Jaylen Brown: Stick to yourself, different choices between basketball and life

Recently, the remarks of Celtics star Jaylen Brown on social media have sparked a public opinion craze and become the focus of US media coverage. His series of actions not only showed a unique personal charm, but also triggered in-depth thinking from fans and industry insiders on athletes' values ​​and career planning.

On the Big Tigger Morning Show, Brown revealed that he resolutely rejected the $50 million sneaker endorsement contract provided by Nike. He said bluntly: "There are many restrictions on the contract. Once you make controversial remarks or make so-called disturbances to the company's ecology, the contract may be terminated. This is undoubtedly depriving me of my right to speak out. I am unwilling to compromise my voice for anything, so I decisively refuse." The huge $50 million contract was abandoned like waste paper in Brown's eyes. This courage is really amazing. This move not only sounded a wake-up call for other stars, but also demonstrated his noble character of sticking to principles. In sharp contrast, Leonard was accused of using any means to pursue interests. Although Brown seemed to have lost huge benefits at the time, and may even be unrecognized by some people because of his refusal to endorsement, in the long run, he sticks to himself and can do well both on and off the court and not lose his direction due to temporary gains.

In addition to his firm choice in commercial endorsement, Brown also has unique insights into his career. Just yesterday, he was asked whether he would have a chance to join the home team Hawks in the future when he was on the Big Tigger Show, a blog of the Hawks. Brown gave an open answer: "No one can say it, I understand what you mean, my grandma thought so too. We discussed this matter (return to the Hawks to play), yes, but who knows, let's take a look." These words seem ambiguous, but they are enough to arouse infinite reverie. Brown's statement is of great significance to the city of Atlanta, which is eager to have an elite home player. Born in Marietta, Georgia, he is closely connected with his hometown. His grandmother is the core figure in his life. Every time he goes home, his grandmother is always his first stop. This strong hometown emotion may have an important impact on his future choices.

From the Eagles' perspective, the team is in a critical watershed. In the past seven years, the Hawks have bet their destiny on Trae Young. Although Trae Young has many highlights, due to some of his own shortcomings, the team has always been unable to break through the bottleneck of the Eastern Conference Finals. This summer, Eagles management and Trae Young were hesitant about renewal and ultimately failed to reach an agreement. If the team still fails to achieve ideal results in the new season, the Hawks may have to make a difficult decision to give up Trae Young. And Brown, after the hardships of the past few seasons, has grown into the league's top offense and defense small forward. In the Celtics' championship season, as the second in command of the team, he showed extremely high stability on both offense and defense, and even at many critical moments, he was more reliable than Tatum. The Hawks have enough chips to get Brown through the trade or be patient to wait for him to become an unrestricted free agent. Once Brown joins, his championship experience and passion for basketball will undoubtedly inject new vitality into the Hawks and bring new hope for basketball to the city.

Jaylen Brown, with his courage to stick to principles and his unique thinking about his career, has become a different landscape in the basketball world. Where will his future go? Whether it is continuing to write a legend in the Celtics or returning to his hometown to open a new chapter, it is highly anticipated by fans. He interpreted with his own actions that in the basketball stage, in addition to pursuing victory and wealth, there are more precious things worth sticking to.
