Jaylen Brown dunked on kid who said Ben Simmons was better than him

Jaylen Brown

Rest assured, Boston fans: the juices of competition flow vigorously through the veins of Jaylen Brown.

The Celtics rookie made headlines on Thursday after dunking on a child at a summer camp for committing a very particular offense, per Jay King of MassLive.com. The youngster’s transgression? Having the temerity to suggest that Ben Simmons is better than Brown.

Here is video of Brown dropping the hammer of basketball justice on the head of the miscreant young whippersnapper:

Truth be told however, the kid was probably right. The 19-year-old Brown, who was chosen by the Celtics No. 3 overall in last week’s draft, two picks after Simmons, has a lot to prove after many a critic blasted the pick as a reach.

Brown doesn’t quite have the superstar potential that Simmons has. But what he does have is a natural gift for scoring, outrageous athleticism, and the physical gifts to defend multiple positions at the NBA-level. Throw in this double dose of competitive fire to silence all doubters, no matter their age, and Brown could be well on his way to living up to the lofty expectations that come with being a top-three draft selection in the Association.
