Rich Paul downplays Jaylen Brown – Bronny James kerfuffle

In a recent courtside conversation, Brown was seen chatting with a fan about Bronny James perhaps not being good enough for the NBA.

Over the last few days, star Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown has found himself getting some negative press about a conversation we are not even 100% sure actually happened. In a recent courtside conversation, Brown was seen chatting with a fan about Bronny James perhaps not being good enough for the NBA, or at least that is what untrained lip-readers seemed to think.

Brown, for his part, did not deny that he may have said such a thing when responding to speculation about that conversation. But that did not stop Bronny’s agent Rich Paul from trying to defuse the situation on a recent episode of ESPN’s “Pat McAfee” show. “I saw some of the stuff that came out about Jaylen Brown,” he began via Boston Dot Com’s Khari Thompson.

“You can’t take everybody’s opinion and try to turn it against them or think that he’s a bad person …” he said. “No — they have opinions, they can say what they want to say.”

“At least he is someone who is actually in the league,” continued Paul. “There’s a lot of ‘experts’ with no expertise. He’s actually an expert with expertise.”

“So, if he has that opinion, he can have that opinion, but I know Jaylen. I know he doesn’t mean that with any malice. He was just having a conversation.”
