Jaylen Brown fulfills a childhood dream, meeting ‘Bill Nye the Science Guy’

WASHINGTON — A couple of weeks ago, Celtics forward Jaylen Brown put out a tweet asking how he could meet Bill Nye, the host of the popular educational TV show “Bill Nye the Science Guy.”

The show ran from 1993-1998, and the final episode aired before Brown turned two years old. But, teachers continued to show tapes of the show years after it went off the air. Brown was fascinated by it, and he wanted to find a way to meet the man behind it.

On Friday night, Brown got his opportunity to meet Nye after the Celtics beat the Wizards in Washington.
