Jaylen Brown on being traded from the Celtics:
“It’s weird. My brain is like, Philly? Of all places… like why would you do that.”
Same Jaylen. Same.
Same Tomahawk. Same.
Same jefe. Same.
Same blue. Same.
Same bignut. Same.
Same bigboy. Same.
Same, Nin. Same.
Aye hippo i hear ya
Naz Reid
Add Paul George to your flair. Embrace it.
Embrace unc Paul
It’s a weird thing to bond us. There isn’t really a lot of Boston Philly hate overlap and we both thrive on it. Do you hate the Mets? Or Cowboys? I watch the town a lot.
It’s almost like if the Red Sox gave Babe Ruth to the Yankees
wait for real they traded jaylen already
‘Like why would you do that’
Yo, same dude lol. Shit is so weird. I really hated this dude for a long time
Don’t worry, you’ll really hate him again in a few months.
That’s what y’all said about PG and he saved my life
No one said you’d really hate PG in a few months. We said you’d hate him right away, and you did.
No one could ever make me hate Philly P.
A redemption story for the ages. Crawled through a river a ketamine and came out clean on the other side.
Did you just compare Philadelphia to a state prison and Boston to Zihuatanejo?
Sounds about right to me
Nah PG was pretty solid. Overpaid, but we really had no choice with Maxey’s extension. It was our last chance to go over the cap and we had to sign someone to stay in contention. If I had to go back in time, I would easily make that decision again.
I see that revisionist history isn’t just a river in Egypt.
We don’t beat the Celtics without him
All is forgiven for that.
The only people who hate PG are the psychotic Sixer fans that hate everything.
I’m not talking normal hate everything I’m talking the “trade Maxey” types
What PEDs did you get subscribed??
People think Sixers fans hate players for no reason while no one had to deal with more bullshit then us 😪
Kings, pelicans and wizards fans would disagree
Those are bad FO, but having to deal with players who couldn’t play due to a life threatening allergic reaction, a car accident , 1st overall picks that forgot how to shoot and another one who stopped enjoying playing. Millions of injuries on top of everything……
All we want is people that put in the work and play. The very basic lol
Naw, they just deal with being ass, nothing more, nothing less. We deal with actual, real, true bullshit. They ever have a first round draft pick almost die after eating Thai chicken? Another first overall pick crash their ATV and end up with the yips?
Another first overall pick be so fucking scared to shoot that he passes up a layup against a player he’s an entire foot taller than? And effectively end his own damn career? That’s bullshit.
Ain’t no way you actually believe that 🤣
In honor of how old Brown will be at the beginning of the season, I have thirty words for you - marginally better version of Tobias Harris if Tobi was convinced he was an MVP candidate and was on a 35% of the cap contract instead of 30% of the cap.
JB never recorded 5 points in a game 7. If Tobias even cared 5% when it came to important games during the playoffs, I wouldn’t even speak ill of him
Never was about the contract, always about his lack of effort (and delicious crumbl cookies)
Give him time.
What is the hate against Brown like in Philly? What’s it focused on?
Its just that he was a star player on the Celtics lol
What I mean is, what form does it take?
Eg., we mocked 2nd Cleveland stint LeBron for flopping, whining, reducing his teammates to catch-and-shoot, and a boring drive-and-kick offense. We mocked Kyrie for his arrogance, faux intellectual rhetoric, his lack of creation for others, and his shitty defense. We mocked Love for both being dirty and being soft.
I genuinely don’t know what form anti-Brown sentiment in Philly would look like.
its just pretty much all under the guise of FUCK THE CELTICS. can’t speak for all philly fans but i know plenty of us are like “damn i really like all these players on this team” and same goes for the players on the knicks. but it’s fuck you guys regardless of who puts the uni on for no other reason than fuck you guys.
Imma be honest, I don’t think this man happy about being in Philly lol
Dude has been dragged through the mud by the media and was traded to a rival unexpectedly. That’s a lot to process.
“The Process”
Don’t trust it
Philly fans are POS too
Isnt it just boston with less racism
Yeah pretty much.
All the northeast fans are left Twix and right Twix to each other.
Wrong!
You can always tell when people haven’t spent time in Philly and go purely on reputation lmao
but isn’t he a genius? he shouldn’t have any problem processing this.
Who told you he’s a genius?
He did. And Rachel nichols lol
Well, shit, that has me convinced he’s a genius
lol. You don’t know fr tho?
He has a genius level iq. And did shit for mit and Harvard. But his basketball iq is still pretty low lol
It’s probably weird right now but honestly he’s probably gonna love it. You were so unwanted by your former team that they traded you to a direct rival they just lost to. That’s how little they think of you? Now you have so much fuel to play with and show them they made a huge mistake.
He will love it until Nurse is playing him 40 min a night while Embiid is sitting on the bench and they are getting fucked by Giannis, Wemby or Jokic because they have no backup big
giannis played fewer games than embiid last year btw and misses plenty of time every postseason
You mean the year the bucks were actively trying to lose to get a better pick? The last “injury” was never diagnosed, he just said in post game interview that he’d likely be out 6 weeks and that was it.
Since 2020 Giannis has played over a hundred games more than Embiid.
Embiid is injured every single postseason and is also ass 90% of the time he plays in the postseason.
LeBron is not going to a new city for his last season. It’s either Cleveland or Miami
Edit: also he played TWO more games lmfao
Put some respect on Hukporti’s name
I just think having to move from somewhere you really like is probably pretty ass no matter what
I interpreted it as, “why would the Celtics trade me right down the road to a team they’re gonna see a lot during the season?”
A team that they just lost to in the playoffs a couple months ago.
My assumption is that both 1. The Celtics are mostly punting this yr on championship hopes and don’t care if the sixers are better this year and 2. They are hoping that the Jaylen contract will cripple them in the long run
Also the Celtics are still better than the Sixers
Maybe he will be traded to OKC and then released
He’ll be very happy if that extension comes soon.
I think he’d actually rather a non contender where he can be the #1 guy. Also think he’ll grow to like Philly.
have you seen how this man has been treated by the media? I wouldnt be all giggles and smiles at the moment.
At this point, bro wants to be the man on the nets. I don’t think he will do well on a team with two other big ball handlers
If he didn’t wanna come here then he simply wouldn’t play here
There are videos of him calling up VJ and Maxey. Any of Embiid? I kind of feel like he hates him lol.
How do you call up a dude that publicly smells his own farts and enjoys it?
You know how JB said he has to reprogram his brain to not hate philly? I have disliked Boston and JB for so long that now I’m like oh okay I’m kinda cheering for you to stick it to them, I have to reprogram. But then it’s like shit he’s on Philly tho I hate them too. Max chaos it is I hope they both lose the trade somehow
He immediately fits in with all the Philly fans who hate Boston though
He also fits in with all the Philly fans who hate philly. Market dominance
Double penetration
Like Taylor swift getting spit roasted by The Biebs and Harry Styles lmao
I think the only fans that hate Philly more than Boston fans are Philly fans
And nobody hates on Philly more than Philly fans.
Their hateful / something to prove interests are perfectly aligned
The win-win is the Celtics end up being worse, and Brown destroys the 76ers locker room.
But I guess its still a little early for a Christmas present
JB is absolutely not a locker room cancer despite what the media might want you to think
Things always go squirrelly in Philly though.
The gang trusts the process
If he can destroy a maxey/edgecombe locker room that would actually be impressive. He does have Nick Nurse to assist tho so it’s possible
This is the timeline. Better to celebrate Xmas early before Santa gets to Philly cuz then Xmas is over.
Why do you hate us, what did we do to y’all?
Division rival, 3 intense playoff series that went to 7,7,6 games. Embiid injuring (accidentally, still annoying tho) Scottie’s ankle in game 1 and ruining him getting a triple double in his first ever career playoff game. It’s not too serious but I don’t exactly like you guys lol I mean do you like us?
No, but that’s only because y’all beat us with arguably the best roster we had during the Embiid era on a heart breaking shot, and then proceeded to win the chip. But I was expecting the dislike to be mostly one way lol. Even then I don’t really hate the Raptors. I only hate the Celtics
Everyone hates the Celtics the most, that we can all agree on
Speak for yourself. I hate the Nets. I hate them with the passion of 1000 suns.
…but why?
I grew up in Jersey.
Why deal with a conference rival 😭
That’s like Kyrie being sent to Boston
Think Brad’s hoping for the same result.
Kyrie was destined to bring a championship to Boston. Just was on the wrong team at the time.
rival? brother they haven’t been past the second round in 25 years
how has that fact done for Boston in their most recent postseason?
Saved Boston the ignominy of getting swept by the Knicks.
But the thing is no one cares about who lost in what round unless it’s the finals.
Not only that but they’re division rivals too
trading him to a team you have to play 4 times a season is crazy
Brad said we’re playing the Sixers twice in preseason so we’ll see him 6 times 😭😭
That Celtics fan is smiling through the pain.
Like when dame found out there ain’t shit to do in Milwaukee. That tracks.
Philly is leagues better city than Boston and it’s not even close. Worst thing about it is that’s in PA
“Ive never heard anyone, vacation to Cleveland. “
Living in PA is a pretty significant downside of living in PA.
Philly’s a shit hole, can’t same the same about Boston
Well I can. Boston is a shithole. Philadelphia is a cool af.
That’s cause you have bad taste
Nah. I just have eyes and a functioning brain. Boston is just a copy paste American city that is really just a bunch of suburbs in a trench coat
Boston is so lame that even most “Bostoners” dont live there
Do you know Kensington is part of Philadelphia? You’d only wholeheartedly believe what you’re saying if you ignore everything bad about Philly lmao. I’m from Philly area not Boston. I’m not a “Bostoner” whatever the fuck that is. I’ve been all over. Please dude don’t be telling me like I don’t know how it is lol
Philly has the better nightlife. The hotter women, the better food scene, and the better lifestyle. Boston has snow and lobster - Maine does it better.
First time I’ve ever heard anyone say “the women in Philadelphia are so hot”
So you’ve never been here lol
Boston was literally just rated top 10 food city in the world. Yes, in the world. Google it. Philly not even close to being considered. So wtf are you pulling out of your ass? Boston is also rated significantly higher to live in. Philly isn’t close to Boston as a city.
Lot of words without acknowledging Kensington exists
And hotter women…?
Food is better but that’s probably about it. Fishtown and University City are nice and the rest of philly is a shit hole.
Boston was literally just rated top 10 food city in the world. Yes, in the world. Google it.
Based on what obscure reviewer? There are hundreds of these rankings all the time. And i do recall some post in the boston sub where someone ranked us highly over other well known cities and even the sub generally took it skeptically. There are some good things here, but on a whole it is lacking due to the way real estate and liquor licenses eat into the ability for restaurants to survive.
Boston was literally just rated top 10 food city in the world. Yes, in the world. Google it. Philly not even close to being considered. Boston is also rated significantly higher to live in. Philly isn’t close to Boston as a city. So wtf are you pulling out of your ass?
Lmao what a werid metric. Rated by who? I literally just googled “best food cities in america” and the first links that show up (reddit, foodtrippers, time out) all list philly ahead of boston. Philly also has more michelin stars than Boston. I cant find source claiming Boston has better food.
Also, by every other metric such as history, affordability, public transport, variety, events, nightlife, diversity and weather, Philly absolutely smashes Boston.
The only plus to Boston is that in doesnt have to deal with republican politics because even rural MA is pretty blue. Congrats on that.
https://www.boston.com/food/food-news/2025/12/18/boston-best-food-destination-2026/
So Conde Nast is an entertainment company that owns mainly magazines like Vogue. There’s nothing “official” about this. Sorry to burst your bubble, but this has the same weight as a food blogger or reddit list.
Not America, the world. It’s a list of best food cities in the world as of 2026. It’s an official rating from a global board. It was a big story in the food scene a couple months ago. And history in Philly “absolutely smashes” Boston?? Lol ok. Have you ever been to Boston? I highly doubt it.
What’s an official food board, mate? What makes them official? What a ridiculous thing to use. It’s funny how you literally cant name anything else but some random food board nobody cares about. Michelin has way more international cache than whatever this nameless board has. You cant even name it. How can Boston be one of the best food cities in the world when it’s not even one of the best in American lmao. Pathetic.
Yes, the country’s first Capital where the declaration of independence was signed, where Congress first met, has way more history than Boston. I’ve been to Boston, it’s nice, but it’s incredibly sterile, boring and uppity. A place for yuppies with no culture except dunkin donuts lmao. Most “Bostoners” actually just live in the suburbs. I prefer rural MA
Philly is basically a European city in America.
Ok your last line just shows how ignorant you are. Ask any European which US city is most like Europe. Boston is by far the most European city in the country. You are clueless. And you keep shitting on the global food city rankings in 2026 that I provided a link for, but then pull out other random bull shit and act like it’s some fact. Also Boston is the first city in the country, not Philly. Just do yourself a favor and do some quick research of Boston vs Philly.
Boston consistently outranks Philadelphia in general livability, wealth, and education metrics, whereas Philadelphia frequently ranks higher in affordability and cultural vibrancy.
Livability and Quality of Life Boston: Ranked 4th as a “Most Livable” large U.S. city by the AARP Livable Cities Index. It scores highly for its robust public transportation, world-class healthcare, and safety. Philadelphia: Typically ranks further down in overall livability compared to Boston due to higher crime rates and lower public school performance, though it scores well for its walkability and urban design.
The information is right there for you. Look it up. Your general vibes and feelings aren’t actually substantiated by anything.
Lmao, not you with the AI copy paste. You cant even come up with things on your own
Really pathetic.
Ask any European which US city is most like Europe.
They always say Philly because it’s true. Try talking to real people and not chatgpt for once.
Most Bostoners are suburbanites. Boston public transport is barebones. Walkability is trash. Philadelphians actually live in Philly. Boston is like your typical copy paste American city that happens to have a historic section. The historic sections of philly are interwoven into the modern city. Most of Boston looks like Arlington, Texas.
Not a Philly or Boston fan, but same brother, same
Bout to give y’all Boston boys 60.
How many turnovers does JB have in this scenario? Gives Boston 60? Geez
It’s a Trojan Jalen
This will hopefully invoke some kind of curse on the Celtics for generations to come
Brad setting up the modern day Benjamin Franklin plotline.
On a positive note: Love to see season ticket holder GreenRunsDeep getting time to interview 🤘🏻💚
Cuz Boston is trying to win , so they did addition by subtraction and the sixers will learn next year the hard way
his rookie year was when he saw his team’s best player Isaiah Thomas get eliminated from the Cavaliers after a career year of averaging 29 a night just to be traded to said Cavs in the offseason
brown in his case wasn’t injured, a Philly player in his prime didn’t demand out, was already a champ + perennial all star and didn’t have something that could seriously hold him back from having more great years (height) and has now suffered a similar fate.
prolly thought him trying his hardest to keep them afloat would be appreciated but nope smh
It’s simple JB: because you’re not worth your contract.
Same. But also it keeps him close to his community and business ops in Boston
Maybe he was the smartest in the room??…
“But then I remembered they had Trade Piece P and it all made sense.”
He sometimes wore a Braves hat whenever he’s sitting out a home game in Boston. Don’t think he’ll be doing that in Philly.
he read my mind
He seems whelmed
Yo is that los pollos on the right 🤔
Relatable JB
It’s very odd, perhaps I’m too young to understand how things worked in the past, but I am having difficulties understanding why they would trade a player at his calibre within their division, and not just any team in their division, they traded him to a team they lost to in the first round of last years playoffs?
There has to be some back room deal’s going on, maybe Philly is going ti trade him? Idk! Very strange
I think the next best deal was just significantly worse. Probably felt that it was better to maximize value rather than avoid trading to us.
Yeah
Ahhh, fair enough!! That’s a sound perspective. Thanks!!
The issue is that they clearly didn’t value him so why make the deal at the worst time rather than last year coming from a championship
His head is shaped so weird
Part of me thinks Brad sent him to Philly as a poor attempted chess move. He knows Brown just went on live and talked about how bad flopping was in the league and how Embiid was the main perp. Lol Brad was being petty and wanted to take a chance that he’d screw up phillys chemistry.
I feel for him, man.
I feel him. Imagine getting traded to the same team that you just eliminated in the playoffs by coming back from a 3-1 deficit.
That’s not what happened here lol
Imagine tho
It’s because the franchise doesn’t value you much Jaylen Marselles Brown (born October 24, 1996). Are u daft
Chill feds.
