Jaylen Brown: The NBA’s Renaissance Man

Celtics Sophomore Jaylen Brown: A Student of the Game, A Scholar in Life & the NBA’s Renaissance Man

Jaylen Brown turns just 21-years-old today; yet the Boston Celtics forward has already amassed an NBA resume that elevates him far above of his sophomore colleagues.

That’s because the 6’7’’, 225-lb UC Berkeley product is not just one of the most gifted athletes in the NBA, he’s also one of the brightest students of the game, a scholar in life and a true role model for those coming up behind him.

As Brown and this young Celtics team (1-2) get ready to square off against the Knicks (0-2) tonight at TD Garden, you can be sure of one thing - Brown won’t be thinking of where to get his first legal drink once the 4th quarter buzzer sounds.
