I keep trying to tell you, see those off hand interviews he does stirs waters in the same way it did for other athletes like Mohammed Ali, etc. If you are an entertainer/sports guy and you decide to play in the activist space, you likely take more shots than even a badly behaved team mate. Especially when you start naming names and places. Those shots come disguised with other issues, but the primary push is certain folk you named.

Im not saying its right or wrong, its just what it is and I personally don't think he wants or should want all that smoke, but Im probably wrong. I wish him the best, just let the game do your talk back and revenge for you. Dont make personal attacks on GM, city or team, however tempting. I say it because when he is in front of a mic, with the right crowd, brother gets going.

I have no problem with guys like him. Everybody is not going to toe the line and just shut up and have that cookie cutter image.

He's not breaking any laws on or off the court. He's just speaking on what he has experienced thus far. He was being honest and giving context and then you have paid parrots and goofballs like Stephen A talking a whole load of nonsense.

All his videos he's not attacked anyone, not attacked the city. Nothing

Compare to James Harden that literally called Daryl Morey a liar in China and where is the Daryl Morey today? Fired while Harden is still in the league

Incompetent GMs or dishonest ones should not be let off the hook (I'm not saying Stevens is)

Now I won't put JB in the level of Ali, nor will I put any modern athlete on that level. It's easy to be an activist today when you have nothing to lose.

I don't really agree that players should just be happy with whatever treatment they get and just shut up and dribble (I'm not talking about fake SJWs) but if you are getting hosed by your team I don't think it's wrong that you get it off your chest.

FO must be held accountable same way players are held accountable

Lol that bullshit Ghana did for group stage definitely not gonna work here

So for all the noise about Africa representatives now likely only two teams from 9 in the round of 16.

Cabo Verde have my respect. They are going down swinging

This path was inevitable. Anyone could have seen it from afar. JB needs to have his own team and he isn’t getting that with the Sixers; so what’s all the noise about being the face of the Celtics? He isn’t usurping Maxey neither is he even going to be a Robin with the Sixers! So what did he exactly gain?

There is no smear campaign here. If you know the city of Boston and the Celtics, you should know the Boston media are ruthless when it comes to the team. The team is sacred and bigger than any player.

JB is respected and adored in the city, I should know better than most, irrespective of whatever the media wants to spin. Most Celtics fans hurt when we lose great players. We have historically shown love and respect to our former players and JB won’t be different.

Y’all need to learn basketball doesn’t end on the court!

Well to be fair you guys have always tried to trade him at every turn so it's only normal that he would want his own team. Remember his first contract extension didn't go smoothly either so this beef did not start today

Could it be that he doesn't want to be the #1 and just wanted to be heard and treated as an equal to JT? The Sixers did not draft him so I doubt he has the expectation of it being his own team. Make no mistake about today as we speak Jaylen Brown is the best player on the Sixers and if they are serious about winning they will follow his lead. Maxey has not done anything and Embiid is Embiid. If JB is not the best or second best player on their team they are bleeped

I don't doubt the Celtics fans are upset about the trade, I've seen their crash outs everywhere. You saw the message he penned to the fans and all. I am positive they are not happy he is leaving

The issue is the Celtics FO have not treated JB like I've seen players with his level of production and accomplishment get treated by other teams so either he's right and his beef is legit or he's crazy and has some kind of mental disorder. Either way your guess is as good as mine

Nathaniel Brown and Saibari additions. Saibari is a very good addition to keep Musiala on his toes, he's not been the same since that injury. And also can be backup for Kane

We need another Center back. I hope the FO understand that this is our primary area of weakness. Between that and Kompany's defensive tactics as well. We are going to need improved defensive solidity if we want to overthrow PSG and get back to the top

That lack of attention to defensive detail has also translated to the German NT. And we are seeing the results


Nagelsmann out. Already exposed at Bayern now exposed even further. I hope he humbles himself to actually learn cos finding out he didn't even have his penalty kick takers in sequence makes me question how prepared he even was. That whole young whizkid manager gimmick is getting stale

Roland17:
I have chosen to not engage any further on this topic before e turn another thing for this thread or present like I hold any iota of grudge or animosity against JB. I wish him all the best though.

People don’t understand the dynamics of organizations they find themselves in.

We be guys. E no fit turn anything.

I'm speaking from the player angle. The amount of smear campaign I've seen on Jaylen Brown these past few days is ridiculous. Even the Grizzlies did not do that with Ja Morant who was causing real problems, not even Draymond Green.

He was the longest tenured Celtic. For almost half a decade if not more. He deserved better treatment

I don't normally go above and beyond to side with players but this JB own is different. It's not his fault he's a highly intelligent brother with an opinion and performances to back it up

birdman:
Warriors are not Celtics. Cut coat according to your organization. And he better take it lying down, he is an employee, and needs to remember somebody is writing the check. May God give the young man common sense to know which battles to pick.

Unfortunately for the Celtics he just so happens to be a top 15 player in his field in the middle of his prime. He does not have to take anything lying down. He has leverage. The day he will lose it will come. That day is not today

Like the great American Philosopher DMX would say. "You better buss that if you gon pull that"

If you're going to keep shopping him for trades then do it and live with the results

Expert17:
I don't have the strength for the stupid agenda.

When he was rated one of the best players at the 2022 World Cup, the agenda didn't agend then, lol.

If he joins Bayern or Arsenal (A40 and Roland club) today, he'd start every match for them... lol.

Honestly, my prayer is that he flops so CR7 doesn't win the World Cup.

Bruno start at Bayern?? Say wetin happen? So why is he still jonzin at United

Who rated him one of the best players in 2022 WC? FIFA or your beer parlor?

Someone that was linked to Saudi league not too long ago

A40:
Switzerland go flog Algeria wetin no good

With that Zidane Nepo baby for post?

Was it PDPguy or who was I telling that Algeria would not escape the akpako

Egypt the only African team I can see with some hope of the 3 left in this round

Expert17:
And no coach can drop the fraud? Why?

If he is dropped it's still Fraudnandes stans like you that will complain.

He's at the World Cup now disgracing the Premier League.

Who will believe he was the best player in the Premiership after watching Portugal play. How will you explain that to an alien new to football

Roland17:
Man is a big fraud! If na Scummies now he would be spamming crosses, farming assists, yelling at team mates and throwing tantrums.. E don reach Big boys stage werey don turn Ekuke..

I was so shocked they gave him PFA cos he was spamming set piece assists.

He's absolutely rubbish. United fans spent the full season gassing him and I understand they are starving and have no quality player but the fact that they legit think Fernandes is a world class player explains the state of where their club is today

Trevor012:
Shey now it's obvious. The guy is a fraud

Type my handle and Fernandes. I have been pointing out his fraudulence almost 5 years now

Roland17:
Bruno needs to sit on the bench. He has had a horrendous tournament.

Fraudnandes. I know his name

Offside

Gvardiol. Football is bants. Wa-Siuuuu don shit for body oh

Or maybe not. Ramos.

PSG sold Milan a lemon.

ToyinDipo:
He seems to only thrive where there is space

Very limited player. That word "midfield controller" has been abused. Now every Tom, Derek and Ifeanyi that can spam 90 3-5 yard sideways passes is considered a controller.

Controllers I know in modern era are Xavi, Modric, Kroos, pre ACL tear Rodri not all these imposters

Pendu with him favorite tea.

If Portugal advance how do they hold up against Spain sef

Theflint1:
E just dey turn round pitch...a lot of those PSG players na system guys jor

Them need to hire Enrique cos na only him fit unlock them.

Back to back CLs will put frauds like him in conversations they don't belong. Smh

This Vitinha na just Mikel with PR. Make e no spoil for my hand merchant

Gbese re oh

See as everybody just dey panel beat Airmark

This one na him we dey call massing for school that year

Wa-Siuuuu even me no go fit defend this one. Even as I gree say Messi don pass you at least try keep the gap respectable

greypencils:
Meeennn! I am still trying to wrap my head around this meeen. I cant. Will MJ be MJ if he wasnt MJ? MJ was cocky meeen and the bulls never threw him under the bus. I never gave a shit about Celtics. Now I definitely dont give a shit. They traded the one person I liked on that team.

He's a really intelligent brother. Is that the crime? That he should be a Yesman like JT?

The irony is all teams need a combination of both types of players. You need the cool head and the hot head to harmonize and win

Anyway all that is history. I hope nuking their title contention opportunity was worth it

birdman:
Attitude is important anywhere you work, and definitely in corporate America. And I dont think JB cared enough to at least try. Regardless of how corporate America tries to butter you, you will know what they think by what they pay you. They did good by your boy

In a league Tobias Harris has made over $300m I think JB would have been Gucci regardless. They did not do him a favor. He was paid his rightful dough nau as a lottery pick that brought you a Chip and at worst was your second best player

Now to this attitude. Tell me what is JB's offense. I am still waiting for any Celtics FO defender to show me what JB has done wrong. Was he late to practice? DUI? Fighting coaches and teammates? DV?

I'm still trying to find out the exact nature of his offense and maybe I can see your point. I am open to new information but if the Warriors can stand behind a nut job like Draymond Green. Then what has JB done that made him trade fodder every other year? And why do you think he should just take it lying down
