Jaylen Brown is the shooting guard for the Boston Celtics. Since he was drafted the third overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, Brown has blossomed into an All-NBA-caliber player. Brown is a two-time All-Star and was named to the All-NBA second team last season after posting career highs in points, rebounds, assists and field goal percentage. In the offseason, Brown signed the richest contract in NBA history, staying with the Celtics on a five-year, $304 million extension. During his contract signing press conference, Brown said, “I want to launch a project to bring Black Wall Street here in Boston. I want to attack the wealth disparity here. I think there’s analytics that support that stimulating the wealth gap could actually be something that could be better…for the entire economy.”
