Jaylen is the pinnacle of what all black fathers and mothers should want their kids, who participate in athletics, to be- equally as educated as talented. His presence off the court seems far more powerful
Im blown away with how this interview went.😱 like, this interview speaks sooo much value on both sides. It’s something we all should be proud of. I love it.
Literally a black man was the one that said it about Jaylen brown . So are black ppl holding other black ppl down . Shame on black people for doing this to each other
JB is that dude, from a die hard Celtics fan watching him since he was drafted I couldn't be happier for him. He's worked so hard on his game from a completely raw product to what he is now. Unreal work ethic and dedication to his craft. On top of that just an intelligent, insightful and conscientious man.

not really. He's too conservative.. too quiet. And he's really not that friendly. too political. And there is nothing wrong with that. Only certain types are really marketable. Just being Jalen Brown and being good at basketball is not enough to make people like you. He takes himself too seriously. He needs to relax and realize he's winning.

But he's definitely not more charismatic than Anthony Edwards.. or Ja Morant.. but he has an NBA championship.. and a finals MVP... he should be happy with that.. he makes 60 million a year.. and he's smart.. so how does pointing out his lack of marketability considered "picking on him"?

this is brilliant. i love seeing conversations like this in basketball. make it human, make it dramatic, make it real. these are real people who are so passionate about what they do.
I really respect the way Jaylen has handled this situation. Came directly to both of Stephen As platforms to have a verbal discourse. And it was very respectful but also direct.
@akhi5749 But to be fair no journalist has ever revealed sources. Even JB knows that doing that is unethical. However, Stephen A also didn't need to even put that news out there because it was unnecessary regardless if it was true or not.

Real talk --If someone said i heard or someone said this about you--you would want to know who said it? Hence holding the person who was the messenger accountable for being giving it life. I watched the whole thing...not just this clip! and I do support SAS when he does the right thing...he know he did this man wrong with reading that text out loud in that moment...support can go both ways... in this instance its for Jaylen
So proud to have this man play in my city. An individual that can’t be bought, controlled, and carries himself with integrity. I have an endless amount of respect for Jaylen. What a great role model
Wow!! Never been a huge fan of Brown but always respected his game but now I respect him as a strong intelligent man. He didn't tweet or post something online. He took some time and handled everything extremely well.
The dude is a cry baby I see this totally different but everybody in these comments must be from this era I am from the 90's era this dude is soft as hell crying over this little situation LMAO laughable 200 Million dollar contract and crying about this little situation come on dude
I didn’t know much about Jaylen Brown before this interview, but he just gained a fan. It’s refreshing to see a well spoken, intellectual black man using his voice.
@@DanielFruckinFlowerwas offered an internship by NASA , Chess team in college , top oh his highschool class , fluent in Spanish , masters class in first semester at Berkeley and youngest person to ever lecture at Harvard. Your hating because a accent instead of actually taking a looking at “facts”
Jaylen is a inspiration on and off the basketball court, and addresses the media bias in a respectful and constructive way, so much respect for this man
1. What journalist would commit career su!cide by citing their sources? No one would ever feed them information again. 2. Jaylen doesn’t need protection. I know it’s hard to understand but not everyone is going to like you in life & that’s okay. 3. Jaylen is being overly sensitive about this particular topic. 4. Stephen A. when he spoke on this literally defended Jaylen on TV directly after he said those things. 5. He’s a public figure. The end.
@antione nah number 3 ain't it. I'm not even the biggest JB fan but his credentials at 27 are way too polished for his character to be attacked that way. From the advanced robotics, the possibility of working on spacecraft/equipment the maturity beyond his years and the fact that he had a high school teacher tell him he'd wind up in prison. Dude catches grief for no reason
@@antionerubbish. You can make whatever list you like. The argument remains, do we want NBA players to be fools and puppets than can be used and manipulated or do we want players who despite their talent have integrity and values ?
People just envy this brother. It made me like him more for who he is and what he accomplished. This is how a real high valued man looks like. Much respect 🫡
I agree I believe its someone in the Celtics organization it started with "to smart" comments,he was always on the trade block for reasons I didn't understand, & I was always salty pelicans didn't accept the trade package for him & picks for AD
I love Jaylen Brown’s commitment to being an intellectual leader. The minority community, whether black, brown, blue or whatever, should aspire to be more like him. He speaks well, he’s emotionally mature, and is a tremendous athlete
@@BTCBlizzy the minority isn’t always a figure. Other races have done better for themselves than the black, Hispanic and even Vietnamese community because the cultures aren’t conducive for development. As a male Hispanic I can tell you that you couldn’t try ti assimilate because you were deemed white washed. Just how black cultures frown on a man for trying to better himself and call them uncle tom’s. Our values as minorities are misplaced. That’s the point I’m making
@@marcosvelasquez461 Incorrect. Yes, humans can be kings. Monarchy exists and is a form of government. He’s alluding that JB’s mindset is that of a king. He’s Champion, Finals MVP & CMVP.
Jb handle that very professionally!!!! I already looked at him in a great light but this just had me look at him in such a better light then I looked at him before very mature and very well spoken!!!
Agreed, but it has little to do with race and more to do with compliance. It's like any work place, if you're difficult and don't get along with others, you become the problem. It's a risk assessment. I'm in no way saying JB is a problem or risk. Simply stating my opinion on the matter. I could be wrong.
Man this interview was nba gold. We need more of these. We actually got a glimpse of the real personalities and not just the reporter or the athlete. This was immaculate by both men. This energy alone this dialogue is something we don’t often see as black men and it’s absolutely healthy and healing to see two views be able to coexist without any negativity and respectfulness to each others craft
Man had a NASA internship, don't reduce him to just being articulate please. This is the same guy people said is too smart for basketball and would be bored with the game.
There is nothing more threatening to America society to the world, than an intelligent wealthy black man. That scares the establishment. Proud of JB 👏🏾
Literally zero people care what Jaylen Brown is doing. If he’s doing good good for him and I wish him well but no one is threatened by him or even thinking about him.
Hell yeah JB!!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 This is why we rock with you and support everything you do!!! You always stand with us and up to the cowards! You ARE the Prototype!!!! Heavy is the crown!!! 👑
Thank the Good Lord for guys like Jaylen Brown. In a society where being stupid (or playing stupid) makes you popular/successful, he shines through his intelligence and that's admirable. Props to J-Brown!
umm... fam JB LOVES SAS and he's been clear about that lol. Unless you wanna say he's lying about that, which wouldn't make much sense. He has the moral high ground here, no need for him to resort to lying in order to ingratiate himself to Stephen A. He's talking about the person he believes to be a coward, which is the source. And that's fine
Now when I say this, understand it’s not something I agree with. But Jordan was on another level compared to brown, he had more leeway to be who he was. That’s the way it is 🤷🏼♂️
That draft analysis wasn't wrong, Jaylen is too smart for basketball and he could have been anything that he dedicated himself to but as a basketball player, he uses his platform to promote positive change in the world.
I think it was a pretty easy choice. The NBA gave this man generational wealth, why would he have done anything different? Plus, sports are just a fraction of his life. He can do whatever he wants when he retires
He is not too smart for basketball. The fact that he is smart and chose basketball equals it was and is a smart decision. Basketball at the highest level isn’t played by dummies. The statement ‘too smart’ for something really doesn’t make any sense. No one is too smart for anything in this world. To do anything at a high level requires skill, intellect, and knowledge etc. Just saying
Sorry but he isn't. He has a great IQ on and off the court. What does too smart even mean? A smart man would choose to do this because it pays far more, and still allows him to integrate himself in his other interests like Science etc because of his fame and wealth. He is literally a finals MVP and has a ring, the two highest possible accolades in the NBA
Around 9:35 when Stephen basically said you won’t find out who the source is stuck out to me. Jaylen said he found out who the other source was from 2016 draft, but SAS saying he won’t find out about the other source sounds very confident about that because SAS won’t snitch on himself.
It all boils down to them fearing Jaylen Brown. It's scary when someone doesn't fear you, seems calculating, has a large platform with the potential to be even more influential, doesn't speak much but when they do it's highly thoughtful, articulate and intelligent. That is someone who is perceived as power/force. So of course they'll attack who you are, you are a threat my guy lol.
So why is crying about it. ? Just stay on your business and keep it moving. Don't be surprised when you criticize Nike and they don't want to F with you..
@7:06 - Stephen A it’s cowardly because they can’t say it with their chest! Don’t be unamed! Step out and show yourself when speaking on the man’s character. No integrity on your part as well for sharing gossip.
Yeah agreed. If you aren't willing to put your name and reputation on the line when you have "truth" to speak it is very cowardice. Edit: anytime someone wanted to tell me something bad about another person, something they've done or said (especially about me) i tell them if they don't want me to confront the person they are talking about, please don't tell me about them. You're involving me but don't want me to get involved and I don't like that.
An unnamed source saying " JB is Not marketable because he's smart, because he's outspoken, he's principled and is not easily manipulated." should be problematic to SAS and he should have stated it that way. But he knows what he did and won't admit to it. JB completely overstands this and handled it like a CHAMP!!!
The media dislikes Jaylen Brown because he is different from the rest of other NBA stars. He has his own mindset and personality that the media cannot influence 🤷🏻♂️
dint know about that, thijk media jist trying stir up stories fur business of not him it will be next guy . i uuess ut effects his image so hr had tj go kn tv n do this or kormslly just ignore it
Today's journalist.... including SAS....lack integrity and are controlled. ESPN/Disney controls SAS. He can deny it all he wants...those all FACTS. He isn't exempt. Today's journalist follows the agenda of the media network from higher up
Stephen A reads a random text talking about this man is unlikable with a bad attitude and instead of stating loudly how wrong it is to minimize him for being a strong black man with morals, he let’s it marinade for 5 months like it’s a fact, therefore alright to blackball him. Now that SAS is being checked, he’s back tracking like he has been vehemently defending JB the whole time… SAS is a whole clown car 🤡 🦝

Lol growth. He was born a genius. Bro is the man and has been since birth. He wants to help the world and I can't believe SAS thought he could trick this man with words
@@cmattil he said as a player and a person. He definitely grew as a player. He also did make mistakes in his career, signing with Kanye as the man was going clinically insane and saying he loves Hitler wasn't a great career move. He also beefed with Kyrie and Smart so he wasn't the best teammate at times. Nobody insulted him we all love JB but ease up off his nuts
@@reedtheroom9580sas is a sellout
As someone from Boston I gotta admit that Jaylen is about the community and is my favorite player for what he does both on and off the court.
A brave, beautiful man. Thank you for following up on a professional level. Your respectful manner shines throughout this interview.
Man... It's so refreshing to hear an educated, professional and articulated Black man. No hood talk, straight business.
Right, because they're usually dumb and have 80 IQs.
Facts. The way someone articulates their thoughts goes a long way
There are a lot of these educated, professional, and articulated black men, but they don't have the platform like this. They need institutions to support them so they can display their brilliance and represent us. I want to figure out how to help them represent us...
Language is a form of oppression, not using slang or even cuss words doesn’t make you smarter than the next man.

@@ayodelejones5029 Yeah, you must be right. I just didn’t see anything exceptional in the interview to warrant goosebumps personally. Just a standard Jaylen Brown interview where he seemed like himself and talks in his usual manner.

this is brilliant. i love seeing conversations like this in basketball. make it human, make it dramatic, make it real. these are real people who are so passionate about what they do.
I really respect the way Jaylen has handled this situation. Came directly to both of Stephen As platforms to have a verbal discourse. And it was very respectful but also direct.
And SAS seemed upset and didn’t reveal any source and also tried to pathetically protect that source when JB called it cowardice
@akhi5749 But to be fair no journalist has ever revealed sources. Even JB knows that doing that is unethical. However, Stephen A also didn't need to even put that news out there because it was unnecessary regardless if it was true or not.
@@akhi5749Exactly.
The like is not for ESPN or for Stephen A. It’s for Jaylen!!
I love the broken record of his message- “hold you accountable”
You realize he said he didn’t have a problem with Stephen and it’s not Stephen’s word I swear y’all really complain and try to hate on everything 😅
@@dounglessco --and you do realize that this is my like? --no complaint here...just support for Jaylen

@@gqgymrat6816 and you ended with the “hold you accountable” he’s a reporter he has to report the info giving brown was only mad first take was used not that Stephen a said it which I think most of you completely missed
@@dounglessco --You miss the anonymous source part. The accountability is for his platform. you cannot go out and speak on a man's character based off of a text that you don't give a source and expect not accept accountability that that is just reporting...report on facts not opinion. all i am saying is that SAS better than that and should be held to a higher standard than some start up reporter with no platform. Real talk --If someone said i heard or someone said this about you--you would want to know who said it? Hence holding the person who was the messenger accountable for being giving it life. I watched the whole thing...not just this clip! and I do support SAS when he does the right thing...he know he did this man wrong with reading that text out loud in that moment...support can go both ways... in this instance its for Jaylen
100% I want to meet Jaylen Brown now! He just climbed to the top of my nba fan list 💪🏿
“I think it’s deeper than rap” is insane 0:46 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Everything is deeper than Rap. It's just a music genre.
@@AquarianAngelit was a metaphor
Hip hop is a sport. He's saying it's deeper than sports. I love when idiots get the top comment
So proud to have this man play in my city. An individual that can’t be bought, controlled, and carries himself with integrity. I have an endless amount of respect for Jaylen. What a great role model
Wow!! Never been a huge fan of Brown but always respected his game but now I respect him as a strong intelligent man. He didn't tweet or post something online. He took some time and handled everything extremely well.
The dude is a cry baby I see this totally different but everybody in these comments must be from this era I am from the 90's era this dude is soft as hell crying over this little situation LMAO laughable 200 Million dollar contract and crying about this little situation come on dude

I didn’t know much about Jaylen Brown before this interview, but he just gained a fan. It’s refreshing to see a well spoken, intellectual black man using his voice.

Jaylen is a inspiration on and off the basketball court, and addresses the media bias in a respectful and constructive way, so much respect for this man
I will stand with my community "In this life and the next!" I will support Jaylen Brown in anything that he does.❤
Stephen A. is quick to protect his "source.". But didn't protect Jaylen Brown, who didn't say or trouble anyone.
He don’t owe Jaylen Brown anything tf
1. What journalist would commit career su!cide by citing their sources? No one would ever feed them information again.
2. Jaylen doesn’t need protection. I know it’s hard to understand but not everyone is going to like you in life & that’s okay.
3. Jaylen is being overly sensitive about this particular topic.
4. Stephen A. when he spoke on this literally defended Jaylen on TV directly after he said those things.
5. He’s a public figure. The end.
@antione nah number 3 ain't it. I'm not even the biggest JB fan but his credentials at 27 are way too polished for his character to be attacked that way. From the advanced robotics, the possibility of working on spacecraft/equipment the maturity beyond his years and the fact that he had a high school teacher tell him he'd wind up in prison. Dude catches grief for no reason
@@antionerubbish.
You can make whatever list you like.
The argument remains, do we want NBA players to be fools and puppets than can be used and manipulated or do we want players who despite their talent have integrity and values ?
@@antionethank you. I wish people would grow up
“In this life and the next” is absolute word play. Such an intentional statement to make.
Islam big on next life. He’s letting the source know I will catch u there.
Yeahs it’s from gladiator
People just envy this brother. It made me like him more for who he is and what he accomplished. This is how a real high valued man looks like. Much respect 🫡
We're not responsible for what they lack in design is so profound. That went over a lot of people heads. Salute to the young brother. Well said
A truth told, so eloquently.
I've been a Celtics fan since 07. Jaylen Brown is a stand-up guy and amazing player. I will never get why the media disrespect him.
he's 👁👁
That’s the internet for you
Look at the game.... That's why
I agree I believe its someone in the Celtics organization it started with "to smart" comments,he was always on the trade block for reasons I didn't understand, & I was always salty pelicans didn't accept the trade package for him & picks for AD
@@Bdog_45wth does tht mean? lol sorry if im out of the emoji loop ig 😅
I love Jaylen Brown’s commitment to being an intellectual leader. The minority community, whether black, brown, blue or whatever, should aspire to be more like him.
He speaks well, he’s emotionally mature, and is a tremendous athlete
It’s not about to be the minority in a few years buddy. Do your googles.
@@BTCBlizzy the minority isn’t always a figure. Other races have done better for themselves than the black, Hispanic and even Vietnamese community because the cultures aren’t conducive for development. As a male Hispanic I can tell you that you couldn’t try ti assimilate because you were deemed white washed. Just how black cultures frown on a man for trying to better himself and call them uncle tom’s.
Our values as minorities are misplaced. That’s the point I’m making
Stephen A. turtled right from the get-go.
Pure class Jaylen.
JB is a king. He's a player who will be doing great things long after he retires
He is doing great things NOW.
Only Jesus is King
No human is a king. It's horrible when parents tell they're children that.
@@marcosvelasquez461
Incorrect. Yes, humans can be kings. Monarchy exists and is a form of government. He’s alluding that JB’s mindset is that of a king. He’s Champion, Finals MVP & CMVP.
You’re completely wrong. Any man with the right mindset of leadership can be a king. However, there is only one King of Kings and the is Jesus Christ.
Imagine another human telling you they don’t like someone because they cannot be easily manipulated
Exactly, Steven A could of kept that to HIMSELF
That human is Nike
People like that are looking for a reason not to like you, maybe because they hate humanity.
normally i just ignore it n move on n pat no attention to it
It's called being a chosen one. There's a lot of us here on TH-cam. Our comments usually get deleted.
S.A.S. is his own unnamed source and JB knows that. Bet!
😂😂
I agree.
Exactly. Thought I was the only one who saw it. He even tried to defend this 'source'.
You could tell he was definitely triggered by the word cowardice
Yep, Got'em!
This is the best sit-down that SAS has done in a long time and it’s very telling it’s with J.B. Love this conversation.
Jb handle that very professionally!!!! I already looked at him in a great light but this just had me look at him in such a better light then I looked at him before very mature and very well spoken!!!
They hate it when a Black Man is educated and not a coward. Stands on all 10 toes. Protect Jaylen Brown.
Agreed, but it has little to do with race and more to do with compliance. It's like any work place, if you're difficult and don't get along with others, you become the problem. It's a risk assessment.
I'm in no way saying JB is a problem or risk. Simply stating my opinion on the matter. I could be wrong.
Man this interview was nba gold. We need more of these. We actually got a glimpse of the real personalities and not just the reporter or the athlete. This was immaculate by both men. This energy alone this dialogue is something we don’t often see as black men and it’s absolutely healthy and healing to see two views be able to coexist without any negativity and respectfulness to each others craft
Respect to him as a person outside the court for respectfully confronting and saying his peace
JB is so well articulated. Talk your talk !!!
Man had a NASA internship, don't reduce him to just being articulate please. This is the same guy people said is too smart for basketball and would be bored with the game.
@@xelaander8429 I understand he's smart. Being articulate and intellectual aren't mutually exclusive
The way he expressed that was flawless.
Can we have this same love for Kyrie Irving
Jaylen Brown is one of my favorite people...he is a true stand-up guy that's thinking process at his age is well beyond his years!
Knicks fan but I LIKE and appreciate this young man tremendously!!
Shoutout to Jaylen Brown. Intelligent brother for real
There is nothing more threatening to America society to the world, than an intelligent wealthy black man. That scares the establishment. Proud of JB 👏🏾
Literally zero people care what Jaylen Brown is doing. If he’s doing good good for him and I wish him well but no one is threatened by him or even thinking about him.
Come on man. Get a grip
@@cparksaffluentEvidently the unnamed source is! Black Wall Street!
@@cparksaffluent the Bigot society on a whole is MORE concerned about what he will be doing AFTER his athletic career ends!
@@KathrynFloyd-sl1pz If you knew what that was you'd realize what a ridiculous statement you just made.
Hell yeah JB!!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 This is why we rock with you and support everything you do!!! You always stand with us and up to the cowards! You ARE the Prototype!!!! Heavy is the crown!!! 👑
I always liked how JB carries himself.
Thank the Good Lord for guys like Jaylen Brown. In a society where being stupid (or playing stupid) makes you popular/successful, he shines through his intelligence and that's admirable. Props to J-Brown!
It is cowardice. An unnamed source that remains to be unnamed is cowardice. If you feel that way, you should want to stand on it.
Facts and that's goes on all the time guys own teammates will talk bad about them and than tell the reporter it's off the record
Facts. That’s what makes it cowardice. Hiding to protect their job, their money. If you can’t stand on it, keep it to yourself.
Well if that source is Jayson Tatum then SAS can’t really say anything because that’ll destroy their team. So it could be one of those situations.
U give smith a pass for trash behaviour
Depends if its SA I completely disagree
Jaylen has been my favorite player since he entered the league, so glad to see him on more platforms and so happy to hear him speak
Jaylen Brown mentioned following God on a Disney platform? 😮 respect, brotha
This is not First Take on ESPN it’s the Stephen A Show on TH-cam
@@StunnersSquadEntPeople who watch ESPN also watch his show.
Whoever their God is
You act like its a big deal 😂 its not.
@@mindhunter8772This is not a Disney platform
No way he came on air to press him Abt it😭😭😭
He did, and I also think he thinks Stephen A made the whole thing up
@@Johnny.Naturalwho's your source?
I mean Stephen A said it on air now so it’s only right to put that out the same way Stephen A did
It’s his right to talk on the subject matter,so please spare us
@@Johnny.Naturalnaw he don’t think that. We know he didn’t.
Jaylen is a very intelligent and articulate brother, borderline a genius
Too smart for his own good
How u know
@@SkiLILsthat's why he's not liked. Ppl want him to shut up and dribble
Knowing his background I think you can definitely remove the borderline lol
@SCOOBYGD nah they want low iq hoopers like LeBron to su and dribble. Bron really quiet about diddy tho
Jaylen Brown is the epitome of black excellence. Great job young man 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾
When JB said "i just wanna say" " to them " i knew he was talking about sas 😂
umm... fam JB LOVES SAS and he's been clear about that lol. Unless you wanna say he's lying about that, which wouldn't make much sense. He has the moral high ground here, no need for him to resort to lying in order to ingratiate himself to Stephen A. He's talking about the person he believes to be a coward, which is the source. And that's fine
“I wanna let them know, I had a great summer” 🤣🔥🔥🔥🔥👌🏼
The unnamed source basically dissed Brown for the same stuff we praise Jordan for
They pick n choose. Selective outrage
Now when I say this, understand it’s not something I agree with. But Jordan was on another level compared to brown, he had more leeway to be who he was. That’s the way it is 🤷🏼♂️
@@SamUHellsit would be a white dude to say that, think about that for a second 🤔
To be fair, Jordan never had political opinions...I think that's the difference...remember "Republicans buy sneakers" from Last Dance?
Amen, Brother Jaylen Brown. Stand Tall! Both of my sons play basketball (in College and Middle School), I hope they get to meet you one day.
Right on, bruh, I hope they will have the opportunity, too!!!
They tried to Kyrie my man Jaylen Brown. Stand for something or fall for anything. Respect
We need to show this same love for Kyrie Irving .They pitied him when he did it
That draft analysis wasn't wrong, Jaylen is too smart for basketball and he could have been anything that he dedicated himself to but as a basketball player, he uses his platform to promote positive change in the world.
I think it was a pretty easy choice. The NBA gave this man generational wealth, why would he have done anything different? Plus, sports are just a fraction of his life. He can do whatever he wants when he retires
@@audy9819you saying what he said lol
He is not too smart for basketball. The fact that he is smart and chose basketball equals it was and is a smart decision. Basketball at the highest level isn’t played by dummies. The statement ‘too smart’ for something really doesn’t make any sense. No one is too smart for anything in this world. To do anything at a high level requires skill, intellect, and knowledge etc. Just saying
Exactly @@roblenard
Sorry but he isn't. He has a great IQ on and off the court. What does too smart even mean? A smart man would choose to do this because it pays far more, and still allows him to integrate himself in his other interests like Science etc because of his fame and wealth. He is literally a finals MVP and has a ring, the two highest possible accolades in the NBA
Around 9:35 when Stephen basically said you won’t find out who the source is stuck out to me. Jaylen said he found out who the other source was from 2016 draft, but SAS saying he won’t find out about the other source sounds very confident about that because SAS won’t snitch on himself.
True that. All to easy to run that narrative to protect yourself.
RIGHT SAS IS THE SOURCE!!!!
🎯🎯🎯
Yea nobody but him said that about Jaylen 😂
SAS is the “Source”
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Way to go Jay, the ones who know love you. I could feel the backsliding from Stephen A through the interview.
It all boils down to them fearing Jaylen Brown. It's scary when someone doesn't fear you, seems calculating, has a large platform with the potential to be even more influential, doesn't speak much but when they do it's highly thoughtful, articulate and intelligent. That is someone who is perceived as power/force. So of course they'll attack who you are, you are a threat my guy lol.
And It’s Many Coming Behind Him
Here's the mythical "they" lmao
💯
@paralleluniverse99 if you don't believe in powers behind closed doors you naive.
So why is crying about it. ? Just stay on your business and keep it moving. Don't be surprised when you criticize Nike and they don't want to F with you..
@7:06 - Stephen A it’s cowardly because they can’t say it with their chest! Don’t be unamed! Step out and show yourself when speaking on the man’s character. No integrity on your part as well for sharing gossip.
Yeah agreed. If you aren't willing to put your name and reputation on the line when you have "truth" to speak it is very cowardice.
Edit: anytime someone wanted to tell me something bad about another person, something they've done or said (especially about me) i tell them if they don't want me to confront the person they are talking about, please don't tell me about them. You're involving me but don't want me to get involved and I don't like that.
💯
Spot on it 👍
If it is worth saying it’s worth sharing.
Or even, why tell Stephen A and not Jaylen Brown himself why he's not liked, whether by you or anyone else.
WE NEED MORE JAYLEN BROWNS..!!! ✊🏾👊🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Continue on your mission MR. BROWN. I support you.
These two can have such a mature, smooth flowing and honest conversation.
An unnamed source saying " JB is Not marketable because he's smart, because he's outspoken, he's principled and is not easily manipulated." should be problematic to SAS and he should have stated it that way. But he knows what he did and won't admit to it. JB completely overstands this and handled it like a CHAMP!!!
Bingo!
For those of us in the world afraid of conflict, JB just gave a master class in radical candor.
I loved it! It's totally true that people hide behind "constructive criticism" to attack your character...
I stand and rock with Jaylen Brown. In my eyes, he embodies what I truly want and expect from an entertainer with such a large and powerful platform
The media dislikes Jaylen Brown because he is different from the rest of other NBA stars. He has his own mindset and personality that the media cannot influence 🤷🏻♂️
dint know about that, thijk media jist trying stir up stories fur business of not him it will be next guy . i uuess ut effects his image so hr had tj go kn tv n do this or kormslly just ignore it
The problem with “journalistic integrity” in this case is, how do we know the journalist is telling the truth?
Today's journalist.... including SAS....lack integrity and are controlled. ESPN/Disney controls SAS. He can deny it all he wants...those all FACTS. He isn't exempt. Today's journalist follows the agenda of the media network from higher up
We don't.
Indeed
“Stephen A is so full of it.” - UNNAMED SOURCE😂
HE IS..NEVER LIKED HIM AS A JOURNALIST
Stephen A reads a random text talking about this man is unlikable with a bad attitude and instead of stating loudly how wrong it is to minimize him for being a strong black man with morals, he let’s it marinade for 5 months like it’s a fact, therefore alright to blackball him.
Now that SAS is being checked, he’s back tracking like he has been vehemently defending JB the whole time… SAS is a whole clown car 🤡 🦝
What’s he full of? What he’s saying makes sense. They don’t like Kyrie either for similar reasons
