Jaylen Brown DELIVERS for Boston Celtics at All-Star—Beverly Hills PD Halts His Event
Jaylen Brown’s All-Star weekend showcased both on-court firepower and off-court drama. He had a great early run in the tournament, but tailed off in the final two games. The bigger story might be a run-in with the Beverly Hills PD, derailing his 741 event—costing him $300,000 and raising questions about celebrity athlete treatment.
Jayson Tatum drops a teaser for his anticipated five-part docuseries chronicling his recovery and planned return, while Derrick White owns his “All-Star impact,” sparking debates about recognition versus real influence in the Boston Celtics’ lineup.
John Karalis of Celtics On SI breaks down Brown’s All-Star performance, and also has a candid take on the NBA’s tanking controversy, questioning if outrage is genuine or just fleeting fandom. Key highlights include Victor Wembanyama’s rising stardom, formats that reinvigorate All-Star games, and why strategic tanking remains a polarizing, yet often celebrated, path to team greatness. Don’t miss this rapid-fire analysis of Boston Celtics narratives and NBA hot topics.

I have a strong feeling we are winning the championship Jayson looks great ☘
I'm glad you watched all star weekend so I didn't have to. Let's get back to business: Larry Obrien trophy 19!
I think you're completely off on your tanking take my personal take is they should be fined 10 million and drop 5 spots in the draft🤷♂️
Tanking because you make your roster worse for a few years is not the same as actively benching your players to intentionally lose games. Did OKC and SAS bench their top players during their tank? Asking because I legitimately don't know.
All Star weekend was a complete shit show. Nobody knew about the time change, way too much downtime and that Slam Dunk contest was horrible. A complete joke. And don’t get me started on Adam Silver. The JB fiasco was 100% racial profiling and makes me sick. Ok rant over!
Excited for the 2nd half of the season. Thanks JK ☘️🔒🐾
Brown was very good in the first game, OK in the second, and terrible in the final(as were the rest of his teammates). He shot(and missed) way too much. He should've passed when he knew(or should've known) that his shot was off. Now, on to the rest of the season. I still hope they can get a quality player from the buyout market. Let's Go Celts!
JT return has been so obvious for so long and you covered it mostly logically. The recent noise was the press at its worse saying maybe he is taking the year off — just click bait and or stupidity. Seemed like a bit of both. Love your work so many weak contributors in the sports press space.
I missed the saturday events because i had no idea it was pushed to 5pm due to the Olympics. By the time i got home they were finished.
