In the wake of All-NBA Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown agreeing to an historic supermax contract extension that is the richest contract in league history, opinions circulated on Twitter about whether certain players are better than Brown.
Denver Nuggets big man Nikola Jokic, Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, Los Angeles Lakers veteran LeBron James, Phoenix Suns swingman Kevin Durant and Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert were some of the players Brown was compared to after the announcement. The implication was those players would be more deserving of a supermax contract.
The hosts of the “How Bout Them Celtics!” podcast got together to talk over the signing and the hot takes it elicited from people on social media.
Check out the clip embedded above to hear their thoughts on the former Cal standout’s new contract and how it is being received.
