Smith, Reacts to Making 2nd Team All-NBA in Video"},"content":{"rendered":"<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">The ongoing feud between Jaylen Brown and Stephen A. Smith continued on Sunday. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">The Boston Celtics star responded to the ESPN personality&#8217;s recent comments on First Take during his Twitch stream. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Brown also reacted to being named Second Team All-NBA on Sunday and shouted out his teammate, Derrick White, for making All-Defense. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Brown is coming off the best season of his career, in which he averaged 28.7 points, 6.9 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game, carrying Boston to the No. 2 seed despite Jayson Tatum being out for the majority of the season. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">But Brown said his best is yet to come. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">&#8220;I feel like I&#8217;m coming into my prime,&#8221; he <a class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-inherit MuiLink-root MuiLink-underlineAlways MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__ui__link__medium_strong css-lu48cp\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/zm_cox\/status\/2058689859888279997\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">said<\/a> on his stream. &#8220;I haven&#8217;t reached my limit yet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Brown added that he hopes to spend the offseason working out with greats like Steve Nash, Kevin Garnett, James Harden and Hakeem Olajuwon. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">While the story of the offseason should be the Celtics regrouping to try to make a title run after a first-round playoff exit, it&#8217;s largely been consumed so far by the beef between Brown and Smith. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">After the Celtics&#8217; season ended, Brown<a class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-inherit MuiLink-root MuiLink-underlineAlways MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__ui__link__medium_strong css-lu48cp\" href=\"https:\/\/bleacherreport.com\/articles\/25424794-jaylen-brown-calls-out-joel-embiid-flopping-nba-refs-video-after-celtics-eliminated-76ers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"> took to Twitch<\/a> to vocalize some of his frustrations with the officiating in Boston&#8217;s first-round series with Philadelphia and called out Sixers&#8217; star Joel Embiid. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Brown was <a class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-inherit MuiLink-root MuiLink-underlineAlways MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__ui__link__medium_strong css-lu48cp\" href=\"https:\/\/bleacherreport.com\/articles\/25425344-jaylen-brown-fined-nba-how-much-did-celtics-star-lose-live-stream-comments-about-refs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">fined<\/a> for those comments and proceeded to double down on them, which Smith took issue with. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Things escalated last week when Brown <a class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-inherit MuiLink-root MuiLink-underlineAlways MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__ui__link__medium_strong css-lu48cp\" href=\"https:\/\/bleacherreport.com\/articles\/25428949-jaylen-brown-says-f-k-stephen-calls-out-espn-commentator-viral-live-stream-video-amid-feud\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">said<\/a> &#8220;F&#8211;k Stephen A.&#8221; and called for the veteran sports analyst to retire. Smith retaliated by telling Brown that he&#8217;s capable of taking his reporting to another &#8220;level.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Neither side seems willing to back down, so the back-and-forth could continue throughout the offseason. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The ongoing feud between Jaylen Brown and Stephen A.
