Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown continues to show impressive leadership both on and off the court.

Brown, who was originally against coming to the bubble atmosphere to finish the season, has been actively speaking out against racial injustice in the United States following the death of Jacob Blake. Blake, 29, was an unarmed Black man who was shot by a Wisconsin police officer seven times. He's expected to survive but is now paralyzed from the waist down.

Brown was asked on Saturday on how the emotions have been the past few days, and he gave an honest answer:

“It's a lot, but I think it's necessary. … I'm actually proud of our guys for some of the unification we've shown over the past few days, Brown told reporters on Saturday, via Tim Bontemps of ESPN.

The NBA playoffs were in danger of being cancelled after all of Wednesday's games were postponed after players chose not to play to in protest of police brutality. However, after having two league-wide meetings to reportedly discuss what they can do, the players decided that they should continue the season.

Nevertheless, this isn't the first time the Celtics' rising star has been taking action to end racial injustice in the United States. In May, Brown organized a peaceful protest march through Atlanta following the death of George Floyd, an unarmed Black who died in police custody. Brown reportedly drove 15 hours from Boston to help lead demonstrations during the NBA's layover between season suspension and resumption in Orlando.

Brown has certainly done good job for being the Vice President of the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA).
