Nothing but respect for this young king
Some watching the battle between the Golden State Warriors and the Portland Trail Blazers may have noticed something a little bit out of place. Contrary to what the rest of Boston sports may have led you to believe, the Celtics are, in fact, no longer in the running for a championship, unlike their counterparts in the city.
Honestly, I have nothing but respect for this dude. Normally I loathe people who show up to a sporting event repping a team that is not competing in the game they are attending. Nothing is worse than a kid in a Lebron James Lakers jersey at a game between the Wizards and Magic.
But this kid, this kid is different. If he were a bandwagon he would be there in a Warriors jersey. No one is bandwagoning the Celtics after their pathetic showing this season. And even if he was, he would not be donning a Jaylen Brown jersey. It would most certainly be a number-11 jersey.
The other thing that makes me think that this kid is a legitimate Celtics fan that just wanted to take in the NBA’s biggest stage with his friends, is the fact that Jaylen Brown has no connection to either team. It would be one thing if it were a Bill Walton Celtics jersey, after all, Walton played for both the Celtics and Blazers. But it’s not. The closest you could get would be the fact that Jaylen Brown went to Cal University, near Oakland. So either this kid loves him some Celtics basketball, or he’s the worlds biggest Cal Golden Bears/Jaylen Brown fan.
Those seats aren’t cheap either. Easily a couple grand. So it’s not as if this kid couldn’t stop at the team store on the way in and grab himself a Steph Curry jersey. But no, he had to represent Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics on national television.
On second thought, this kid can’t be a Boston fan. If he were, he would have no idea basketball was occurring because the Bruins just advanced to the Stanley Cup Finals. What even is basketball?
