Jaylen Brown, the 2024 NBA Finals MVP, made headlines during the Boston Celtics’ victory parade. Brown was seen sporting a ‘State Your Source’ shirt, a clear nod to his ongoing public exchange with ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith.
The shirt became a talking point as it referenced a tweet from Brown back in May, where he challenged Smith’s report about his marketability being affected by his ego. Smith had relayed comments from an unnamed NBA source, suggesting that Brown’s attitude was not well-received and impacted his appeal to sponsors.

Brown’s choice of attire at the parade was more than just a fashion statement; it was a subtle yet powerful retort to Smith’s earlier comments.
As the NBA champion, Brown has not only proven his skills on the court but also demonstrated his ability to handle media scrutiny with grace and wit.
