Great use of your platform Jaylen! Proud as hell!

[@johnsmith1474]

Proud of what? That a multi-millionaire goes on TV because his shoe sponsor says it will bump up sales? His charity means nothing, will accomplish nothing.

[@kashmando]

@@johnsmith1474 proud of ya mamas head game.

[@everythinglakers1713]

@@johnsmith1474 his charity has done actual evidential change in communities but yeah, u commenting this sure contributes to progress

[@TherealVinnie]

Jaylen is a man of action not just choice words,soft spoken and genuine. A great ambassador for basketball and for funding these communities that are so lacking in support and opportunity. I don’t know if he would want it but this country needs young leaders in government and he is very qualified for the role. Now let’s go get that championship- Celtic Pride.

We people who are literate not filthy rich jocks who refer to MIT as a "culprit."

[@jrzmenhard]

Hope he never leaves Boston, but if he does I know he’ll bring his amazing energy with him!

[@JayMac]

Welp he aint going anywhere. $304mm

[@dumisatonyjohnson8145]

@@JayMac That man can’t dribble He struggles with holding the Ball too often Thus the turnovers in Miami The Celtics have no defense as they got rid of last year’s defensive player of the year Brown is an all star but he’s not a superstar They wasted money

[@stell4r1]

I hope Boston can give Brown what he deserves. Probably the most humble superstar in the league!

[@johnsmith1474]

Yes, a trade for a guy who can dribble.

[@curtiskellam5358]

Jaylen Brown...loving our young, disadvantaged neighbors. Nothing but love, brother.

[@jrdavis1487]

Jaylen man!!! You don't know how much you mean to our community 😊 I'm so grateful that you have a heart for our kids out here that want to do the right thing but don't have the resources. You & your family will always be in my prayers 🙏🏾 😂 Go Juice ❤

[@willread8376]

Jalen brown is a intelligent dude . Those who know him know baskets not his greatest skill. Dude is a natural social scientist and philanthropist .

[@RezzyDocYT]

JB For Three

[@DORAEMON-bw8jk]

Bron can use a sidekick like Jaylen on his Lake Show.

[@kashmando]

He’s clearly sick that Marcus was traded

[@ShawnSiler]

Stop it with the negativity you’re clearly sick in the head

[@francisco2525]

Best thing that could have happened for Brown, Besides Smart bulling him his first years in the NBA and on many occasions not wanting to give Brown the ball when he asked for it. Also when things were not going well, the first to blame others was Smart, when he himself was one of the main problems....

[@jimbeck6613]

Interesting. Almost like he’s marketing himself for that new contract in Boston. Timing of this is peculiar I hope he resigns though

[@claing-nd9tb]

I’m so glad you’ll soon be a minority in this country.

[@shakeemrobinson30]

He already signed it. And he's been doing this long before that

[@blackrocks8413]

the NBA is a joke

[@ShawnSiler]

You’re a joke giving back to kids is a joke something wrong with you

[@jayet46]

Indeed 😂😂😂😂😂

[@legendarytonyclutch]

[@Blessedabove]

You jealous of a RICH BLACK MAN trying to do something positive???....go somewhere!

[@RuReady115]

That face frozen botox already?

[@davidloera2069]

Can you dribble tho

[@ShawnSiler]

That’s for a different post yall need to be ashamed bringing negativity to this post

[@Blessedabove]

He can dribble to the bank 🤡
