A talented shooting guard for the Boston Celtics has been making waves in the NBA since they drafted him with the third overall pick in 2016. Currently playing his sixth season in the NBA, the player’s trajectory only goes upwards. With the ability to play both as a small forward and a shooting guard, the player immediately became an asset to his team. Recently, the 26-year-old Boston Star was showing off his newfound interest.

The player took it to his social media to show that he has been taking drifting lessons. Drifting is a controlled skid of the car, which is done to show off skills and is used while taking sharp turns. The fans of the star were a little amused by the player’s actions and had a lot to say.

The $304 million star forward

Boston Celtics offered one of the biggest contracts in the NBA to their star forward Jaylen Brown. They offered him a five-year, $304m super-max contract extension, which would be the most valuable deal in NBA history. Due to this high basketball IQ and tenacity on the court, Brown drew a lot of attention quickly. Not only praises but the player faced a lot of criticism for his intelligence. But Brown remained focused and dedicated to improving his craft, silencing doubters with every game.

Brown’s dedication paid off in 2021 when he was chosen as an NBA All-Star for the first time, confirming his place among the league’s best players. He demonstrated his leadership and ability to step up his game in times of need by leading the Celtics to the NBA Finals the following season. Averaging career highs of 26.6 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 3.5 assists last season, Brown proved his worth to the Celtics. And by appreciating his hard work and efforts, they offered him the super-max contract extension.

Recently, because of the off-season, many players have been taking vacations or been spotted partying. Some players have even taken this time to perfect their craft and become a better version of themselves. But we see Brown pursuing a new hobby of his which has caused the fans to criticize him heavily. He was spotted taking drifting lessons in Tokyo.

Fans are in disbelief at Brown’s actions

Jaylen Brown took it to his social media to show off his newly found driving skills. The basketball player was in Tokyo taking lessons and learning the art of drifting.

Japan is very popular for the sport of drifting as a rider named Kunimitsu Takahashi popularized it. So when fans saw the video of Brown drifting, they were shocked as to what the player was up to and expressed their feelings.

One fan was so upset with Brown that he sarcastically wrote, “Yeah, this looks to be a lot more important than learning to dribble to his left.”

Another fan even taunted the Celtics superstar by saying, “Sick!! Boston drift coming this fall to NBA TV near you!” 

One Celtics fan who wanted Brown to improve on his skills said, “Not exactly the “driving” lesson i’d like him to take.”

A Celtics fan was so taken aback by watching the clip that he wrote, “I hope these lessons are applied on the court.”

A frustrated fan even pointed out that, “Haven’t seen a single left-handed dribble training video and we are less than 90 days from the season starting.”

With Brown potentially pursuing his new hobby, fans want him to get into the gym and start practicing. But some things they do not understand is that Brown has proved himself every time how valuable of an asset he is to his team. After all, he is not a 2x NBA All-Star for no reason.
