JAYLEN BROWN: They [older NBA players] didn’t make as much money. The NBA doesn’t pick up their phone calls, so they gotta lash it out somewhere—on someone. So they start talking trash. That’s why I don’t want to go at them. But I will praise the ones who give their flowers to the next generation. And one of my OGs, one of the people that does it best, is Kevin Garnett—and also Paul Pierce. Like, I’ve only seen—especially KG—I’ve only seen him giving love and light to the next generation of players. Like, all the time. Despite what people might feel about him, or his career in the past, or how much money he made—he seems to be over the moon when he hears someone signing a new deal. -via YouTube / April 7, 2025
