Jaylen Brown leaves Boston as a larger-than-life figure in the community
Дата публикации: 03-07-2026 01:24:10
Celtics fans were stunned by the trade of Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers, but so was the Boston community as a whole.
In Brown’s 10 years with the team, he grew a legacy that extends far beyond the basketball court.
“He’s a part of the community,” said Rosey Jones, manager of Ali’s Roti Restaurant in Mattapan. “It’s sad. It’s really sad for Bostonians, the Celtics.”
“We needed him, because that’s part of our cultural stance,” said Amelia Ali, whose family owns the restaurant. “That’s the kind of thing that energizes the youth, is when they see their own kind out there doing it in the streets for the community and making it happen.”
Talking to Bostonians Thursday, you could feel their pain.
“The trade of Jaylen Brown is just — it’s sad,” said Boston City Councilor Ruthzee Louijeune. “It’s like we’re losing an important part of our community here in Boston.”
Mayor Michelle Wu said in a social media post that he “never stopped showing up for Boston” and making clear that the city loves him.
Brown has been known for fighting for social justice and contributing to community programs.
“He was a community person who didn’t need any fanfare, no cameras,” said Andrea Swain of Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston. “He just saw a need, and he took care of it.”
Students in the organization needed guidance during the pandemic, and Brown showed up.
“One afternoon, Jaylen pulled up, asked for all 90 kids to go out in the backyard, spread out — he talked to them,” Swain said. “He encouraged them. He challenged them. He asked them to be intelligent, and those kids went from failing to every single kid being on the honor roll.”
“Jaylen, you are welcome in Ali’s any day! Please show up. We’ll give you a hug and a good roti,” said Jones.
