NBA Star Jaylen Brown Talks Player Equity

It's been an interesting journey.

Bloomberg Talks
NBA Star Jaylen Brown Talks Player Equity

It's been frustrating at points of time, you know, and things that I still think that players should get access to.

What I think needs to change, I think players should, and this is one of the things I was mentioning that causes some of the frustration, I think players should be able to invest alongside in ownership groups and business opportunities.

Bloomberg Talks
NBA Star Jaylen Brown Talks Player Equity

You play for the Celtics for 20 years, you should get a piece of equity because you helped accumulate the growth.

I would propose, I have proposed, but we'll see.
