Boston Celtics wing Jaylen Brown dropped by the studio of The Big Tigger Morning Show With Jazzy McBee, a V-103.3 FM radio show based in Atlanta, for a Sept. 2 interview.<\/p>\n
During that talk<\/a>, Brown, who was born and raised in Marietta, Georgia, was asked if there’s “any chance” fans could see Brown in an Atlanta Hawks uniform someday (17:53 mark).<\/p>\n “You never know,” Brown said.<\/p>\n “…I feel you,” Brown added when show host Darian “Big Tigger” Morgan said he’d love to see him play for his hometown.<\/p>\n “I think my grandma would too…you never know, we’ll see.”<\/p>\n To be clear, Brown didn’t express any displeasure with his current situation with Boston. Rather, he was just answering a speculative question about the possibility of playing in Atlanta down the road.<\/p>\n In the meantime, Brown, who turns 29 on Oct. 28, is entering the second-year of a five-season, $285.4 million contract<\/a> that runs through the 2028-29 campaign.<\/p>\n Brown has been exceptional during his nine seasons with the C’s and specifically during his last five. Since the 2020-21 campaign, Brown has averaged 24.0 points, 6.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists. He’s also made four All-Star Games during that time and earned a spot on the 2022-23 All-NBA Second Team.<\/p>\n Brown also helped lead the 2023-24 Celtics to an NBA title, winning the Eastern Conference Finals MVP and NBA Finals MVP awards.<\/p>\n
