Even with the 2026 NBA Finals going on, Boston Celtics star forward Jaylen Brown continues to garner attention on social media with his recent post.
Brown completed the 10th season of his NBA career with the Celtics. He is in offseason mode after he and squad lost to the Philadelphia 76ers in the first round of the playoffs despite having held a 3-1 series lead at one point.
Despite the early exit, Brown enjoyed the best regular season of his career. He got to shine as the first scoring option while co-star Jayson Tatum rehabbed his Achilles for most of the campaign, earning recognition as one of the top stars in the entire league.
Brown tends to make posts on social media that go viral, whether it involves basketball or not. It was no different with his latest post on X that got fans wondering what he is referring to.
“龙布朗,” Brown wrote, a Chinese phrase that roughly translates to “long brown.”
