Jaylen Brown's Me-First Mindset Could Hurt the 76ers

Here's my issue with Jalen Brown, and it is not really anything that hasn't been said before about Jalen Brown, but he's supremely talented. He's second on the team right now in Philadelphia and scoring just behind Maxie. He's having a great start to his career. They're nine and two. Everything so far is so good. My issue is, when you sit there and go public on your Twitch stream, whatever the heck the social media platform he was on, when he was asked about his favorite season, and you say your favorite season was the one in which Jason Tatum missed, and you were the guy and it was your team, not the championship, not the NBA Finals MVP, no, the year in which you guys failed, the year that you didn't show up when you really had to when Tatum went down against the Knicks in the playoffs. That was your most favorite season because you were the guy and you were all about you. My issue with Jalen Brown, with Jalen Brown from all of that is when you say something like that. That's when I want you to shut up because you're putting it out there that you're already broadcasting that Jason Tatum, you two don't click. You played without him and you were good. And that's the immaturity. And that's if I was the Sixers, I know they haven't yet, but if it keeps going and he keeps talking, doesn't it become a distraction at some point? Yeah, and I think you've got a guy like LeBron James that may be the one to tell him to shut the **** up. Because the one thing LeBron, LeBron does a lot, but sometimes he's the smartest one in the room and knows when to kind of keep quiet. It's amazing you talk about, like, accolades and stats. I don't know if you saw it. There was a really good interview that's been circulating over the weekend that Mike Green and Clyde Frazier had with Karl-Anthony Towns after his Knicks game. Kareem was one of those guys that was immature. We all saw it when he was young. Jimmy Butler couldn't stand him in Minnesota. And he kind of talked about when you get to the league, you want to show that. He said, you're nice. And what you mean by you're nice is you score. And you want to show everyone in the world, look at me, look at the work that I put in, what I've done in the gym to warrant. My status, my ******* NBA 2K ratings, which is still a thing that guys care about, right? My contract, my making of all NBA, all that stuff. And what KAT said is he figured out eventually none of that ---- matters. It's winning. Mm. It's winning. Like, Karl-Anthony Towns could go and have 30-point-a-game season, and right now he's the best player on New York. I know we're not talking about the Knicks. But when you think about Cat, you're going to think about his transformation in the playoffs of being a team guy, making passes, and defending Wemby in the finals. You're not going to think about Cat getting a 30, 40-point game because it's about winning. And that's the problem with Jalen Brown. He is focused on me, on what I'm doing.
