Two-time National Basketball Association All-Star Jaylen Brown recently signed a record five-year, $304 million supermax deal to stay with the Boston Celtics. He said he is going to put it to good use through the various causes he supports.
At a recent media conference after signing the record contract, Jaylen Brown shared that among the things he wants to address is the wealth disparity in the city of Boston by creating what he described as a Black Wall Street.
The 26-year-old player said:
“I want to launch a project to bring Black Wall Street here in Boston. I want to attack the wealth disparity here. I think there’s analytics that supports that stimulating the wealth gap could actually be something that could be better for the entire economy.”
Brown said that he plans to collaborate with various individuals to see his plans through and together make a difference.
Since being drafted third overall by the Celtics in 2016, Brown has been at the forefront of some social causes. His insights have been so valuable that at the age of 22, he became youngest elected vice-president of the National Basketball Players Association.
