Jaylen Brown He didn’t want to add fuel to the fire when he was asked two weeks ago about not calling Team USA. Or, or at least, he didn’t want to shoot anyone from the American team after doing it against Nike, because the Celtics star believes that the multinational, sponsor of the United States, is the one who prevented him from going to Paris. Even after the disposal of Kawhi Leonardbeing his partner in Boston Derrick White the chosen one.
However, Brown undoubtedly fired back at Team USA’s manager, Grant Hill, who insinuated that he was a conspiracy theorist.
“For Grant Hill to call me a conspiracy theorist is disappointing, I’ve been vice president (of the NBA players union) since I was 21 years old and I have a good understanding,” lamented the forward in X.
Hill criticized Brown on Saturday’s show Dan Patrick Show.
“I spoke to his agent. I don’t know if it was before or after those who appeared on Twitter, but yes, I think their idea is that there is a conspiracy theory. I always love a good conspiracy theory, but this is truly a basketball decision and those are hard decisions. But you have to go through this in the FIBA competition, you have to find the right balance and the right pieces on the court that we need,” argued the manager of Team USA.
Jaylen Brown’s controversy with Nike began at the end of 2022, when the Celtics player criticized the X brand for violating Kyrie Irving after the anti-Semitic riot of the controversial base.
“Since when did ethics matter at Nike?” said Brown to X, who then attacked the multinational again for not calling the American team after Leonard was thrown out.
“Nike, is this what we do?” posted the MVP of the last NBA Finals. “I’m not afraid of you or your resources,” Jaylen Brown warned in another message.
Team USA is on a roll, with five wins in its friendlies and one loss Serbia in Olympic debut (84-110). But the issue about Kawhi Leonard and his replacement is still ongoing, between the anger of the Clippers for not calling their star and the anger of Brown. In addition to the controversy over replacing the Jayson Tatum against the Balkan group.
