Jaylen Brown had all of the Georges Niang haters SICK on Tuesday night. They've actually never been down worse than they are now.
Since news broke that Niang had been traded to the Boston Celtics last month, the energy towards him has been incredibly weird. Fans have been on social media whining about the move and calling for the front office to “get him off of their team.”
Every time the Celtics have included Niang in social media posts, the comments have been a cesspool.
I’m sure there’s some “he’s chubby, so there’s no way he could possibly be a winning basketball player” mixed in there, but a lot of the negativity stems from his run-in with JB during the 2023 NBA Playoffs.
