Jaylen Brown on black inequality, black activism, Kanye West and being black in Boston. Fantastic interview and piece by The NY Times

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

He already gets the spot light he deserves, fukk with with nba fans always saying this dumb shyt. You don't see this type of talk in NFL.


Anyway this was a pretty good interview from him, he went pretty indepth with his answers.

He actually doesn’t

I see Brown is still upset for getting rightfully called out for being antivax

Did he speak on dating a cougar?

What kind of Drink Champs ass question is this?

 

[UnQuantized]

They calling him an antisemite on Celtics subredditNo empathy at all, saying they tired of his complaining.

Sounds like he’s ready to bounce after his contract expires next season.

Get the trade packages ready.

I’d take him on the Knicks.

Okay. Only team that can offer him a Super-Max after he makes one of the 3 all NBA team this year are the Celtics. He’s turning down a 5 years $290 million(35% more than any other team could offer, $101 million) extension because he feels disrespected???? Keep dreaming tho.

Reddit cacs as a whole hate Jaylen now because they feel he co-signed Kanye & Kyrie

Sign and trade?

Do it masai

I've thought about moving to Boston but the stories on the racism and high cost of living have turned me away. Are New Edition, Kevin Garnett and Isaiah Thomas the only black people who seem to love Boston? I'm sure it's more athletes that love Boston but who are they

Sign and trade?

A player that signs a supermax can’t be traded until a year after he signs. If he hated the fanbase that much he would’ve asked for a trade a long time ago. Let’s not act like another team wouldn’t acquire his bird rights on a trade. NBA stars ask for trades all the time.


“when a player signs a super-max contract extension, he becomes ineligible to be traded for one full year.”

There’s other forms of hegemonic racism that are subliminal, such as the inequalities in the education system: the lack of resources and opportunities through local elections and people voting on how much money or resources should go in this area versus this area

Sharpe brotha right there and Boston digit even realize the gem they got in dude

If then Boston cacs didn’t hate him they will now

I’m still trying to figure out how we live in the US and see racism all over this country and people from those areas proudly cheer for those teams but have a hard on for Boston. Like how do people from red states puff out their chest to say this stuff? And I’m not coming at you in particular but it’s just something that I’ve always found strange. I’m from New England and we talk about how racist Massachusetts is all the time but most of us still don’t want to deal with anything involving a place like Florida but the cost. Boston’s racism stands out because it’s the sort of racism you see in the south or Milwaukee with an upfront and loud east coast attitude. That’s really it. You’re no better off being black in 98 percent of metros in America and at least Boston is 25 percent black, other places you have no black folks at all.
