In an increasingly homogenous world, finding personalities as curious as that of Jaylen Brown draws a lot of attention and sparks interesting debates. The player for the Boston Celtics speaks languages, plays the piano, reads a lot, and is constantly involved in social causes. His recent statements provoke reflection and encapsulate his way of being.
"We are much more than mere athletes. We should stand up as leaders in our community, philanthropists, individuals called to help others. The system is set up to control how we think. Everyone believes that athletes should focus solely on their competitions, but then you see how in the 10 years following retirement, 60% of NBA players are bankrupt. The system is not working," denounced a Jaylen Brown who wants to engage in this fight.
Furthermore, he took a strong swipe at Nike, criticizing their way of working and stating that he wouldn't sign with them, even if they guaranteed him a spot on the U.S. national team. "Kids cannot enjoy the essence of basketball; they are forced to choose. We should focus on the evolution of the youth, lay foundations in their education. Companies should have less power in the sports industry," affirmed a Jaylen Brown who ignites very potent debates.
