What can we say about star Boston Celtics wing Jaylen Brown‘s ties to the wider Boston community at this stage of his career? The Georgia transplant has made the city his adoptive home and taken the activism in education and humanitarianism with him. He’s helped level the local playing field when it comes to educational programs he’s helped foster and given back to the community in countless ways.
What does this tell us about Brown, the Bostonian? Does it give us clues about the sorts of roots he has put down with the ball club and the city? Can we expect to see him around for some time? Or do the mighty dollar and the vicissitudes of the NBA dictate the terms of the Cal-Berkeley alum’s future as much as anything else?
To get a better understanding of this side of Brown, the hosts of the CLNS Media “Celtics Lab” podcast linked up with the author of his recent SLAM! cover story on Marietta’s favorite son, Deyscha Smith.
