Not everyone thinks Jaylen Brown is happy with his situation with the Boston Celtics ahead of his being offered a likely supermax contract extension that could pay him as much as nearly $300 million over five seasons.
Pointing to the systemic and overt racism in Boston that Brown has taken up the fight against coupled with other areas of friction in recent seasons, Ricky Williams recently made his case on the “Dan Lebatard Show” that the Georgia native ought to consider focusing on his quality of life. Using his own experiences with racism in the NFL as a baseline, Williams argues athletes ought to prioritize quality of life over money, and suggests players like Brown should be celebrated, not just tolerated.
Check out the clip embedded below to hear Williams’ assessment of Brown’s range of options in light of the power dynamics and social issues at play to see if you agree with what he thinks Brown ought to do.
