LeBron James in the gym yessir;
Jaylen Brown has signed the largest contract in NBA history, and he wants everyone involved to know how grateful he is.
Brown, a Boston Celtics player, sent a lovely personal email to Denver Post reporter Mike Singer this week. Singer was among the media members who voted for Brown to be named All-NBA last season.
“Dear Mike,” began Brown’s note to the former. “I just wanted to thank you for including me on the All-NBA team last year.” As a current NBA player, I am well aware of the importance of the All-NBA voting system and its impact on my career. I’m also aware that none of you were asked to do this as journalists.
Nonetheless, I know you considered all deserving candidates, and I appreciate your vote. Thank you again, and best wishes to you and your family during this off-season. Best wishes, Brown and Jaylen.”Singer’s name appears on the public All-NBA ballots, indicating that he backed Brown’s selection to the Second Team. The Celtics were able to offer Brown a supermax contract after he finally made the All-NBA Second Team (his first All-NBA team). He signed a record-breaking supermax contract with the Boston Celtics last month, worth $304 million over five years.
Some Bostonians believe Brown is not worth that much money. Brown cannot be accused of being ungrateful after being given such a large sum of money.
