Jaylen Brown sought much of the 2020 NBA playoffs, averaging 21. 8 points, 7. 5 rebounds and 2. 3 assists in 17 games.
So believe what it could have been like if the Boston Celtics winger had chosen not to participate in the resumption of the season.
Believe it or not, Brown thought about not entering the NBA’s Walt Disney World bubble in Orlando, Florida this summer. He opened up about his difficult resolution on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” on Tuesday.
“My grandfather was diagnosed with cancer just before they talked about getting into the bubble,” Brown revealed, MassLive. com. “He’s lived with me for four, five, six months. He needed me. But when we had the conversation, I didn’t necessarily need to start chemotherapy.
«. . . He just said it was over, he said he was tired. How I convinced him I said I was going to play there, but you have to play too. Then he liked the sound and signed up.
Naturally, Brown found it difficult to see his grandfather Willie in this state, and his grandfather’s combativeness encouraged him.
“He’s like the toughest guy I’ve ever met, by the way,” Brown says. “He’s like a superhero. He in the Vietnam War shot him twice in the head, had an attack on the center, a cancer, a COVID, all at the same time and conquered everything. “
Brown said his grandfather was fine now while continuing his treatment.
