Jaylen Brown thanks All-NBA voter who indirectly helped him nab richest contract in NBA history

Despite making history with his supermax deal courtesy of the Celtics, it doesn’t seem like money is changing the way Jaylen Brown presents himself off the court.

He and Boston agreed to a historic five-year, $304 million supermax extension on July 25. Brown became eligible for such a deal after he was voted to the All-NBA second team alongside the likes of the Nuggets’ Nikola Jokiu0107 and the Warriors’ Stephen Curry. Brown received 169 votes from sportswriters and broadcasters who comprise the All-NBA voting panel.

One of those voters, Mike Singer of The Denver Post who put a tally down for the 26-year-old, shared on Twitter that he received a letter from Brown thanking Singer for inadvertently making his massive contract increase possible.
