SI: You have gone through a lot in Boston. Your selection was booed on draft night. You’ve been in trade talks almost every year. How challenging has that been? Jaylen Brown: Very, very challenging, to be honest. Things have not gone my way. I haven’t been catered to, in a sense, which has made me stronger. I think it has made me a better player, has driven me. I can complain, but in reality, it made me the best. So I’m grateful for it. Even if it was indirect, I know that it wasn’t intentional. It is what it is. It made me better. I know there were a lot of people who didn’t believe I would be in the position I am now. Some were in this building, some are no longer here, but I am. So I’m grateful, that’s how I would describe it. -via Sports Illustrated / February 13, 2025
