Jaylen Brown has no comment on Olympic snub: ‘I got my beautiful date’
NY Post
Jaylen Brown didn’t seem interested in discussing the drama surrounding the Olympic roster during his big night at the ESPY Awards.
The Celtics star — who took home the honor for Best Championship Performance in the 2024 NBA Finals — said he had “no comment” about being left off the roster for Team USA that will compete at the Paris Olympics starting July 26.
“How do you feel about the USA team right now, bro?” Cam Newton asked Brown while on the red carpet prior to the show. “Why aren’t you there? Do you feel a way?”
“I don’t really got no comment you know what I mean?” Brown said nonchalantly. “I’m here, I got my beautiful date right there.”
Brown — who was named NBA Finals MVP after the Celtics beat the Mavericks in five games to secure the franchise’s 18th championship — then turned to his right, where a man was holding the NBA Finals trophy.
“Come on, bro… He’s trying to deflect ladies and gentleman and she’s a stepper!” Newton joked.
