Just over a week after the Celtics were eliminated from the NBA playoffs, Jaylen Brown said he hoped to spend most of his offseason in Boston.
“I’m leaning toward being even more in the community,” Brown told CelticsBlog. “I’m just really trying to touch this community and be around, be available for the city of Boston.”
One month later, Brown has already fulfilled that promise: he’s hosted two 741 Performance pop-ups, and surprised students at five different schools in Dorchester and Roxbury.
“People couldn’t stop talking about it, I can’t even lie,” Jaylon Mason, a graduating senior at Brooke High School, told CelticsBlog after Brown visited his school late last month.
