When something important is about to happen in a person’s life, it’s quite normal to be a bit jittery in anticipation. Because of a long break between their Conference Finals win and last night’s game, the Celtics players had to deal with a similar feeling before game day arrived. While most players resorted to spending time with their family and loved ones to calm their nerves, superstar Jaylen Brown had a different approach during the break, which even left the fans questioning the multi-millionaire’s life choices.
After leading the Celtics to victory last night, Jaylen Brown revealed how he spent his nine-day break heading into the game, “A lot of our guys probably spend time with their family and stuff like that, but I don’t have a family. I’m single… So, I’ve been binge-watching Harry Potter.” While most of Brown’s teammates are married with children, Brown, 27, is yet to tie the knot. And hearing Brown’s response, Basketball Forever page even posted an AI image of him wearing a wizard robe and hat, binging on Harry Potter while eating some popcorn.

Fans in disbelief after “Lonely” Jaylen Brown’s confession
While Brown responded to the question with complete honesty, fans were left a bit confused by his response. Wondering how a player as rich as Brown could be so lonely in his personal life, one fan wrote, “Lonely asf lol with all that money.” Although not official, Brown’s rumored relationship with Burgos has been in full swing for the past two years. And they were even spotted dancing together at a NYC pub. So, it’s not certain if Brown is actually single as he claims. Meanwhile, realizing his situation, another fan wrote, “Lonely at the top.”
Being one of the top athletes in the world comes with a lot of challenges and sacrifices. Maybe that’s why Brown has stayed single because he wants to focus on basketball and winning a title. Sharing the same sentiment, another netizen commended Brown’s work ethic saying, “Jaylen really just be out there hooping and going home, no distractions.” Even in these playoffs, he is averaging nearly twenty-five points and over six rebounds, and some might claim he has been better than Jayson Tatum so far.
