Visiting the White House after winning the NBA has got to be one of the biggest highlights in life. But what if something else steals that thunder? Biden shared that his Secret Service code name is “Celtic,” humorously adding, “Everybody behind me is Irish in their heart.” The comment brought some laughter, adding a fun twist to the formal celebration of Boston’s historic sporting achievement. But this isn’t the moment everyone is talking about.

It was Jaylen Brown who stole the show. While President Biden was delivering the speech, Brown did something that caught the attention of people. President Biden was saying, “Red Auerbach said that the Celtics aren’t just a basketball team, they’re a way of life,” while people were applauding, Jay was uncontrably smirking throughout these lines. He could also be seen shaking his head while trying to not laugh.

On a side note, US presidents really know ball don’t they?

After the Boston Celtics captured the 2024 NBA championship, the team made a visit to the White House on Thursday to celebrate their win. President Joe Biden hosted the team on the South Lawn, where he commemorated their dominant 5-game victory over the Dallas Mavericks in June. Biden praised their all-around excellence, acknowledging their strength on both offense and defense.

The White House visits by championship teams aren’t guaranteed, but they’ve become a widely expected part of victory celebrations. This tradition kicked off in 1865 when the Brooklyn Atlantics, an amateur baseball team, visited President Andrew Johnson after their win. It took almost 60 years for professional sports teams to join the tradition, which started in 1924. It’s wild to think how something so iconic today started with a small baseball team and eventually became a regular part of celebrating major sports victories.

But coming back to Jaylen Brown, nothing escapes the eyes of the fans. His laugh and then his trying to control it became an instant hit on social media, with fans flooding the comment sections with reactions.

Jaylen Brown enjoys a ‘historic’ lighthearted moment, fans admit he got them laughing as well!

One netizen commented, “Jaylen Brown bursted out laughing at him *laughing emoji*”. Whatever was going through Brown’s mind, that we cannot find out, it has to be something funny. Because President Biden did not say anything hilarious for sure. It was a lighthearted and human moment amid the formal celebration, showing a more playful side of Brown that fans couldn’t get enough of.

Another fan shared how the moment had them cracking up too, saying, “JB got me hollin,” pointing out Brown’s infectious laughter that made the occasion even more memorable. Jay was barely holding it together as Biden spoke, trying his hardest not to burst into laughter. And let’s be honest, we all know the struggle.

Fans also noticed Jayson Tatum’s subtle but supportive reaction to his teammate’s enjoyment. A commenter summed it up: “JT and JB *laughing emoji* *shamrock leaf*”, showing how the two were feeding off each other’s energy. The two stars’ visible chemistry at the White House resonated with fans. There was no jealousy among them even when Brown won the NBA Finals MVP title, the latter admitted he shares it with Tatum.

Now, let’s talk about a comment that stirred up some debate. “JB is trying his best to not bust out laughing. And the MVP should’ve presented the jersey… They disrespect Brown so much on the most subtle ways to keep pushing TATUM as the Face.”

Fans are definitely noticing how often Jaylen Brown gets overlooked despite his key role. Moments like these remind us why we love JB—he remains unfazed, keeps things lighthearted, and continues to make big contributions. It’s clear that no matter the situation, Brown’s ability to stay grounded and bring positivity to the team is something fans appreciate every single time.
