They don't like Brown because that's one brother they can't control. He back Kyrie as well. Do not tell me you left the Finals MVP off because his teammates don't want him there. You see see how they try to divide us. Bullshit!

[@terriw919fyi]

These hosts love to manufacture drama because it gives them something to talk about. They're part of the problem.

Jaylen been getting snubbed his whole career.. All-star.. All-NBA.. team USA.. was great in the ECF two years ago.. it’s always who can they control.. who’s the sell out

[@26pctfrom3]

The Celtics spew confusing misinformation about their star that they're unwilling to market ( Jaylen Brown ). In other words the expendable star, Jaylen Brown gets the negative media spin while the teams pet player ( Tatum ) gets to represent his country & be labeled the teams " best player & leader " while simultaneously riding Jaylen's aggression & leadership to a championship. Yeah, Tatum lead the team in points, assists & rebounds, but every time the TEAM needed something done they looked to Jaylen who delivered but the media is insistent on giving Tatum the Credit. The problem with Tatum is IMPACT you can score 40-45 shooting 100 bricks @ 28% from 3 & impact the game less than the guy who takes on the teams toughest defensive assignment and is also still reliable enough to go get you 20-23 points a game on great efficiency. Tatum's lack of aggression at his size & with his ability is truly underwhelming and unimpressive imo...!!! & It's the front office mishandling the team pecking order. Tatum has a higher scoring capability he has the capacity to score higher points totals but his production isn't reliable like Jaylen's is. Especially in Big games Jaylen is consistently more impactful in Big games yet the front office insists on featuring Tatum because Jaylen's Societal stance is problematic for the Empire and all of its many mechanisms of power & control such as EMPLOYMENT.... What Jaylen Brown is experiencing is a direct result of his attentiveness to reality & inability to accept the falsified reality expected to be consumed by everyday Americans who have bought into the hiSTORY of America Tatum accepts the BS, Brown doesn't & that affects company profits because companies are opposed to truth because lies are what the society was built on...!! 🤷‍♂️💯

Wouldn’t be surprised if some guys on the team didn’t want him. Jb doesn’t seem super tight with a lot of them outside of maybe ant. The Tatum thing is ridiculous though

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

I don't even think he believes what he's saying, kinda. He just knows it's his job to come up with some kind of narrative that will piss everyone off. He's literally trying to suggest that Tatum intervened and told the USA team not to bring Jalen Brown on. It's just ridiculous on its face.

[@stickman1742]

Cute that Murray thinks that the players/employees have that kind of power to block the guy that might say something to embarrass the establishment. That they would even care that much. This is about money and that is controlled by the NBA and all of its key partners like Nike. They know that can't control what Brown will say and they do not want him there. And they don't give a crap what any other players say. The owners write the paychecks and all the players know it. Players understand it, but the power lies above.

[@seangoodwin3046]

Isaiah Thomas got blocked by the players. I'm not saying that is the reason here, but it's happened.

[@HayastAnFedayi]

I’ll ask the same general question I posted to Beetle and Zo’s clip and that is I don’t get why this is an issue all of sudden, there was talk during the finals that Kawahi might be dropping out and that White was being looked at as his replacement, and not a peep from anyone then…what changed between now and then?

[@IM-hx7jt]

It’s the offseason and they have nothing to talk about, that’s what changed 😂

[@dpistons149]

3 Players get picked from Celtics and the finals/east finals MVP doesnt get picked and its no big deal?

[@HayastAnFedayi]

@@dpistons149 Its not that its no big deal, it's that this has been in the works before the finals ended, Leonard was on the fence because of his knee and it came out over a month ago that if he were to drop out that Derrick White was going to be his replacement...so yeah it wasn't a big deal then so why all of sudden is it now?

[@scottinnh88]

Brown is the better player he should have been in.

Murray's directly over the target.

[@urj800]

Jalen Brown is a person who understands more than you think …. I’m sure he isn’t crying in his bag

[@miguelcarrera6421]

I think Murray is projecting how he feels about Brown, the players just wanna win and Brown gives them a better chance than White does.

[@misaelmiranda4833]

I don’t think it has anything to do with DWhite being the one picked. Most likely, he knows the reason why he wasn’t picked and reacted to that.

[@nostalgia4infiniti850]

Murray is the absolute worst kind of guy to be around. Like just don't leave your house man if everything is too much for you.

[@aieshadaniels6104]

My #NBA selections to win GOLD for #TeamUSA would be: Holiday; Curry; Durant/Tatum; James; Davis & White; Edwards; Brown; Tatum/ Durant; Adebayo & Insurance: Maxey & Turner Start: Guards: Holiday & Curry; Wings: Tatum & James Center: Davis Depth: Guards: White & Brown; Wing: Edwards Front Court: BAM & Turner Insurance: Tyrese Maxey over Tyrese Haliburton for Defense, Facilitation & Shooting! Of course Purely Honor is KD as he is lately injury prone! Joel, Booker and Haliburton should focus on getting better for their season, no excuses next season for them all of their teams rosters were bolstered!

[@Carpenter__]

This show sucks

[@jsalas5400]

My question is how do we even know he was being considered. This isn't Nikes team, it's Lebron's team and frankly I don't see the need of adding brown as either a sg or forward.....the team has LeBron, Tatum, Durant for forwards nd Davis and embiid for centers. And the guards are stacked with or without white. Where's the playtime for brown gonna be?

[@jamess2664]

You must work for Nike or hate Lebron. You clearly trying to deflect. Nike is a major sponsor for the Olympics. Jaylen Brown spoke out against Nike. Jaylen Brown also removed the Nike swoosh from his shoes. You don't think the advertisers know that. That's why Jaylen called out Nike. Jaylen and Lebron have never had issues.

[@claydoscope]

@jsalas So following your logic, why did they even tap Kawhi in the first place? By the way Its not adding, its replacing. And Jaylen Brown as a replacement to Kawhi per se, is a valid arguement. Jaylen would have been a better replacement in my opinion, because he is a good combo guard/forward and a 2 way player so his style of play is closer to that of Kawhi. I bet, Derrick White would be lucky if he is given a playing time anyways since they are stacked at guard position as you said.

[@jsalas5400]

@@jamess2664 why would I be either of those things lol 😂 nor did I say LeBron and jaylen had issues lmao. LeBron and Leonard are bros, Leonard never had any business being on the roster as he's been hurt forever, it was purely his last chance to get gold and now adding white they are adding a team need. They don't need another centerpiece

[@jsalas5400]

@@claydoscope cause LeBron and kwahi bros. Leonard doesn't have many years left to get in an Olympics . And as to why they chose white over brown, yup it's cause he wears Nikes and not just any Nikes, Lebron's Nikes. And besides all that kawhi wasn't going to play, he's been injured since the last two weeks of the season if he wants to have any life this year he's gotta recover and save his legs, him being in there was purely to get him gold. Now it's about building a better team

[@jflannez19]

Murray is 100% correct

[@eking5715]

They could have picked a player from 29 other teams. The fact that they picked a Celtics player makes this attack on Jaylen Brown feels so direct. Why did Derrick White accept this spot? Everyone knew the situation.
