Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown has had lots of time to respond to anyone who doubts his game, his abilities and contributions to winning basketball – and NBA media members aren’t exempt.
After a back-and-forth with ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith, which has gone on for more than a month, Brown’s media feuds continue.

Brown went off on X, formerly Twitter, in a series of posts including a response to ESPN NBA Front Office Insider Bobby Marks about the 2024 Finals MVP being viewed as the “seventh-best player” on a team by analytics.
“Analytics nowadays used to discredit and control narratives – Roll the ball out none of these guys better than me on both ends who does he work for,” Brown said in a post.
“Nobody has won more combined regular season and playoff games since I entered the league 10 years ago,” Brown continued in a pair of posts. “Analytics have / are ruining the game we playing AI hoops.”
Marks responded to Brown on the social media platform saying that his full statement wasn’t posted in the aggregator platform on X, The Dunk Central or NBA Central, a page non-affiliated with the NBA.

“But what wasn’t posted was the 2m of saying I’m not an analytics person but an eye test guy. That I would want Jaylen Brown on my team. That you impact winning (191-80 in the last 4 years), is a top-10 player and would help any team looking to win a championship. That part of course didn’t make it. But that’s the media in 2026,” Marks said.
