"Jaylen Brown is not liked because of his 'im better than you attitude'."

But we have a 22 years old in Minnesota running his mouth about how he's the best player in the world and talking trash to everybody while the media is calling him the face of the league.

Make it make sense, please.

Jay, the NBA did not give Jaylen Brown his contract. The Celtics organization recognizes him and compensated him. The NBA definitely underates him. He should have been all defensive team as well. Btw Stephen A, . Jordan definitely felt he was better than any other basketball player.. You need that swag and attitude to excel in the NBA. In fact, Stephen A feels he is the best sports personality in the media. You want people to hold that against you?

JT does well — “should’ve had 50”
JB does well — “is JB a #1 over Tatum?”
Celtics win close— “should’ve won by more”
Celtics win big— “no competition”
Celtics in a close game but win big at the end— “should’ve never let it be competitive in the first place”

Jaylen Brown has more heart than Jayson Tatum do just the truth

[GoodnersGoodAdventures]

Jaylen Brown deserved it more than Devin Booker this season. The Suns underachieved, in my opinion, during the regular season and really fell flat in the Playoffs.

[drewmeyer]

It’s crazy how Haliburton and Sabonis made it over JB

[diasporachick]

Whoever that source is, the person is INCORRECT. Jaylen is very likable. Watch his interviews. He's smart. compassionate and humble.

[jasonmartinez]

Think about it, Brown has to put up 40 for anyone on this programs, directors and pundits, to talk about him. Yeah, that's pretty underrated

[JLoveTHEJLove]

Yeah take off Booker or Leonard for Brown. No way Suns should have two guys on there when they were a train wreak.

Jason Tatum sometimes shrinks when the lights are brightest…Jaylen Brown plays better when the lights are brightest..seems like he loves the pressure.. 🏀

[Bdk]

SAS: lets knock him down even further and make him more hated by saying what a random person texted me.

Source: trust me bro

I've said it before and it bears repeating. ESPN has a BOSTON PROBLEM...they don't like Boston. Boston had the best record in the league by a WIDE MARGIN and all they talked about was the Lakers, Jokic, Anthony Edwards, the Knicks...I think Bronny James got more press than Boston did.

Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum are arguably the best 1-2 combo in the game. Its something about Boston that ESPN doesn't like to give them and their players their due. Its always some negativity they always attach to Boston. Its not a Jaylen Brown thing, the brother been nice...it's an ESPN Boston thing.

[Rerollful]

You simpletons saying he’s not underrated because a of contract ??? What does that have to do with his performance??? He’s definitely underrated compared to Tatum everyone claims Tatum is better than brown but based on the playoffs brown has been the better player ofc he’s underrated.

[Thankyou.]

If brown got the same shot volume as Tatum he would be first team all nba. Brown is 50% in clutch time Tatum is 36%

[natureredux]

This really isn't about how much Money Brown makes. But how good he is compared to his peers. He's underrated. Period.

[talkfactsNyc]

“I’ve been ignored by Better people “ I’m using that one😂😂

[SpikeShooter]

ESPN just really hates the fact Tatum and Brown are on the same team. They’ve been trying to break them up for years now

[Mr_B]

ESPN talks more about Bronny James, Jordan vs Lebron than they have Jaylen Brown. ESPN is an entertainment company that happens covers sports. The producers of this show and all other shows have an agenda. SAS has way more than enough sway at ESPN that if he wants he could start any segment with whatever he chooses.

I.e. in stead of this segment being "is Jaylen Brown underrated" it could have been "How good is Jaylen Brown" and where would the Celtics be w/o him.

[Shakespeare]

Perk to Jay, "I've been ignored by better people." 😂🔥
