Jaylen Brown NBA All-Star Media Availability

European cities on my bucket list um I’ve been to a lot of them um cities though not just the country let me think uh I still haven’t been to the south of France so I’ll say that absolutely I think uh we’ve been able to have a lot of success we haven’t had the

Ultimate level of success but hopefully that’ll be this year um but it’s been great you know learning process being a part of winning um stuff like that and and and building a culture and a legacy in Boston and it’s been fun to do with my my co-partner

JT I would say so yeah I think just overall experience I think you know just going through you know ups and downs disappointments high expectations low expectations I think it’s cultivated our minds to where it’s at now that it’s about something bigger like so willing to sacrifice I’m willing to sacrifice

Whatever it takes to get to the ultimate goal are you talking about the team or me got you I’m sorry I don’t understand the question yeah oh oh uh I mean I think the league is getting what they what they wanted they wanted you know higher scoring games you

Know create more things that could be marketed I think that’s a part of the business uh a part of it like as a purist or you know for the purity of the game I would I would definitely like to see some more defensive rules that could

You know be on the side of the defender it kind of seems like it’s hard to guard anybody these days that’s why I give such respect to the ones who are committed to that side of the ball because right now we just we just pay attention to the ones who could score

The ball those are the ones who are considered our best players we completely ignore defense like it’s not even a part of how good of a player is it’s just about how good of a offensive player that that’s how we talk about our game these days and you know and it’s a

Part of you guys media fans like you guys set the tone for that you know y’all should start praising guys who who play both sides of the basketball a lot more and then maybe some things will change what NBA player um I was a big mamore fan growing

Up I’m from Georgia so if I had to say that I would say myam Moore and I’ll say diamond the shields kind of big guards you know can play in the post tall Wings can shoot the ball play score from all all levels uh those are my two girls right there

For sure uh nimi that’s myal that’s my brother you know um nimi I’ve been able to get a good relationship with him neimi has been growing and developing we’ve been putting him in there doing what he’s asked to do has a lot of potential yeah I’m I’m I’m in my

Athletic Prime right now so I feel feel good when it comes to to to dunking I think it’s a art form and I think that you know when it comes to dunking on somebody I think I’m one of the best to to ever do it so I’m looking forward to

It I think it’s just an extension of like the the art form of Duncan and I’m excited that snowfall of power that’s I’mma go snowfall big dog you who’s the underrated player in the league I think Derek white I think Derek white has been uh you know excelling his

Game you know at a rapid pace so it’s been kind of hard for fans to kind of keep up with but D whiteing ball man you let him get high he can go for 30 any night score the ball you know guards plays both sides I’m GNA say Derek

White I don’t know I’m sorry I can’t answer that one team Ah that’s tough it’s some good teams man if I would say the one team that I would say I would say the Clippers and a player um joic um yeah I think there’d be conversations going on uh and stuff like

That I think Grant Hill is kind of floating around here um so looking forward to talking to him um I think it’ll be honor I think we got a lot of guys who want to compete and I think that’s the the overall mission you know wanting to compete willing to sacrifice

And and whatever it takes for a team to win you know I think so I think it should be fun I think it should be exciting and and it would be honor for me absolutely I think tyres is an absolute star in this league and he’s continuing

To get better you know he got to play a little defense but I love him I love the guy he’s uh pass first unselfish um and he plays the game the right way you know he puts it with a smile on his face I’m a big fan of Tyrese and he’s a good

Friend of mine if I play football what position would I play so I come from a football family I play all types of positions um but I think I would play wide receiver are you Tyreek am I faster than Tyreek H it’s it’s tough cuz you know what I

Want to say on the inside is is yeah cuz that’s just type of guy am could I guard him oh yeah I’m sitting on that yeah cuz uh cuz Tyreek he like he like to go he don’t like to go to the inside he want

To go to the outside so I’m I’m I just got to get the win the foot race and then I don’t know what I’m talking about right [Laughter] now say it again where would I be Ah that’s tough you know I love to travel so you know I

Think I’m uh I think I’mma head to PR Puerto Rico this time um after this but you know maybe it would have been there but I love to travel so anytime anybody from anywhere invites me and pays for the trip uh I’ll love to go it’s tough you got to it’s a fight

It’s a mentality to be able to focus for long durations of time I think that’s the the chall alleng in in sports and to have that open ultimate focus cuz like when you get deep in the playoffs the teams who whoever’s Focus breaks first is going to be the team that loses so

Like I try to challenge my team throughout the regular season is when you build the endurance for that and I think we’ve been doing a good job this year this has been the best year in terms of focus and mentality that we’ve had so far so um I’m I’m feeling strong

And confident about our team heading into the playoffs uh say that again front runner yeah it’s tough to keep up I feel like they moved the bar whatever yeah but we got some great players and you know I played with one of them JT should

Be at the front of that list but you also got great players have been playing really well jokic he’s a beast you know Giannis you know and be before he got hurt you know what I mean I guess you know it’s a lot of guys who knows what

The actual criteria is to to how it goes you know I’ve had questions about a lot of different things uh that goes into stuff but you know I guess we’ll see what was I thinking Antman should know what I’m thinking he from the same

City he seen he used to be at the games uh watching me when I used to be flying through the you know what I mean n and man is my guy what I was thinking I guess is like what um I love I think the

Art of Duncan is like is dope and it always has been from the early days until now so I I it’s it’s it sucks to see like the abandonment of like the dunk contest I think it’s an art form so and know for me it’s like you know it’s

About the show it’s about the lead up the buildup I think appreci people are appreciate kind of some of the stuff I do tonight once it gets slow now and once you see the replay um but I think d as a art form and you know when it comes

To dunking on somebody I it’s not a lot of people who played this game I feel like who’s done it better than I have so um I want to just keep getting better keep doing it he yeah he better alltime favorite dunkers Dominique for sure the power

MJ like just his ability to Glide his his legs um Vince Carter just his creativity in the air he just was I would say those three are my favorite dunkers all time 65 game R um it’s tough um cuz I honestly I do believe that if you win

Any type of award I think you should have to play a significant amount of the Season like we got guys to play half the season and win MVP I’m not a big fan of that but maybe 65 games might be a little too severe you know maybe they

Lessen it to 58 or something like that or or something a little bit less 65 is a little bit tough but I definitely think that to win Awards you should you should play for majority of the games I don’t think so no regret KP has been huge I think for sure

Man KP has been a perfect fit for us um you know what I mean I think he’s playing some of his best basketball alongside us playing some of our best basketball so I think it’s just like a great alignment and we need to continue

That I need him to keep I think he can even take it to another level so that’s where I’m pushing him to be the best version that he could possibly be like like you could be you know dominant every single night night in and night out it’s just a mentality it’s just a

Preparation staying healthy knowing that teams are going to try to be physical with you and the more he prepares for stuff like that and the way we play the way we look for him you know he’s going to continue to be great so I need KP to

Continue to do his thing because like he’s big into what we want to do how many 10 year olds would it take I don’t know probably like a hundred yeah something like that uh the one I think my heart’s gonna say Bill Russell I think I would have stood there

Right with him you know at least he would have had somebody else on his team that felt as strongly as him and uh maybe we could have moved more Mountains together you know but there been a lot of great players that I wish I could have played with or been on the team

With who’s on my to-do list I don’t know uh maybe maybe jokic I don’t think I got Joker I think I got everybody else though yeah yeah Jokers get out the way but Joker Joker plays defense so I give him credit he doesn’t he doesn’t get the

Credit he deserves but like I’ve seen him in the last recent years he gives he gives some effort so shout out to him best basketball of all time best what basketball best basketball movies definitely loving basketball gotta be on that I get four loving basketball I’m

Going just say the four that come to mind Ling basketball coach Carter um damn Ling basketball and Coach Carter two great movies the first one that come to mind is Space Jam for some reason and then another basketball movie uh I don’t know like Mike WWE Tag Team Uh none of these guys I got no idea WWE maybe Giannis I don’t know just jiannis is just athletic he just got a mentality I think I’ll probably choose him it basketball Mount Rushmore Michael LeBron and Kobe for sure whatever order I think he’s had a pretty good

First season as far as I I’ve seen um Good Luck to him um I think he’s going to have a good career uh we’ll see what happens in Game I mean it got de it got to be LeBron James you know what I mean yeah I mean

Just his catalog because he’s so great we Overlook but you know outside of him I got to be up there I think for sure I think you know resume still going too so goto hype song dang that’s a good one uh I think uh right now my go-to

Hype song it’s probably uh hype song I don’t really listen to Hype I mean what’s your faite song right now I like uh Andre 3000’s album like the the flute music that’s what I listen to the like the frequencies and stuff like that that’s that’s all I really listen to these

Days when I travel I like to go to um I I like I like culture so I’m an adventure person I like to go experience the culture Museums Art go see try different food um that’s a good question I’ve been to a lot of places you know Cuba’s up

There um Morocco’s up there Johannesburg is up there um Bahrain is up there had the best food um Cuba was the first one that came to mind um but yeah yeah Morocco was pretty good too I got my money on Sabrina yeah I got my money on the girl

Power but Steph is hard to bet against that man so I’ll be watching just like you say that again great career one of the if not the best player all time one of them so you know his respect is not is always always there but LeBron James is best player to

Ever touch a basketball
