Jaylen Brown, Boston Celtics star, reacted positively to not making Team USA's Paris Olympics squad, expressing happiness for teammate Derrick White who replaced Kawhi Leonard. Brown hinted at Nike's influence in his omission but clarified his frustration was aimed at Nike, not White. Despite his disappointment, Brown maintained a good relationship with White and other Celtics teammates selected for Team USA. While Brown's vocal comments about Nike led to speculation, he emphasized his support for White and his teammates.
