Jaylen Brown praises LeBron James as a role model
NBA rookies look up to LeBron James, and Jaylen Brown is no exception.
The Celtics rookie faced off against James and the Cleveland Cavaliers for the first time in his young career Thursday, and after the game, Brown reflected on what James means to him both on and off the court.
A great quote from a great kid in Jaylen Brown. Truly believe @KingJames would appreciate these comments more than most other compliments. pic.twitter.com/5laTzY0VrA

Brown probably isn’t the only one who thinks this. We also know that James takes his responsibilities as a mentor seriously, and has gone out of his way to help another star rookie find his footing in the NBA.
