“Working with Kanye West, Jaylen Brown has decided to ruin his career”: NBA Twitter criticized the Celtics star for being among the first pro athletes to sign with Donda Sports

Just a few hours after Aaron Donald signed with Donda Sports, Celtics guard Jaylen Brown follows in the NFL star’s footsteps.

Jaylen Brown is having quite the year of his career. Despite not making an All-Star appearance, the 25-year-old averaged a solid 23.6/6.1/3.5, being a huge reason why the Celtics jumped from the 11^th position to the 2^nd seed in the regular season.

Now in the postseason, JB has been having the playoff run of his career. Putting up a staggering 22.9 points, 3.5 assists (both playoff highs), and 6.8 rebounds in this postseason, the swingman has helped Jayson Tatum and co. lift the Eastern Conference Championship, and prepare to face the Golden State Warriors in the first-ever NBA Finals appearance of his career.

NBA Twitter reacts as Jaylen Brown signs a deal with Kanye West’s Donda Sports

Donda Sports is Ye’s first-ever sports clothing line. And according to what TMZ Sports were told, the Celtics star was selected for his “intelligence, social activism and charitable work … as well as his success on the court.”

As soon as the deal went official, NBA Twitter blew up with reactions. There were a few users who believed that this was a great way for Brown to deserve the recognition he believes, whereas, a few believed working with the controversial rapper would do no good for the 25-year-old.

I respected Jaylen as a person and as a player, but signing with someone who supported Donald Trump and said slavery was a choice make me rethink what kind of person he is

This is genius of him, he’s literally a star that no one talks about because the league is working extra time to show Tatum as the next Kobe.
