NBA Finals MVP Jaylen Brown drops Ice Spice comment handing her an unwanted title
In an episode of "Goat Talk" by Complex, alongside rapper A$AP Ferg, Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown picked a song by Grammy-nominated rapper Ice Spice as the worst song of all time. While Brown hesitated to reveal his answer at first, the reigning NBA Finals MVP cited Ice Spice's "Think U the S**t (Fart)" for the title when Ferg nudged him.
"First thing that came to mind was the Ice Spice joint. I'm not even a fart, you thought I was the s**t. I'm not even the s**t," Brown said.
Brown's answer elicited banter from Ferg.
"Oh why you not jacking that? It don't sound good coming from a woman you feel like?" Ferg said. "Because women is people too. They can fart and s**t."
Jaylen dismissed the banter claims, prompting Ferg to burst into laughter.

Jaylen Brown refuses to name worst NBA player of all time
Later in the same episode of "Goat Talk" by Complex, the final question for Jaylen Brown was to name his pick for the worst NBA player of all time. However, citing his role as a vice president of the National Basketball Players Association, Brown refused to answer the question, saying that he would not speak negatively about any NBA player.
"As a Players Association representative, it is my job to make sure that all of our players feel empowered, they got the next phase in life ..." Brown said. "So you'll never see me speak negatively or on purpose or intentionally, especially in front of the camera about another player."
