One cryptic tweet on a quiet Sunday afternoon sent his followers into a frenzy. No names were dropped, but the tone? Scathing. It read like a public warning aimed at someone—or maybe everyone. While the exact target remains a mystery, one thing is crystal clear: Brown isn’t here to downplay his worth. Especially not after Stephen Curry’s recent hot take.

Appearing on Speedy Morman’s show, Curry didn’t hold back. The Warriors icon, who’s raked over millions in his career, claimed he still feels underpaid. Yes, underpaid. That statement didn’t just raise eyebrows—it reframed how we view today’s NBA contracts, even the record-breaking one Brown signed.

For Brown, who became the highest-paid player in league history with his supermax extension, Curry’s comments weren’t noise—they were fuel. Because to him, earning that kind of paycheck isn’t about stats or flash. It’s about impact. Legacy. And respect.

“I think because the way the CBA is structured right now, we can’t participate in equity,” the Dubs star with $410 million in career earnings so far said. “That’s a big deal because it is a partnership with ownership. It’s a partnership with the league. We’re on the short term of that revenue.”

He further explained, “Those numbers sound crazy, but what the league is doing from whatever area you want to compare it to … to now is probably 10x that. The idea that we can’t participate in equity while we are playing is a part of why I would say, we are underpaid, because you want to be able to participate in that. In that rise.”

The statements resonated with Jaylen Brown who’s currently staying put in Boston under a new ownership since the $7 billion sale. He reshared the post on his Stories with a direct response, “He’s right” with a lightbulb emoji. That emoji seems to indicate this is a lightbulb moment that’s worth considering.

Curry’s statements did create a sticker shock after all. Who would think the guy who’s about to make $60 million next season as a franchise player would feel undervalued? Hard not to see Curry’s point about the CBA though.

Jaylen Brown was briefly the NBA’s first $300 million player. Yet a few adjustments in his final contract details brought that figure to $286.2 million. Nor do the players who won the franchise’s 18th championship see any benefits out of the Celtics‘ record-breaking $7 billion sale unless there was an equity structure for players.

Brown made his feelings very clear on this. But there’s more that bothers the NBA champ than a few million dollars.

Jaylen Brown left fans scratching their heads

Between a trip to Spain, lectures at MIT, and other innovative ventures, something left Jaylen Brown deeply upset. On Sunday afternoon, he felt compelled to make a stern statement.

“When are we going to do something about what is happening right in front of us we all should be ashamed,” he wrote on X.com.

Unlike how he backed Steph Curry, it’s not clear who or what this statement was meant for. Fans even pestered ‘Grok’ for answers and got a few different theories, ranging from ongoing international conflicts to incidents closer to home.

Major developments have occurred in Boston itself. At least this past weekend, over 50 Irish immigrants were arrested and deported. There were protests against ICE around the city as well. Some even floated the theory that Brown is speaking about the Fenway Park concession workers strike that went down this weekend. A few actually believe he’s upset about a potential trade while multiple teams are seemingly interested in signing him or getting shortchanged in his contract.

This isn’t new behavior from Brown. And if history is proof, we’re never going to find out Jaylen Brown’s true thoughts on this anytime soon.
