbase. Which is weird because the other Minnesota fanbases are hella chill.
Imagine you have the literal once in a lifetime chance to play in the super bowl in your own city and all you have to do is beat a back up qb
And then you proceed to get smoked by said backup QB.
Looking back on 2017, idk how the Vikings got to 13 wins. Honestly, I could say that about a lot of their recent double-digit win squads.
Yeah when you ripped up our stadium and chanted “Fuck Millie”, a 90+ year old vikings fan who wanted to see a ring before she died
whoa whoa, what’s the context to a non-NFL fan?
2018 NFL playoffs ended with the Eagles smacking the Vikings in 2018 in the NFCCG and then winning their first super bowl against the patriots in US bank stadium in Mn
During that run Vikings fans rallied around then 97 year old Millie who wanted to see a ring before she passed (which she did in 2018), Eagles fans chanted “fuck Millie” in the streets after they won the NFCCG. They also ripped seats out of US Bank stadium after they won the super bowl
Haven’t heard about anyone ripping out seats but even if it’s true pretty funny to be worked up a out that 8 years later
I don’t like you and I’m glad this happened
Philly fans make it easy to dislike them
Thanks I hate you more
I’m sorry the vikings didn’t care enough about her to win a ring
Geez, mob mentality is awful.
goooo birds
btw she died in 2021 at the age of 101
I’ve been a fan for a year and a half and about half of that time has been spent hating Philly. You’re really not wrong.
No one thinks about you at all
Lmao
Maybe as a Braves fan.
He’s American. He’s not from Philly.
He hates Philly.
Man I been doing that my whole life
Jaylen hit me up man I can give you some pointers on hating Boston
At the very least it’s good to see the Boston NY Philly hate triangle is alive and well
If the fans of our three cities didn’t hate each other, the planet would collapse on itself. It’s simply the natural order of things in sports.
Kings of the North
Thats why ive always low key wanted the Patriots in the NFC east. I dont feel as though my hatred for them has enough vitriol
Yeah, and both of y’all took a center from us each, these are gonna be some interesting games lol
Dont think he needs any pointers because getting fucked over will be more than enough fuel for him
He’s gonna love Philly honestly
He’ll fit right in here, Nobody hates the Sixers more than a Sixers fan, they’ve been programming me my whole life too
Lolol same
I actually think he will become more appreciated at Philly than Boston. He fits the culture of that city more.
I can see that. No one hates Philly like Philly fans. His genuine hate will be appreciated.
“That’s the part that’s gonna take some time”
Can’t blame him, it’s gotta be a mindfuck. For any hockey fans it’d be like Malkin getting traded to the Flyers. Great to have him but… man this is weird as hell.
Glad you didnt say Sidney. I could never accept that
Wait, so is Jaylen Brown a robot like Kawhi since he has programming
Yes
For the past 10 years, I’ve been programmed to hate Jaylen Brown. I think we’re both very confused.
I think at least he’s and sixers fans both respect the game and what rivalries are about
You guys know why he hated you and he knows why you hated him
All about competitiveness and representing your team
It’s going to be a good relationship going forward
It is kind of odd getting traded to a rival team. The fans cussing you out suddenly become number one fans. It’s not big deal but it’s an interesting transition
We have an inside man
76ers fan here, never once have I talked bad about this man or his gameplay. He’s a complete player on both ends who’s elite at everything there is in basketball. His contract has always been completly perfect and well deserved. Truly a class act of a young man both on and off the court.
“His contract has always been completely perfect.” lol
He’s probably going to bring a championship to Philly! Philly won this trade!!
He needs the Philly Clockwork Orange treatment. Pry his eyes open and force him to watch hours and hours of John Kruk and Bobby Clarke
I opened r/nba and like 10 of the top 20 posts are Jaylen Brown podcast clips. Every sentence has its own thread.
Jeff Teague and 3 other podcasts roud out the top 20.
And then we discuss how stupid is it that all these players have their own podcast lol
lmao from fuck the progress to i love progress
This kitchens not the same WITHOOOUUUTTTT YOUUU 🎶 🎶 😢
Jaylen Brown trying to use “reverse engineer it” and using it wrong is so Jaylen Brown
JB uses stuff wrong a fair bit but there’s nothing wrong with this one. He’s trying to reverse engineer the “programming” he jokingly says was done to him. It works in context.
Philly loves nothing more than taking a guy they used to hate, and loving them the second they get here.
Aka Gritty
This hurt with Papelbon.
All I got from this is that JB has been in the league for a decade. Time flies.
Would have guessed 6 years at the most
They traded podcasters this is crazy
Pfft I was born with Philly hatred running in my blood
Because he said history of the rivalry second I guess he meant Philadelphias history as a whole also lmfao.
JB not letting the MOVE bombing slide I might have to become a JB stan ngl
Casual. I was born into it
Im quite an old nba fan, is this quite on the same level when Kobe and Artest were battling it out always in the west, then suddenly he got traded to the Lakers to be with Kobe?
Get ready to learn the process, buddy
Mine’s organic. I lived with a bum from Philly.
i saw this whole video and just ended up not liking boston ownership and kind thing they are di**ka. just be straight with people and things will be less fu**ing weird . he deserves a better team and fu** boston
[deleted]
They already did that once with Al Horford.
Beep boop
Got bro acting like a sleeper cell
Kinda what I went through growing up as an Iverson and 02 Kings guy when LeBron chose the Lakers. Done now though
you think this okay?
bro really me but that programming will always be hard coded
Thick circle frames are like the calling card for pseudo intellectuals
The love-hate relationship will be fun to watch
The Curse of the Great Jaylen Brown
Dude this sucks
Totally unimportant but bro does not know what reverse engineering means
I genuinely think they did this because they hate him and know they’re the only team he hates
Not an American but been a basketball fan for about 3 decades to 4 now, didnt even know bos had a rivalry vs philly. I knew they battled, maybe based on the eastern region-based in the US, but this adds the weirdness flavor of why Philly. What kind of pressure did the front office feel? It sounds like it was driven by their hate on JB and release him now mode
As some one that grew up in the lakers vs Celtics era , im rooting for jb
Deprogrammer incoming.
So tired of this guy’s zoom meetings
Me from the past 25 years
Why do I feel like this would be 2019-20 Al Horford once again?
Go away Jaylen. Just go away.
who’s gonna tell him
That’s his whole point bruh try listening
That’s not what reverse engineering means my guy.
‘Free thinker Jaylen brown’ lmao
Get this cunt of the internet
