You have to stand for something or you will fall for anything. Thank you Mr Brown for who you are and what you do.
Deal Jaylen, you've done your job. When I watch Celtics basketball I'm not distracted. I watch and listen, and I hear the war cry.
Hyperinflation is here. You see how billionaires feel about Luka to save a buck. Nobody's safe. Jaylen's closer to us than to them. Listen up.

WHY SPEAK OUT RIGHT BEFORE ALL STAR >>MAYBE CUZ U DIDNT MAKE THAT TOO…
JB as president of USA would be the stuff of dreams. Can't remember a sportsmen like him
Most swag in the NBA 🔥🔥🔥
I’m surprised he didn’t mention the slave labor being used at the shoe companies.
My favorite player , do the It is what it is show in Boston 2/26. That would be dope!!!
Jaylen is a real one
JB7's astute self-awareness and deep integrity show his fundamental beliefs. a lot of players say the buzzwords and wear the slogan t-shirts—BLM, history month, etc.—but JB really does walk the talk, organizing and investing in what he believes in, and we ain't just talking brand names. his actions on significantly increasing access to STEM and STEAM knowledge for underserved communities is ground-breaking for these communities. he carving his own path in ways that are familiar among Celtics giants; i would say Bill Russell in particular: player, coach, activist.
all love JB7. keep raising the level of expectations of young players; raising the limits of young thinkers, young leaders, and undiscovered geniuses!
🔥🔥🔥
Love JB. He's boring af though. So is JT go Celtics
Why bruh think he shai
NOT A FAN OF HIS, BUT A FINALS MVP THAT REALLY BALLS OUT, SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE USA TEAM, THAT WAS A POLITICAL INDUSTRY CRIME AND THE NBA PLAYERS ON THE TEAM SHOULD HAVE PROTESTED
Thank you to everyone in this comment section! Im a C’s fan & lately I feel like all I see is Jaylen hate by ppl claiming to fans of the Celtics and its just tiring and frustrating, So i was opening the comments expecting those types but i was happily wrong!! I love Jaylen Brown man hes so underrated & gets so much undeserved hate he deserves more support from all of us #differenthere☘️
I feel like Basketball is just a stepping stone for JB. And that's saying something for an all-nba level talent. 30 years from now we'll see his time in the NBA as what put him on the publics radar, and he's going to grow that fame into successful businesses, into powerful social movements, maybe someday he'll even fix the department of education after the current administration finishes destroying it.
My grandma and I Always believed in you she just passed by she was always very proud watching jaylen he's the goat off the court ❤❤
when did we start caring about what jaylen brown has to say…. smh
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥I hear you Jalen
Respect his realness. He's not who YOU want him to be, He is just HIM.

The 3rd to Last Pick in the All Star Draft.
TNT biggest discrimination since Nikola Jokic was picked last in the All Star LeBron James and Giannis Draft. Shame on them.
