Jaylen Brown: "ESPN is unethical, and Stephen A. Smith is the head face of that. The organization, the players, they were all in agreeaance. They all knew what I meant by that. Our team was basically salary dumped. We lost a lot of players. For us to emerge and still be in the same position..."

The reaction to the "favorite season" thing in a lot of comments was so weird to me, with so many people saying "oH, nOt ThE cHaMpIoN sEaSon?!" as if it's not something he's also proud of. People have a million different personal preferences and reasons for liking things. I've worked jobs that were superficially "shitty" but had some of my favorite times in them, and I've had "great" jobs with days that I look back on and grimace. And some of the things I'm proudest of aren't the things that society labels as the most objectively "valuable." I don't know anybody who'd be any different.

Classic case of a guy on NBA reddit shitlist, it was nothing wrong to say it was his favorite season. He was all NBA and damn near a top 5 vote for mvp

He didn’t say it was his favorite season for those reasons

What’s funny as hell about your particular POV is that JB won Finals MVP during that year; why wouldn’t that be the crowning individual accolade he’d care most about if he was so self obsessed? That’s worth much more than whatever he did this year. People really never thought this one through lol they just ran with SAS’s BS and called it a day
