While in Las Vegas, Jaylen Brown attended the Summer League clash between the Lakers and Celtics on Monday and took the opportunity to spit his venom on Bronny James. Caught red-handed by the cameras, he then spoke out on social media.

Spotted a few days ago in Los Angeles for the ESPY Awards ceremony, he has since made the short trip to Las Vegas to get closer to the courts.

Jaylen Brown was at the Thomas & Mack Center on Monday to watch the gala match between the Celtics and Lakers in the Summer League.

A match during which he unwittingly stole the spotlight from the players on both teams.

Trapped, Jaylen Brown immediately corrects the shot on Bronny James

Sitting on the edge of the court with his new girlfriend, Kysre Gondrezick, and WNBA phenomenon Angel Reese, Brown was logically filmed by the cameras of NBC Sports Boston .

Problem, he was then caught questioning the level of Bronny James , who was playing under his eyes. A blunder that quickly went viral and led him to rectify the situation somewhat on X :

It’s a flex to have your son in the NBA alongside you, it reflects excellence and longevity! Bronny has all the tools at his disposal to succeed and I look forward to following his progress

A rather unexpected public speech in which JB does not deny the comments attributed to him… and which would have been made under duress for many amused Internet users:

You got a DM from Bron, huh?

Black SUVs came to his house

Failing to deny having questioned Bronny James’ pro status, Jaylen Brown said he was impatient to see him grow in the NBA while praising the duo he will form with his father LeBron. A catch-up that does not really exude sincerity.
