Why Ice Cube said he’s ‘forever grateful’ for Celtics star Jaylen Brown

Jaylen Brown signed the richest contract in NBA history, helped lead the Celtics on several deep playoff runs, and made a pair of NBA All-Star games.

Now he can add another accomplishment to his list. Entertainment mogul Ice Cube now considers Brown a “hero” after the Celtics star agreed to play in the upcoming BIG3 All-Star game.

“Jaylen Brown is my hero,” Cube wrote on Twitter. “He’s making a humongous statement by being the first current NBA player to play in a BIG3 game. By suiting up for our All-Star game tomorrow, he’s doing everything in his power to help the league succeed.
