Boston Celtics: Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown’s success should come as no surprise — here’s why

When Jaylen Brown signed a 4-year, $115 million deal with the Boston Celtics before the start of the 2019-20 season, NBA Twitter seemed to have a comedy night about it. Sarcastic tweets and memes ran through the internet as Brown’s contract was heavily ridiculed.

Instead of a long explanation as to why the contract already is proving to be worth it, here is my tweet from the day of the contract, and some of the replies.

Lmao how long y’all going to develop him? just saving face on a bad contract

Yeah, go ahead and justify a 115 million dollar contract to a player coming off a 13/4 season.
