Jaylen Brown: We all have different views of ourselves, different views from our parents, different views from people back home, different views from the organization, and it all might not be the reality of where you?re at right now. So the problem, I think, sometimes is that patience and a plan or a strategy doesn?t come into effect.

It just thinks, I?m supposed to get this right now. And at some point, maybe you make that decision where it?s not going to work out here. Maybe I need to go somewhere else. Or maybe my reality in my brain is not the reality that I?m living. But at some point, those decisions have to get made. For me, how I looked at it was: I?m going to accept the role that they are offering me while knowing the role that I have for myself. I?m going to do your role to perfection, but I?m going to sneak my little one-two in there every chance I get. Basically, my strategy is: I?m going to show the people.

What kind of gobbly-gook is that supposed to be ?

Somebody nailed it above:  it's that faux intellectual Kyrie-adjacent nonsense that is borderline illiterate gibberish.

Hate to agree because I?m certain JB is a smart man, but he does not put words together all that well. This statement reads as many of his diatribes do - borderline incoherent.  He probably just wants to make a simple point but leaves the audience unsure of his intent.

Personally I think that people try too much to read things that are transcribed from extemporaneously spoken YouTube videos.  Jaylen is quite easy to understand if listen to him talk for two minutes rather than try to read it.

I think we are too used to prepared lines.

What Jaylen is doing is a different medium. He's vlogging. He's chatting. The medium is designed to be like a honest conversation with a friend.

Our thoughts come out disjointed when we chat with friends. That's all he is doing.

If you watched the video, it was actually an interview. He also stated the below, which I don?t recall ever happening. JB mentioned that the only reason Gordon played ahead of him was due to Brads relationship with Hayward from the Butler days and the fact that they were paying him a lot of money. Essentially that it wasn?t a basketball decision.

Jaylen Brown said he used fan support years ago to start again despite the fact that Brad Stevens preferred Gordon Hayward:

Once you get the people talking about it, the front office is going to start making decisions.

Celtics fans even started a petition:

That eventually made the Celtics put me back into the starting lineup.

This is confusing

1) The wording here suggests that Celtics fans literally started a formal petition. This obviously did not happen. I do not recall major "Put Jaylen back in the starting lineup!" fan sentiment either.

2) Hayward only started the first 15 games of the season. Brown also started those game. Brown didnt lose his starting spot until around game 20. The two of them were replaced with Marcus Morris and Smart. This seemed like obviously the right decision as we were 10-10 through the first 20 and then went 40 and 22 once he went to the bench

3) Brown DID regain his starting role when the playoffs started. Although that seems more likely to be because Marcus Smart was injured. Him and Hayward played basically identical minutes in the playoffs.

Should be mentioned by all advanced stats, Hayward was way better than him that year. The next year they both started and played similar minutes as well

It is also nonsense.  Jaylen's 3rd year he did start only 25 of 74 games, but Hayward only started 18 of 72.  The team elevated Marcus Smart to the starting lineup.  They also had Morris start way more than Baynes. So in 17-18 the starters were basically Irving, Brown, Tatum, Horford, Baynes.  In 18-18 the starters were basically Irving, Smart, Tatum, Morris, Horford. So Brown lost the statung job to Smart in part because Brown couldn't provide the right cover to Irving's terrible defense whereas Smart could.

In that case, let's start a petition to GM Brad and have him trade Jaylen for Giannis!
