BOSTON – Celtics rookie Jaylen Brown has delivered a number of powerful moments on the court this season, often times in the form of an emphatic dunk or an explosive drive to the rim.
Monday night, on Martin Luther King Day, he showed that he can also make an influential impact off the court in the form of words.
As the Celtics were preparing to tip off against the Charlotte Hornets, Brown emerged from Boston’s bench holding a microphone.
The young forward, wearing a Martin Luther King-themed t-shirt, slowly strode out to center court and asked for the crowd’s attention.
