Jaylen Brown is in the middle of a career year and an MVP-level season, but has continued to express his frustration time after time with the officiating.<\/p>\n

He has felt that he doesn’t get enough calls, specifically on plays when he drives to the basket.<\/p>\n

It’s been a theme he has brought up a few times this season, but he reached a boiling point recently, which led to consequences.<\/p>\n

What sarcastic comment forced the NBA to fine Jaylen Brown?<\/p>\n

After the Celtics<\/a>‘ loss to the Spurs <\/a>on Saturday night, Jaylen Brown let out his anger towards the officials in his post-game interviews.<\/p>\n

Regarding the officiating, Brown said, \u201cI’ll accept the fine at this point. I thought it was some b\u2014 tonight.\u201d \u201cThe inconsistency is f\u2014 crazy. Give me the fine\u201d (via Noa Dalzell<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Well, Brown did get the fine he was sarcastically asking for, as the NBA <\/a>announced on Monday that they fined brown $35,000 for his comments.<\/p>\n

The Spurs<\/a> had 20 free throws compared to the Celtics’ 4 attempts at the line on Saturday, which might have been why Brown finally chose to say something (Brown had 0 attempts that night).<\/p>\n

The Celtics, to this point, are last in FTA this season, with 18.9.<\/p>\n

To Brown, a $35,000 fine isn’t much considering he’s one of the highest-paid players in the NBA, so maybe it’s worth it in his mind if he can get the message across at the cost of a fine from the league.<\/p>\n
