Jaylen Brown set the record straight that winning will be his main priority as he joins the Philadelphia 76ers.
In his press conference as the newest official member of the franchise, the superstar wing made it clear that he could not care less about his scoring production as he enters a stacked Philadelphia team.
"My focus is winning. Obviously, other people's focus may be scoring, but my focus is going into every practice, every meeting, every shootaround, every film session thinking, how do we win night in and night out? Sometimes that may change, sometimes it may look different.
"But whatever it takes, at this point in my career, nothing else really moves me."

The Philadelphia 76ers acquired Jaylen Brown in one of the most stunning trades in NBA history, sending Paul George and a bunch of draft capital to the Boston Celtics.
The blockbuster Brown trade served as the driving force for the Celtics to ultimately win the LeBron James sweepstakes, as the 41-year-old superstar inked a two-year, $8 million deal.
With Brown and James coming in, the 76ers will parade four NBA stars who averaged more than 20+ points in the past NBA season. Tyrese Maxey (28.3) and Joel Embiid (26.9) have led the charge for the Sixers in scoring last 2025-26, while Brown ranked fourth in the NBA with his 28.7 points average.
James tallied 20.9 points in his last season for the Los Angeles Lakers.
In the end, Brown is fully mindful that individual success is not the goal of everyone in Philly, as the Sixers are desperate to finally win an NBA title for the first time since 1983.
"I don't care about the outside success. I never did. I don't care about the MVP awards or the Finals MVP. None of that stuff really moves me. It's nice, but the only thing that's going to move me is doing something collectively.
"So, a championship, that's what I'm looking forward to, trying to start that journey and building toward it. All the other stuff that comes along with it is just a distraction to me. Whatever it takes on a night-to-night basis, it's whatever it takes."
