Boston Celtics‘ recent deal for star Jaylen Brown took the NBA world by storm. He went on to create history with the biggest NBA contract in history, worth $308 million. While the hoops community showered the 26-year-old star with praise, the controversial columnist, Ben Shapiro trashed him. Moreover, he trolled Brown, days after his heated take on Greta Gerwig’s new film, Barbie.
The Celtics have reached the deep end of the postseason in the last two seasons, almost clinching the title in 2022. Importantly, the team heavily relied on its unbreakable trio, comprising Jayson Tatum, Marcus Smart and Brown. Even though Brown has produced various game-winning performances, fans still point out a particular flaw in his game. And Ben Shapiro didn’t shy away from addressing it.
Ben Shapiro calls out Jaylen Brown in a tweet
Ben Shapiro is famous for his conservative political videos that go viral on social media and YouTube. The 39-year-old media personality recently went viral for his take on the film Barbie, as he went on a 43-minute rant, criticizing the politics of the film. Following that, he reacted to the biggest NBA contract with a brutal attack on the star.
The prominent NBA insider, Shams Charania, confirmed the biggest deal along with its value via his Twitter.
Shapiro took to the tweet and retweeted it with a sly dig aimed at Jaylen Brown. He wrote, “Man, imagine how much he’d be worth if he could dribble or go to his left.”
Following the tweet, thousands of fans engaged in a debate, some defending the hooper and some siding with Shapiro’s take.
Despite the debatable statement, Brown has faced several criticisms for his ability to dribble the ball to his left and causing a lot of turnovers. Particularly during game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Miami Heat. His blunders during the elimination game opened him up to a lot of backlash.
On the other hand, Shapiro garnered thousands of reactions for this take, just like his callout of the Greta Gerwig film, Barbie.
