Jaylen Brown & Kristaps Porzingis: Cookies & Cream, inside the car rides, and stealing JB’s seat

Jaylen Brown and Kristaps Porzingis have been dubbed by Joe Mazzulla as “Cookies & Cream,” and they join Marc and Abby on the VFTR set to dive into their relationship that’s blossomed both on and off the court just months after they became teammates.
Listen to them relive Porzingis getting on the plane as the new guy and stealing JB’s seat (the one JB had held for four years), and the moment they got stuck on the side of the road together at 4 a.m.
They also explain their chemistry on the court and why they get along so well off of it, with hilarious interactions throughout the convo. Oh, and merch? Maybe...
0:30 - Jaylen and Kristaps remember how the “Cookies & Cream” name came about
1:55 - JB tells the story of KP stealing the seat he’d held on the plane for 4 years
4:05 - Car rides, getting stuck on the side of the road at 4 a.m., and doppelgängers
10:07 - How the off-court relationship has led to on-court success
15:12 - Is Cookies & Cream merch on its way?
15:48 - One last chance to describe each other and their friendship

As a huge Celtics fan, This was a very cool and funny interview I really like how Jaylen Brown and Kristaps Porzingis did it together.

[@bones3142]

Jaylen is such an underrated leader, on and off the court. Man I hope he wins a ring and officially becomes a Celtics legend. KP fits in perfectly with this team too. Amazing

JB should visit Latvia next offseason with KP

I truly love the Chemistry between these two.. I don't think in a million year I would have predicted this. JB and KP, Seriously? It also cracks me up multi-millionaires worrying about their old cars not starting.. Shows these two are not changed by the 100s of millions of dollars earned... Which is so refreshing.

We need these types of connections with players off the court, helps create more chemistry. These two started doing duoing post game interviews too, I love it

[@find_the_truth]

That was fun. These two do need their own podcast or show

[@sloppysteaks5813]

The funniest part is like yeah I’m sure they’re boys and are enjoying getting to know each other but the media was one day like “you guys are best friends tell us how it happened” Like you can tell they’re just like “uhhhhhh you know we share a plane and a car and we talk” lmao shit is so extra but it’s harmless

[@emanueltavares353]

[@zacharysneider7602]

This interview had so much potential and I feel like it fell short. The hosts are actually pretty solid but I wish they would just let them talk more. I understand there is a lot they want to hear about in so little time but just let them carry the conversation and it would feel more organic. Overall, though, I think these sit down interviews have only gotten better and I’m excited for more to come ☘️

[@rontardif8740]

It works because both of you believe in one another… TRUST!! Great relationship.., super great. Thanks for the up close and personal. It’s cool to get to know whom are the players we all love …..their heart, their character… What’s not to love about the depth of “Esprit de Corps” this team is saturated with. I love these Celtics even more than the Celtics I grew up with in the late 60s, yup. Hondo, Sam Jones, Bill Russel all of them. I loved that era…

[@aesirgaming1014]

The vibes I get from this Celtics team is just so different from years past. In years past, there often felt like there was some sort of tension between the different players. This year, it feels like they are relaxed and having fun with each other. Focused, but having fun being focused and working hard together. It's a great vibe they give off.

I don’t think neither smoke weed tbh. I know a lot of players do but brown is really in excellent shape kp also. To be top notch fit and in shape I think smoking of any kind is a bad idea I don’t think there smokers I think they care too much about winning. Weed is still hurting your cardio and lungs. 🫁
