“BOSTON — With all eyes on the NBA champion Boston Celtics on Friday, Jaylen Brown took advantage of another opportunity to fire back at ESPN's Stephen A. Smith.
With his NBA Finals MVP trophy in his hand, Brown was rocking a "State Your Source" shirt when he arrived at TD Garden for Friday's victory parade. The comment is a callback to Brown's viral tweet aimed at the ESPN talking head from a few months ago.

The shirt is in reference to Brown's message to Smith at the end of May, when Smith reported that a source told him that Brown wasn't marketable because of his ego. Smith took that source's comments to air, which caused quite a stir.
"It's not so much that he's underrated, it's that he's just not liked because of his, 'I am better than you,' attitude," Smith said on air on May 26. "He knows it. It's the same reason he is not as marketable as he should be. That's what an NBA source just sent me."
Brown took exception to that comment, and let Smith know via X.
Brown was clearly upset about those comments two months ago, and used them as fuel during Boston's playoff run. He's getting the last laugh as an NBA champ, and will likely have a few marketing opportunities heading his way in the near future.
On Friday, Brown got to clap back at Smith again, but this time he let his championship parade attire do the talking.”

SAS is a clown. 🤡
JB is a world champ and FMVP. 🌎 🏆
SAS is dying to have beef between Brown and Tatum, and also dying to have Brown hate the organization and city. The only small problem is none of those things exist.
I think dumbest part about what Stephen A. said,( and that’s saying something) is that JB has a “I’m better than you” attitude. And Lebron doesn’t? He calls himself king ffs.
SAS is such an insufferable wannabe. He wishes he was a player so bad, guy acts so tough all the time.
STATE YOUR SOURCE OR STFU
SAS is a complete hack, can’t wait until ESPN decides to give him the boot.
I would love to have a “State your source” t shirt with a #7 on the back. JB, create this!
