The NBA World got to see the Boston Celtics in action for the first time since adding stars Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis. The Celtics made their NBA preseason debut against Joel Embiid and Co. last night. Fans at the TD Garden were excited to see their new roster in full force, and the Celtics did not fail to deliver. Jayson Tatum and Co defeated the 76ers 114-106, who were playing without their superstars Joel Embiid and James Harden. But the night did not start well for the Celtics star Jaylen Brown.
Jaylen Brown had a Shaqtin? a Fool moment as soon as he stepped foot on the court. And fans let the superstar know about his hilarious mistake despite him getting a win over the Sixers.

Jaylen Brown did not start his NBA preseason on the right foot. As soon as the superstar entered the court, the Celtics fans and announcers noticed something peculiar. Brown had worn his game shorts backward. It took some time for Jaylen Brown to realize his hilarious wardrobe malfunction as he played the first few minutes of the game with the Nike and NBA logo on his backside. Even Brown?s teammates on the bench had a good laugh about the hilarious blunder.
After the game, Jaylen Brown caught strays from the NBA fans as they trolled him for his Shaqtin? a Fool moment. One fan even linked Brown?s mistake to his left-hand dribbling skills, “Put them on with his left hand”. Brown has become infamous for his weak left-hand dribbling skills, and fans constantly roast him about it. So, when a fan saw the opportunity to do it again, he took his shot.
