Mate, if I had to guess, young Jaylen is implying that Nike ensured US Basketball picked White over him since White is #swooshlife AF and Brown is team #threestripes

i can see why he'd think that but honestly White is a guy they'd pick if they wanted a defender for certain situations to replace kawhi (i know his defense has dropped off some).

they have plenty of scorers

This is an outrage! It’s one thing for a company to profit off of child slavery. It’s a whole different thing to blackball a multi millionaire who isn’t getting that child slavery bag from said company.

Imagine winning the finals and the crying about your teammate making the Olympic team over you, this drama queen won’t be in Boston for the long haul.

For reference Stephen A said this about Jaylen a month ago:
quote:

"It's not so much that he's underrated, it's that he's just not liked because of his, 'I am better than you,' attitude," Smith said on air on May 26. "He knows it. It's the same reason he is not as marketable as he should be. That's what an NBA source just sent me."

Well when it was 1 or 2 you might be willing to let it slide. When it's 3(and the quickness of the decision makes it seem like you weren't even considered), I could see why he'd feel slighted.

Lol he’s got a point. 3 Celtics made the USA team and he was just their MVP for the playoffs and is basically 1b with Tatum

Boston would be extremely idiotic if they were to let go of JB. Did you forget that fast he was literally the Finals MVP?

White was announced as the replacement like a month ago with uncertainty about Leonard's health. LINK

Considering he was huge into the George Floyd stuff and defunding police, I'm sure it has something to do with that.

Jaylen Brown is better than White at every facet of the game, including defense. Brown carries more of an offensive load than White for the Celtics so maybe his defense drops at times (whereas White can focus on being defensive stopper), but put him on Team USA and tell him we need a lock down defender and Brown is pretty much a perfect replacement for Kawhi.
