The ultimate dream for basketball players is to reach the NBA, the grandest league in the world. But for some who have already made it there, playing in the NBA does not signify the end of having ambitions. For Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown, his other goal is to write a book.
Normally, athletes author books once their playing days are over. Brown isn’t even halfway through what is expected to be a lengthy career in the NBA, but he wants to dabble into literature as early as today.
When Brown expressed his intent on Twitter to become an author, Celtics general manager was among those who replied, albeit with a response that needs some encrypting to decipher what exactly he was trying to say.

We’re not pretending to be experts on decoding emojis, especially those that come without even a single accompanying alphabet, but it’s probable that Danny Ainge wants Brown to know that he’s not in favor of such a distraction from basketball. That stop sign emoji is pretty telling.
Ainge does hold Brown to a high standard based on how the forward has played in his first two seasons in the NBA, and he likely thinks that worrying about writing a book could take away some of the swingman’s focus away from basketball.
Still, we want to see Brown realize his dreams. If he really wants to, we suggest a story about Ainge and his use of emojis. We’ll surely buy “D.A. Emoji Code” by J. Brown if it ever comes into fruition.
