The ultimate dream for basketball players is to reach the NBA, the grandest league in the world.

Normally, athletes author […]

Jaylen Brown recently made a trip to South East Asia, visiting Indonesia in particular where he seemed to have quite a time of his life.

There is standing up for your teammates and then there is just making crazy claims and that is what Pistons center Andre Drummond is doing.

The NBA’s one-and-done rule, which means which requires NBA prospects to enter the draft a year removed from their high school graduation, could be done in a matter of years.

With the NBA free agency at the two-week mark, there are still a number of notable players left on the market. Among them is Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart.

Jaylen Brown and the Celtics were one game away from beating LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals. In fact, they had an opportunity to knock off King James down the stretch of that Game 7, but the young Celtics couldn’t convert. With James’ departure for the Los Angeles Lakers, the […]

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown is in Las Vegas, and according to Marc Spears of The Undefeated, he’s considering playing in two summer league games.

The Boston Celtics have been rumored to be trying to acquire Kawhi Leonard from the San Antonio Spurs, but it might be hard to do with the Celtics not willing to give up some of their young stars. According to Steve Bullpet of the Boston Herald, as nice as it would be to get Leonard, the […]

The Boston Celtics entered this season with high expectations. They traded Isaiah Thomas for Kyrie Irving. Gordon Hayward was the shiny-yet-familiar new toy brought in to raise the ceiling. Add solid depth, intriguing young pieces, and an elite coach, and many expected Boston to eclipse 50 wins with room for more growth. Not even 10 […]

Last week, rumors started to float that the Boston Celtics are willing to deal one of their rising stars if it meant moving up high enough in the upcoming 2018 NBA Draft to snag Texas Longhorns product Mo Bamba, who is considered as one of the best big men in the pool, per Sean Deveney […]

Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown maybe a sophomore, but he’s like a savvy veteran when he’s on the floor. That’s partly because he’s played in high-intensity playoff games right in his very first season in the NBA, when the Celtics reached the Eastern Conference finals. While the pressure of playing in the league does not […]

The Boston Celtics, Cleveland Cavaliers, Golden State Warriors, and Houston Rockets have each taken different paths to the NBA Conference Finals, but each share enough common threads to weave the tapestry that is basketball’s future. First and foremost, an old coaching adage is holding up this postseason: the team that shoots better tends to win […]

Jaylen Brown was in no way proud of his individual performance in a 116-86 loss by the Boston Celtics to the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals, looking to atone his poor outing during tonight’s Game 4 at Quicken Loans Arena. “Could use it as fuel, I use it as fuel,” […]

Make no mistake about it. Jaylen Brown respects The King. He speaks no ill-will towards The King. And coming from an extremely highly-disciplined Brad Stevens-coached squad would never poke The King. He will, however, drop the hammer on reality. Ahead of the Cleveland Cavaliers must-win Game 3 at home, the young Boston Celtics star made […]

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart had his fingerprints all over a Game 2 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, once again successfully defending home court and putting their Eastern Conference rivals in a tough situation as the series progresses.

After Al Horford won the opening tip of Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, Jaylen Brown corralled the ball while fending off Cleveland Cavaliers sharpshooter Kyle Korver.

The Boston Celtics kept their march going another step closer to reaching the NBA Finals with a Game 1 win over Cleveland Cavaliers in a 108-83 win on Sunday afternoon. The charge was led by their young core group with Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum combined for 39 points in the blowout victory in a comfortable […]

The Boston Celtics have been counted out of this season since the opening day of their 2017-18 campaign. When Gordon Hayward went down with a season-ending injury, everyone said that they didn’t have a chance to compete in the Eastern Conference. When Kyrie Irving was ruled out for the rest of the season, everyone said […]

Reddit user LefwanArhaz pointed out a very interesting statistical comparison between 15-year veteran Carmelo Anthony and sophomore Jaylen Brown.

The Boston Celtics’ second-year man in Jaylen Brown posted an Instagram story of his teammates on a roller coaster.

Below is the Instagram story, as captured by Andrew Doxy of the CelticsBlog: Jaylen’s IG is […]

Jaylen Brown of the Boston Celtics is very important to the team. While he’s only in his second year in the NBA, he has already proven that he can play at a high level and be a more than reliable rotation player. When Brown got hurt during the playoffs, it was a big blow to […]

The Philadelphia 76ers pulled away from the Boston Celtics in the second half on their way to an easy victory, but one of the weirder moments happened after Jaylen Brown picked up his fifth foul. He picked up the foul and went down and stood by Brad Stevens. He was called for a technical foul […]

The Boston Celtics are showing off their depth and mental cohesiveness in these playoffs, going up 3-0 against a talented Philadelphia 76ers team in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

During his time with the Butler Bulldogs, Brad Stevens was known as one of the brightest up and coming coaches in basketball. He was always praised for his out of bounds plays that always seemed to work and his strategies were second to none. It was a big reason why he was able to make […]

It was a wild and crazy Game 3 between the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers that included back-and-forth action and a premature confetti celebration at the end of regulation. At the end of overtime at Wells Fargo Center, the Celtics were able to secure a huge 101-98 victory over the Sixers that gave them a commanding 3-0 […]

The Boston Celtics were able to take Games 1 and 2 of their Eastern Conference second round series against the Philadelphia 76ers, both both coming at home.

When it was announced that Jaylen Brown was going to be able to suit up for Game 2 it was surprising to most. Before the morning shootaround, Boston Celtics coach Brad Stevens hinted that Brown wouldn’t be able to go and even if he was able to go it sounded like it would be very […]

With all the reports before Game 2 that Boston Celtics second-year shooting guard Jaylen Brown was doubtful to play on Thursday night against the Philadelphia 76ers, it was ultimately Brown’s decision to play through a hamstring injury and that is exactly what he did. According to Celtics beat writer Tom Westerholm of MassLive, Brown told […]

The Boston Celtics will take on the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday night in Game 2 of the series, and there seems to be a good chance that the Celtics will be short-handed.

As a result of Monday night’s 117-101 win, the Boston Celtics are now leading their Eastern Conference Semifinals series against the Philadelphia 76ers, 1-0.

The Boston Celtics’ Monday night 117-101 win over the Philadelphia 76ers at home must have given Celtics forward Jaylen Brown a bittersweet feeling.

The Boston Celtics are fresh off a convincing Game 1 win over the visiting Philadelphia 76ers — a 117-101 win without their starting shooting guard Jaylen Brown.

There is not a lot of time for the Boston Celtics to prepare for the second round of the playoffs against the Philadelphia 76ers, as their first-round series with the Milwaukee Bucks went the distance. What that also meant is that Celtics forward Jaylen Brown has little time to fully recover from a hamstring injury […]

The Boston Celtics managed to take care of business in the first round against the Milwaukee Bucks.
