Jaylen Brown: ‘I always thought my first career ejection would be something a little more exciting’

“I wish I would’ve got my money’s worth,” said the NBPA VP.

Jaylen Brown has only been ejected from a game once in his career, and if you ask him what the reason was, he would be the first to tell you that he doesn’t know. “To be honest, I’m not sure, but I wish I would’ve got my money’s worth,” said Brown after the Boston Celtics‘ home win vs. the New York Knicks on Friday.

“I always thought my first career ejection would be something a little more exciting,” added the Georgia native. “Maybe a tussle or something, guys get folded up, go to the ground, not some overemotional ref who had a bad day.”

“What I’m most upset about is I should’ve got my (expletive) money’s worth,” emphasized Brown, clearly very perturbed by the pair of questionable technicals that led to his first career ejection. “”You could tell, his emotions were involved.”

“”I’m explaining to the ref, and he calls the second tech from the other side of the court, which is a clear example of somebody exercising their power to try to get somebody thrown out of the game,” said the Cal alum.

“I thought it was (expletive),” he suggested — and, judging from the response of the crowd in attendance, Brown was not alone in his assessment.
