Celtics star Jaylen Brown rips Stephen A. Smith as feud escalates
In expletive-filled tirade on Twitch, Celtics All-Star Jaylen Brown blasts Stephen A. Smith for using ESPN's platform for "clickbait" journalism.
The ongoing feud between Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown and ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith seems to have taken on a life of its own. Brown fired the latest shots on his Twitch stream Sunday night with an expletive-laced tirade that took issue with Smith's May 7 comments on ESPN's "First Take" in which he said Brown needed to "be quiet.
" “My offer still stands," Brown responded on May 17 after playing the "First Take" clip (Warning: NSFW language). "You want me to be quiet and stop streaming? Well, I want you to be quiet and get off these networks.
Because you’re not using your platform to do real journalism. You’re using your platform to use clickbait. ” Brown was also upset with Smith's insinuation that Celtics teammate Jayson Tatum didn't want to appear on Brown's Twitch stream because he was upset by things Brown said in the wake of Boston's playoff loss to the Philadelphia 76ers.
“What type of journalism is this? Jayson Tatum hasn’t been on my stream, and this is what we’re talking about on First Take? " Brown questioned.
