Jaylen Brown is very close with his fellow Boston Celtics players, including Jayson Tatum.
That means that he is willing to poke fun at them, but it’s always done with love.
Tatum recently showed off his new haircut, and Brown had a comment about it.
“JT got braids? Hell nah … JT just doing anything now,” Brown said, via Bleacher Report.

Tatum’s new haircut is definitely different, but he looked very happy with a big smile on his face.
Brown, who has also worn braids before, was shocked by Tatum’s appearance and just couldn’t pass it up without saying something.
These two players have been very close since joining the Celtics.
But for the season ahead, Brown will be without Tatum, and he will have more responsibilities than ever before.
Tatum has become Boston’s leader and their most important player, but a very serious injury will have him sidelined for all of 2025-26.
That is going to put more pressure on Brown, and he is ready to step up and prove what he can do.
Last season, he averaged 22.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 4.5 assists on 46.3 percent from the floor for the Celtics.
He is clearly Boston’s second option, but how can he perform as their number-one scorer and leader?
This is going to be a challenging year for the Celtics and Brown.
Right now, he’s having a laugh about Tatum and his haircut, but he might miss seeing his face every night very soon.
The Eastern Conference won’t go easy on this team, and Brown will have a big target on his back, without Tatum, in 2025-26.
