Joe Budden claims Jaylen Brown could've 'shut down' ESPY red carpet with different date instead of Kysre Gondrezick
Jaylen Brown was one of the highlights of the ESPY Awards this season. However, what ended up turning heads and dominating the news was his date for the night. The Boston Celtics star showed up with WNBA player Kysre Gondrezick, but Joe Budden thinks Brown could have done better.
According to the American media personality, Brown could have set the internet on fire with a different date than Gondrezick. Budden even suggested that Jaylen Brown could have chosen Bernice Burgos to stand next to him as his date for the event.
"Respect to this lady, you know what would have happened had he walked in with Bernice [Burgos] ... If you don't think Bernice next to him would shut down the ESPY red carpet then I forfeit."
Budden also commented that while Gondrezick tried posing for the camera, she wasn't entirely comfortable. He even said that he once caught her standing straight when the camera wasn't focused on her.
The relationship between Bernice Burgos and Jaylen Brown made rounds on the internet earlier this year in May. They were rumored to be dating since September 2022 when they were spotted together in New York. They were again seen together in 2023, in February. However, since then, their dating rumor has died down.
As for Brown, he seems to have confirmed his choice by bringing Gondrezick to the ESPY as his date.

Jaylen Brown was one of the biggest snubs after the Olympic roster for Team USA was announced. Despite winning the NBA title, Brown wasn’t called to duty in Paris.
However, when it came to sharing his opinion on the matter, Brown reserved it for later and wanted to focus on his date, Kysre Gondrezick.
“I really got no comment, you know what I mean. I got my beautiful date right here.”

When Kawhi Leonard's name was dropped from the 12-man Team USA roster, his name still wasn't called; Derrick White, Brown’s teammate in Boston, was.
Brown and Gondrezick were seen together previously during the celebration parade of the Celtics.
Gondrezick was previously in a relationship with former Houston Rockets star Kevin Porter Jr. The couple separated after Gondrezick alleged Porter for domestic violence.
