Jaylen Brown delivered on his promise to go to war for the city of Boston | New England Connection
“I’m gonna go to war for this city.”
Jaylen Brown has fully executed on that promise. Those famous words on the night of the 2016 NBA Draft followed JB everywhere he went on his way to becoming one of the biggest superstars in the league. But that’s just the beginning of his story.
From day one, you could feel the love blossoming between player and city as Jaylen settled into his new home. His hard work, sense of humor, community outreach and stellar play on the court has endeared him to fans both in Boston and around the world.
“Boston’s a great city; full of culture, full of life, education, things that mean a lot to me.”
Now the proud owner of two playoff MVP trophies and a 2024 NBA Championship, we can look back on Jaylen’s rise to greatness with an appreciation for the journey, not just the destination.

Great video! Let’s Go Celtics!!!💚☘️#19
As a Celtics fan since 1960 when I was 12 years old, I can’t be more happier that you became a Boston Celtics and you love the area and the fan! You have contributed greatly to the organization, the city and the well-being of the Boston Celtics❤❤❤❤
Tried to trade him for KD though
Ugh four more days 🙁
As someone who bleeds and breathes Boston I am so proud of Jaylen Brown and what he does for the city of Boston. He overcame adversity here + came out on top. This man has such a brilliant mind and can do anything. I'm glad he came to play for the Boston Celtics! ☘️☘️☘️❤❤❤
He’s a very likable person ☘️
I always like this player since of draft
I'm glad JB is a celtic. Liked him since the day he first came here. Same with JT.

This feels like something you'd put out because your team just got a new owner and changes are coming

This is enough to make a grown man cry

He embodies the city: Tough, smart, resilient, and persistent. He has evolved his game to provide whatever the team needs. He has become the focused leader and calm that they require off the court and the tough enforcer on the court.
Get healthy JB! We need you to go B2B
surprised hes lasted this long here considering the bullshit we put him thru. you kinda wish he was on a different team tho
Hard not to root for the guy. Banner 19! Let’s GO

I remember watching this live, it was his first preseason game at UMass-Amherst. Favorite player ever since❤
Coolest thing about JB and JT as they are true Celtics in every sense of what it means to be a true Celtic. Special dudes who humbly work hard and stay out of trouble and scandal, try to uplift other people and don't make excuses for their shortcomings. They just get better.
JB is such a great person out of basketball 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
JB is as true as it gets
Jaylen Brown ENTER his 2nd YEAR PRIMES this season 💪🔥💪
let’s go get it!
Seeing how videos like this are basically ads for your product, it's a sign of how classless and greedy you are that you have your ads sponsored by advertisers. People don't need to make $50m a year to bounce a ball and I don't need to watch 60 minutes of ads every game. So I don't. I pirate this crap, which cuts out all the ads. If I can no longer watch it ad free for free I won't watch. You're a classless league and you're lucky if anyone gives 1 second of attention to you.
