Jaylen Brown turned out to be one of the biggest pillars of support for the Boston Celtics this season. While he had some impressive games to see his team through, Brown failed to take his team ahead in the playoffs. But despite the Celtics not being able to stand up to the expectations, there is no question about his commitment to his team. And that’s why Brown is having all the love from his fans.
In a recent video uploaded on X, Brown interacts with a Celtics fan. The fan gifts Brown a frame containing a part of a jersey worn by Bill Russell. The fan further hails the Celtics star and calls him the ‘modern-day Bill Russell.’
“I feel like you’re the only athlete that isn’t on a beach somewhere. You’re literally in the rain in Boston, supporting your fans that support you,” said the fan.
The fan also added a subtle New York Knicks jab by saying, “Knicks are Bing Bong Byeee!”

Rumors have surfaced about the Celtics opting to cut costs. According to the reports, the front office might consider names like Derrick White, Kristaps Porzingis, and Jrue Holiday for a rumored trade. Surprisingly, one more name seems to have been added to the list—and that is none other than Brown. However, the Celtics’ star was quick to pick up the rumors and responded strongly.
“Boston is home… I’ve been here for ten years of my life. Even though sometimes online or in the media, there’s a lot of noise, once you get out in the community, it’s a lot of love and genuine connections,” said Brown.
Thus, with a lot going on, it now remains to be seen how things pan out in the future.
