Watch Jaylen Brown Dunk Over A Kid Who Trash-Talked Him
By Matt Dolloff, CBS Boston
BOSTON (CBS) -- Danny Ainge recently told Toucher & Rich that Celtics fans will love No. 3 overall pick Jaylen Brown's "intensity" and "competitiveness." He's already showing a little bit of that - against a bunch of children half his size.
Get a load of this one kid who had the audacity to tell Brown to his face that No. 1 pick Ben Simmons is better than him. Now the boy may be technically correct, but he may not have known that he would trigger his own public humiliation. Better to learn now than later that he can't just mouth off to anyone he wants.
The kid seemed to love it though, as did everyone else. Here's another angle from WBZ:
It remains to be seen how Brown will develop as a basketball player, but he clearly showed a bit of his competitiveness feeling the need to emasculate this kid in front of his friends and peers. If he won't take any lip from a snot-nosed little puke imagine how feisty he'll get with actual pros calling him out.
