Jaylen Brown’s old tweet about a teacher saying he’d end up in jail goes viral for awesome reason

Boston Celtics small forward Jaylen Brown, who dunked all over Giannis Antetokounmpo during Sunday’s Game 1 win for the Celtics, has had a solid NBA career since being drafted third overall in the 2016 NBA Draft.

Which has to annoy some dumb former teacher of his at Joseph Wheeler High School in Marietta, Georgia.

Because during Sunday’s game against the Bucks a 5-year-old tweet to the day of Brown’s went viral. In that tweet Brown explained how a teacher of his predicted that Brown would be in jail in five years.

Instead, five years after that tweet Brown was scoring 19 points in another playoff game.

My teacher said she will look me up in the Cobb county jail in 5 years .. Wow

Twitter loved how wrong that teacher was:

Someone boo that woman! Trying to place a young black man in restrictions when he is trying to achieve a dream.

As a teacher, that is reprehensable, your job is to encourage, teach & form our youth for a positive future!@FCHWPO Jaylen Brown @celtics you proved her wrong! #NBA https://t.co/YzFayZZcgD

I've been a public school educator for 47 years; any teacher who would say that to any kid deserves to have it thrown in their face. All my best to you Jaylen Brown.

I can’t believe teachers can tell kids this and have their be no repercussions
But shout out Jaylen Brown for proving that teacher very much wrong https://t.co/eMMtkNBz3e
