Fans share hilarious reactions to Jaylen Brown craving a pair of Kyrie's from 2023 NBA All-Star Game: “all star break got you bored n on twitter”
Boston Celtics star forward Jaylen Brown wowed the fans as he showed off his skills in his second All-Star Game appearance on Sunday night. The much-awaited game wasn't as fun as fans expected it to be, and they shared their reactions after Brown became active on Twitter.
Brown tried to make the game fun by going after his Celtics teammate Jayson Tatum on multiple consecutive possessions. He also showed off his aerial skills with his thunderous dunks, which were treats for fans. But because of how boring the game was, fans quickly noticed that the two-time All-Star was more active on social media.
The third pick in 2016 retweeted a photo of Kyrie Irving's attempt to cover up the Nike logo on his shoes.
"These was straight fire I need a pair," Brown tweeted.

Fans shared their reactions to Brown's tweet regarding Irving's shoes. Here are some of the best reactions.

@FCHWPO This ain't it, mate.
Respectfully.
@FCHWPO Much love Jaylen. But hell nah…

@FCHWPO Please tell me you're joking
@FCHWPO Bro needs to stop tweeting
@FCHWPO No words. Just pain. Buffalo Irving.
@FCHWPO Now Jaylen, you know those shoes ugly
Irving's coverage of the Nike logo was due to the fact that his contract was suspended after his antisemitic issues at the start of the season. He's a free agent in the shoe market.

Jaylen Brown and coach Mike Malone didn't seem to enjoy the All-Star Game
After the game, Brown gave his thoughts on how the game turned out:
"Real basketball is different. This was like a layup line. ... It was just a glorified layup line. We got to figure out how to make the game a little bit more competitive."

Denver Nuggets coach Mike Malone had a similar take on how the game was played:
"That’s the worst basketball game ever played. … I don’t know if you can fix it."

In the past three seasons, the competitive nature of the stars has gone down after many thought it was fixed by the new format. Fans could lose interest in watching the All-Star Game if this trend continues. Commissioner Adam Silver has yet to release a statement on what the league is planning on doing to fix the re-emerging problem.
