The Boston Celtics are a perennial title contender nowadays because of their star wing tandem of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.
Tatum and Brown led the Celtics to another Eastern Conference Finals appearance in the 2023 NBA Playoffs, though they fell to the Miami Heat in a thrilling seven-game series.
Following that defeat, Boston doubled down on their core by signing Brown to a record extension worth over $300 million for five years.
It’s the richest deal in NBA history, though with the salary cap set to gradually increase over the next few seasons that number will look more and more digestible.
Brown has evolved into one of the league’s best two-way wings and still can feasibly improve his game.
Aside from his basketball exploits, Brown is also known for giving back to the community which is why he will be playing in the Big 3 All-Star Game in London via Tomer Azarly of Clutch Points.
The Big 3 announced that Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown will play in the All-Star Game in London tomorrow night.
Brown will be playing to support local charity, London Youth, which aims to support and improve the lives of London’s youth. @thebig3 will match Jaylen’s donation.

The Big 3 All-Star Game features several former NBA players like Joe Johnson and Leandro Barbosa but Brown immediately becomes the main draw of the event.
The Celtics star has committed himself to improving the lives of others through various charitable programs and community events, and his appearance in the game is another way of raising funds.
While competing and winning championships is the primary goal for every NBA player, Brown is a good reminder that there’s more to life than basketball and that people with his platform can make a real impact.
The game will be fun for fans, but even better for those that will benefit from Brown’s donation.
