Was Jaylen Brown dialogue among Boston Celtics fans always wrong?

My favorite part of the Derrick White buzzer-beater for the Boston Celtics in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals was Jaylen Brown.

Of the five guys on the court, Brown was the only player who did not—and could not—do anything to affect its outcome. The play’s main participants were White and Marcus Smart, but Jayson Tatum and Al Horford were also responsible for crashing different sides of the hoop in case Smart missed.

But Brown kind of just… stands there. He takes six total steps and moves about three feet into the key before getting sealed off by Bam Adebayo.
