When Jaylen Brown was elected to the NBPA’s Executive Committee, he made history as its youngest member at just 22 years old—four years younger than anyone else on the committee. Reflecting on the moment, Brown had called it “pretty dope” as he rejoined the Celtics for practice in Milwaukee after the All-Star break.

The committee, which includes a president, first vice president, secretary-treasurer, and six vice presidents, added Brown to its leadership group despite his age. It marked a significant step in his off-court influence. Brown secured another term as vice president of the National Basketball Players Association’s Executive Committee after earning the players’ vote in 2022.

And now, another term for the Finals MVP. After securing an All-Star Game victory, Jaylen Brown took a moment to discuss his role within the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA).

“I think it’s my third term now, and they’re kind of pushing me a little bit forward now to maybe take the next step and being maybe the official president,” Brown said. “I have a lot of stuff going on, but I enjoy using my platform. Learning about the players, hearing from the players, and applying, like some of our voices, to what needs to be changed? What we would like to be changed. So it’s been—I’ve been serving for almost nine years.”

The Celtics star admitted he’s lost track of exactly how long he’s been involved. Despite the demanding role, Brown values the experience. “I’ve learned a lot, been on a lot of phone calls. A lot of Zoom calls. Talk to a lot of, uh, people, spend time with Adam, build a relationship with everybody on the NBA side,” he shared.

Looking ahead, Brown remains committed to advocating for players. “We’ll see how the next year or two plays out but I love serving the players and serving the Next Generation of players and what that’s going to look like.”. Well, he might think twice about serving one of them after the All-Star tournament final.

During the finals, in one play, Brown received a long pass at the half line. He just had to beat Donovan Mitchell to get a bucket. But he messed up the layup. After which, Spida taunted the Celtics guard with, “No left hand, no left hand.” Ouch. The disrespect. But Brown was just smiling at the comment.

Before the All-Star match, he already hinted at the change he planned to bring as a representative.

Jaylen Brown wants to expand his portfolio, he’d like a slice of the Celtics’ success!

Jaylen Brown isn’t just making headlines with his game—he’s stirring up ideas off the court too. At the All-Star Media Day, the 28-year-old forward, now a seasoned All-Star with his fourth appearance (and third straight), dropped a bold suggestion. “I would allow players to invest in the team that they play,” he said. And if that doesn’t get you thinking, you’re not alone.

You might recall that big names like Steph Curry hinted at similar changes before. But right now, NBA rules keep players on the court and out of the boardroom by banning any investment in their own teams. This rule actively prevents conflicts of interest and upholds fairness—just like keeping your cheat codes off the game console.

Now, imagine if the Celtics‘ star’s idea caught on. Players could actually have skin in the game, owning a piece of the action. That could mean stronger bonds between athletes, team owners, and even fans—think of it as turning every game into a more personal, high-stakes affair. For Brown, this feels like a natural next step who’s already known for his leadership and vocal presence both on and off the court.

While the idea still remains a long way from reality, Brown’s comments remind us that today’s NBA stars are hungry for more than just a paycheck. They’re looking to shape the league’s future, and he might just change the game forever.
