Jaylen Brown, it is all love from me

Jaylen Brown, it is all love from me

you know that the Boston Celtics are the reigning NBA champions right and that final MVP honors went to Jaylen brown right well Brown had an interesting shirt on that seemed to be aimed at moah while holding the MVP trophy preparing for the parade take a look at this y’all how we feeling JB can’t complain you ready you ready yes sir here we go that shirt State your sources he was referring to comments I made stating an anonymous source that told me brown’s quot qu quote attitude was hurting his marketability even though I didn’t say about attitude I said he’s not likable to some in some people’s eyes that’s what I specifically said um no problem State your Source that’s not going to happen it’ll never happen any journalist worth his salt ain’t naming the sources so let’s get that out the way first number two um did y’all know that Jaylen Brown’s Mama came up to me to give me a hug in Dallas the day that they got annihilated in Dallas they were down by 48 points and they lost that game they got sh shellacked before winning game five this game four Mama came up to me do you know who came up to me hours later that evening after mama had come up to me to give me a big hug Mama jayen jayen Brown mama you know who came up to me you know Grandma now I know he had a death in the family that he alluded to and God bless her wonderful soul and what have you that’s who was introduced to me by his brother by the way do you know what they said they thanked me you know why they thanked me because they got the message I have no problem with jayen brown I got nothing but love for Jaylen Brown a black dude highly intelligent great player incredible role model don’t get in any trouble his head is on right disciplined focused tenacious successful wealthy now with his new $34 million contract from last summer and all by the way he’s a champion where the endorsement is why have I been seeing Jason Tatum in every damn commercial how come we see all of these teammates from ad and LeBron to you know PG and Kawai to to to Stephen Clay and the list goes on and on why do we see all of these brothers with marketing opportunities but we don’t see the same for Tatum with brown I wasn’t calling out brown like brown did something wrong I was highlighting the fact that he’s all the things you should want in a role model who’s an athlete and Madison Avenue ain’t giving him enough shine and attention and asking the question why is that that’s all I was doing because that’s how you provoke conversation by talking about the absence of obvious nuggets that should be inserted and implemented into a conversation that’s how you do it and the reality is that when it came to Jaylen Brown that wasn’t happening so name your Source name your Source hell no you ain’t getting it but know that people out there saying that but his family sort of handwriting on the wall and they appreciated why I highlighted it I highlighted it because this conscientious brother who’s on the front lines during the whole social justice movement who’s been a conscientious Observer who talked about taking his money and contributing to the Boston Community to the impoverished and desolate and disenfranchised and their surrounding areas and Beyond who shined a spotlight on it and had the press conference to announce his new signing in that local what this brother is doing what he’s aiming to do is special why should I have a problem with that why should anybody have a problem with that if you’re jayen Brown and you are watching could you please do me a favor and go back and listen to what I said and truly inhale and dissect what I was saying I wasn’t saying they were right I was saying they were wrong but you needed to be aware of the fact that some people are out there saying this about you don’t you want to know where the bodies lie don’t you want to know what’s being said don’t you want to know what specifically to debunk if you don’t know what you’re targeting you’re swinging at air and I’ve I happen to believe that’s counterproductive that’s all I did nothing more nothing less so so whereas I could apologize to podcast P Paul George himself for saying what I said about kawh L while on that set while Paul George was on that set I owe Jaylen Brown no apology I owe nobody an apology for what I said about Jaylen Brown because I am right he deserves to be liked he deserves to be respected and revered he deserves the shine that he received when he got the MVP award and you know last point I’ll make Jaylen Brown and I’m speaking directly to you Jaylen Brown why you cover your face and look like you were damn near ready to cry when they named you NBA Finals MVP you know why because you were just as shocked as a lot of people were because you never thought they’d give it to you you know why because the respect that you have earned that you so richly deserved is what you have been denied for years which only accentuates and illuminates the original freaking point I was making one day y’all will learn to listen to what I’m saying instead of just threatening and hating over who’s saying it listen to the content and the substance of what I’m breaking down to you and stop blocking your ears
