Yes, you read that correctly.
Upon finalizing his new contract with the Boston Celtics—an eye-popping deal that cements his status among the NBA’s highest earners—Jaylen Brown allegedly shocked both franchises and the league office by requesting that his entire signing bonus be wired directly to the Golden State Warriors’ front office.
“This isn’t about money. It’s about legacy.” – Jaylen Brown
At a hastily arranged press conference outside TD Garden, Brown explained his rationale:
“I’ve already made more money than I can spend. This was about doing something bigger, something unexpected. The Warriors have done so much for the game of basketball—this is my way of giving back. Plus… they could really use a few more shooters.”
Reporters sat in stunned silence.
When asked why he would choose the Warriors, long considered a major Celtics rival and the team that denied Boston the 2022 NBA Championship, Brown offered a cryptic smile:
“Forgiveness is the real flex. Also, I lost a bet to Steph [Curry].”
NBA WORLD IN CHAOS
Social media exploded within minutes:
- Stephen A. Smith called the move “the most bizarre act of financial generosity I’ve ever seen in professional sports.”
- Shaquille O’Neal, clearly stunned, muttered only: “He did WHAT?”
- Warriors fans, meanwhile, launched a campaign to rename the Chase Center “The Brown House.”

Celtics Respond with Grace… and Confusion
Boston Celtics GM Brad Stevens responded calmly:
“Jaylen’s always marched to the beat of his own drum. We support him… I think.”
Meanwhile, teammate Jayson Tatum simply tweeted:
