Jaylen Brown has selfishly announced that he will selfishly not be performing his renowned high-flying aerial acrobatics at this year’s dunk contest. It’s like he wants the dunk contest to suck. I bet that’s what he wants. He seeks to inflate his own value by withholding his talents in the area of bigtime slam-jams, hoping that people, after seeing this year’s lackluster dunk contest, come away with an enhanced opinion of him as a player, imagining him doing sweet wham-blams in place of Derrick Jones.
Who isn’t even a real NBA player, by the way. I just checked and the definition for being a “real” NBA player involves more than 30 minutes played. So that means no Derrick Jones and especially no JamesOn Curry.
This selfishness by Brown really taints my view of these highlights. 20 points is a career-high for him, which is great, but how great is it really when he’s not even willing to do a few dunks during a showcase of the NBA’s best rim-devastators? Not that great at all.
