In a season where some thought the Boston Celtics would have a bad year, they are still one of the top teams in the league without their star player Jayson Tatum. One reason for this is the play of Jaylen Brown, who should be in MVP conversations for his current season.
The Browns have also found a way to take advantage of things outside of basketball this season, one of which is live streaming. Through this, he has shown people a different side of himself, while also enjoying other things in his life.
According to ESPN's Brett Okamoto, during All-Star weekend, Brown was asked about the idea of getting into MMA, and apparently, he's already talked to Dana White about the opportunity.
"To be honest, I've toyed with it and I've talked to a few people," Brown said. "Maybe after certain parts of my career, I'd love to be involved in something like the UFC or boxing. I've talked to Dana White about some things, but as things progress, we'll see. We'll see."
Brown has Muay Thai training, so he's not too far from MMA. At some point it wouldn't be a surprise if Brown finds his way into the ring in some capacity, whether it's for one of his streams or an actual match.
At the moment, this may not be the best move during the season, and it's clear he has bigger goals to achieve on the court. The Celtics are in good shape heading into the second half of the season, and they could make the playoffs.
There's also a possibility that Jayson Tatum returns as he continues to check the boxes in his rehab. He recently took part in the Maine Celtics practice and it will be interesting to see what other steps he needs to take to return to action.
