Jaylene Brown has made it very clear how he feels about some Boston Celtics fans.
After his team reached the NBA Finals, Jaylen Brown doesn’t feel like he’s being held in the respect he deserves by some members of the Boston Celtics fan base.
Brown liked a tweet that quoted “Jaylene Brown being disrespected by Celtics fans”. Bleacher Report was smart enough to take a screenshot of Brown’s likes and post it online. Although the Boston fan base can be pretty tough, Brown signed with the Celtics for at least two more seasons. He must raise his play if he doesn’t want to be outdone by Jason Tatum anymore.
This team was two wins away from the 18th NBA Championship. What are we even doing here?
Jaylen Brown explains how he feels about some Boston Celtics fans
Brown is about to enter his seventh professional season outside of Cal. Now he earns a lot of money every year, Having just raised nearly $25 million in annual salary. Over the next two seasons, Brown is set to make roughly $26.7 million in 2022-23 and $28.5 million in 2023-24 before reaching unrestricted free agency in 2024. This will be before Brown’s 28-year season in the MLS For professionals.
Admittedly, it must have smelled bad for a player of Brown’s caliber to always play second fiddle to a star like Tatum. He came to the league a year after Brown and earned more buzz, respect and accolades over his Boston teammate. We get it, but it is what it is. The catch though is that the Boston championship window is wide open, but it may close after the next two seasons.
Again, Brown may be a huge fan of the Celtics, so he may not want to play anywhere else. However, this is a volatile media market that will turn the player around in an instant, especially when he claims he doesn’t feel loved. Regardless, Brown will have to find a way to put the haters behind and forget about them. It would be all about him if he won a title.
Liking a Tweet is one thing, but it’s not like he’s publicly saying his disdain for some Celtics fans.
