Is Boston’s Jaylen Brown overpaid? One NBA legend thinks so

Old man yelling at cloud, or legitimate criticism?

Not everyone is a fan of the supermax contract extension the Boston Celtics recently tendered to All-NBA forward Jaylen Brown, and famed enforcer Charles Oakley is among them.

The legendary forward took umbrage with Brown’s historically massive new deal, suggesting the Georgia native was not even a top 30 player in the league, never mind worthy of the contract he is now the owner of.

Oakley also griped about rule enforcement — we’ll leave the enforcer joke on the table — in the Association today, suggesting that too many players get paid too much money. Old man yelling at cloud, or legitimate criticism?

Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear Oak get into all the above with Los Angeles Laker legend Norm Cook and decide for yourself whether Oakley has a point about today’s NBA.
