Jaylen Brown Recalls $180K Experience To Describe His “Welcome to the League” Moment
The first of everything is always special. For example: debuting in the NBA with the Boston Celtics. The Celtics’ third overall pick of 2016, Jaylen Brown remembers his ‘moment’ to date. Coming off a great stint with the University of California, the then-rookie JB walked onto the parquet floor with eyes gleaming with dreams. He’s stood the test of time, and look where he’s now! A 3x NBA All-Star, 2024 NBA Finals MVP, and a champion- more achievements are on their way for sure.
Appearing on the popular Hot Ones chatshow on YouTube, Jaylen Brown shared his first welcome moment. It seems just yesterday, the 20-year-old, Marietta-native donned the classic green jersey! But it’s been 8 years and 540 games, yet the first moment to glory can never be forgotten. So, when host Sean Evans asked: “Do you remember your first welcome to the NBA moment?” JB while munching on some spicy wings, answered in a blink.
“Yeah. When the first check hits your bank account. “You’re welcome.” That was my welcome, because like, I told them to mail it to me so I could just feel it and touch it.” Jaylen Brown proudly and cheekily declared. He added: “Like, I wanted to see my first check. I wanted to feel it in my hand. The first check that I got was like 182,000 or something like that and I remember seeing that as an 18YO coming from a single-parent household. And I just see 180,000 hit and the first check I was like, ‘Alright! Welcome to the NBA’. “ A first paycheck of $180K was enough for JB to get his welcome moment.

For someone who’s grown up through the rough terrains of life, achieving one’s dream is like experiencing Paradise. So when JB got his moment to shine, he did. And he has been the brightest one for a long time now. For five consecutive seasons, Jaylen Brown has maintained a point average above 20, demonstrating how he has refined his skills as a shooting guard for the Celtics and has taken the lead for the team.
