Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown was enjoying his off-season trip to China and jokingly suggested he only needed a US$400 million contract to leave the NBA and play in the Chinese league.The 2024 Finals MVP, who was recently mentioned in trade talks as the Celtics attempted to lure Giannis Antetokounmpo away from the Milwaukee Bucks, joked about playing in China in a video that went viral among basketball fans despite its obvious playful nature.The proposed trade did not materialise as the Greek international was sent to Florida in a trade with the Miami Heat on Monday.In the viral post, Brown was seen responding to questions as fans asked how dominant he would be in the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) league.“How many points would I average with the Shanghai Sharks? Listen, y’all cut the cheque. Shanghai, I’m outta here,” he said. “You write a cheque for US$100 million, Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Wing Chun, I’d play for all the teams at the same time.“I’d be the first player to play for every team at the same time. I’d be seen on Twitter.”
