"Marvel should hire him as the next Black Panther": Jaylen Brown leaves NBA fans mesmerized with unique underwater training
The NBA offseason is in full swing for Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics, as the reigning Finals MVP and champions prepare for next season.
Jaylen Brown is going all-out in his training this offseason after solidifying himself as one of the best players in the NBA over the last few seasons. He shared on his Instagram some snaps from an underwater training session, which got fans hyped for him.
"The work ethic is on another planet...Man proved everyone wrong and won finals MVP then went back in business real quick," one fan commented.
"Hey Nike and USMBT, this is what u did to my boy jaylen. Watch the F out! #defendthecrown☘️," another fan added.
"Champ wants to be champ again! 🏆," a third fan commented.
Other fans indicated that Brown could play a superhero for Marvel Studios.
"I think bro could play black panther," a fan stated.
"Marvel should hire him as the next Black Panther," another fan commented.
Per his post, Brown was training in Bahrain, a small island country located in the Persian Gulf in West Asia.
The three-time NBA All-Star showed his value to the Celtics organization with sensational performances in the playoffs, also winning the Larry Bird Eastern Conference Finals MVP this past season.
In 2023-24, Brown averaged 23.0 points, 3.6 assists, and 5.5 rebounds per game, shooting a career-high 50 percent from the field and a solid 35 percent from beyond the arc.
Jaylen Brown will be considered for 2028 Olympics after taking issue with being left off the 2024 Team USA roster
Following the departure of Kawhi Leonard from Team USA, fans expected Jaylen Brown to step in as Leonard's replacement, given his similar skillset as one of the top two-way players in today's NBA.
However, he was again left off the team and took to social media to share his grievances.
Team USA Basketball managing director Grant Hill responded to Brown's posts on the issue, stating, "Whatever theories that might be out there, they're just that... It's tough to have conversations, tell people that they're not on the team."
Brown responded to Hill's comments on social media.
"Grant Hill calling me a conspiracy theorist is disappointing. I've been a VP [of the NBPA] since I was 21 years old. I have a great understanding," Brown stated on X.
Brown will be up for consideration for Team USA in 2028, with players like LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Stephen Curry all questionable to return given their respective ages.
