Before Jaylen Brown was a key member of a Boston Celtics team that is challenging for NBA title, he was just a normal kid in Georgia whom one of his teachers was not all that fond of.

As a matter of fact, a tweet from Brown surfaced on Monday where Brown said that his teacher said he would wind up in jail one day:

Obviously, that teacher could not be further from the truth, as five years to the day of that tweet, Brown was scoring 19 points in a resounding 22-point Celtics win in Game 1 of their second-round Eastern Conference playoff series against the Milwaukee Bucks.

While Brown said that he “doesn't forget” things like that, he is also not blaming the teacher for the harsh statement:

“Sometimes because the education system is poor, especially in Georgia, sometimes teachers have too many kids and not enough help,” Brown said, according to Joe Vardon of The Athletic. “I’m not blaming the one teacher.”

Brown also said he is kind of glad that that tweet from April 2014 has gone viral:

“If it’s used as an example to motivate kids all around the world, especially growing up in a public school in the metro Atlanta area, everything isn’t always cut and dry,” Brown said. “It’s tough, it’s tough on both sides. Teachers, students as well, to learn in an environment and also teach in an environment with 30-something kids in one class. That’s hard.”

The 22-year-old is now in his third NBA season, so it seems safe to say he proved his former teacher wrong.
