Boston Celtics All-Star Jaylen Brown agreed to a record five-year, $304 million supermax extension, the richest deal in NBA history. Brown spoke to reporters on Wednesday and expressed his goal to “attack the wealth disparity” in Boston with his record contract. I want to attack the wealth disparity here,” Brown said when asked what he plans to do with his “generational wealth.”“I think there’s analytics that support that stimulating the wealth gap could actually be something that could be betterment for the entire economy,” he said. “With the biggest financial deal in NBA history, it makes sense to talk about, one, your investment in community, but two also, the wealth disparity here that nobody wants to talk about. Brown and Jayson Tatum led the Celtics to the NBA Finals in 2022, losing to the Golden State Warriors in six games.
