Bosotn Celtics swingman Jaylen Brown kept himself busy throughout the lock down period by participating — and even taking the lead — in a number of peaceful protests in the wake of the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police back in May. As it turns out, however, Brown has not let his involvement in the socio-political sphere affect his game in any way.
Case in point is this brief clip of Brown casually sinking this three-pointer from Stephen Curry-distance.

Obviously, Jaylen Brown has been keeping in tip top shape despite being in quarantine, and this is just further proof of the same. Sure, it could have been a lucky shot, and we don't know how many he missed before actually making this. But you can't deny that JB looks to be in incredible form early in these bubble practices.
We're sure it wasn't easy to keep fit throughout the lethargic quarantine period, but Brown made sure that he would return in excellent form.
Brown is expected to play a crucial role for the Celtics moving forward. Boston entered the hiatus with a very impressive 43-21 record, which places them in the third spot in the Eastern Conference.
Boston has been one of the biggest surprise packages of the season thus far, and it will be interesting to see just how far this new-look Celtics side will progress this season. They have already secured themselves to a playoff spot, but they will be facing some stiff competition in the postseason.
The Philadelphia 76ers are ranked sixth in the East right now, so we could very well be in store for feisty a Celtics-Sixers first-round matchup once the playoffs begins.
