Jaylen Brown Embraces the Villain Role
After advancing to the conference finals, the 27-year-old Celtics player said he embraces the villain role.
“Whatever you do is going to be scrutinized — or no matter how good you are, it’s never going to be enough or (bring) any praise or media attention; it’s tough, but at the same time, it is what it is. You have to embrace that villain. As I get older, I start to embrace it more. Brown said during an interview with the Athletic.
Brown mentioned that he does not care about others’ opinions or appreciation and is focusing on helping his team win the championship this year.
“Embracing not giving a f**k whether they see (his value) or don’t see it, whether they appreciate it or don’t appreciate it. I’m focused on helping my team, helping my family, helping the city, and I go from there.” Brown added.
