Jaylen Brown makes cryptic post after Derrick White gets Olympic nod
NY Post
Everything might not be perfect in Boston after all.
While the Celtics won their NBA-best 18th title in June, one of the team’s stars posted a cryptic message on social media after a decision was made that was out of his hands.
After it was announced that superstar Kawhi Leonard was withdrawing from Team USA’s Olympic basketball competition, Celtics guard and fellow defensive whiz Derrick White was named as Leonard’s replacement.
Few seemed to bat an eye at the choice — except for his own teammate, Jaylen Brown.
On Wednesday afternoon, the reigning Finals MVP cryptically posted on X three monocle-clad emojis with no text.
During the 2023-24 regular season, Brown was strong yet again, earning a third All-Star nod by posting 23 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.2 steals per game.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
