I don’t care what the team needs give me JB over white any day. Disrespectful AF. Brown should have been on the team over Kawai in the first place. SMH. JB only response now is go back to back on them.

J.B. spoke up like a man and defended Kyrie when Kyrie had his situation! He criticized Nike for dropping Kyrie and criticized the CEO. Nike had to have their get back as an NBA partner!! Picking D.White over J.B. for the Olympic team is ridiculous! Shows how petty the NBA and Nike can be!

Replaced a forward with a guard.. so half the team are guards now when they only have two spots on the court? Grant Hills reasoning was rubbish. Jaylen Brown can do whatever Derrick White can plus more and will accept his role. Disrespect for sure..

Brown has a championship ring in the NBA. Enough said.

Tbh Brown should've been over Kawhi in the first place...

"He's not Ken Griffey Jr". Preach on

How they choose a role player over the dude that won FINALS MVP?! That’s actually crazy.

Suggesting Brown may not accept the role he's given is crazy

Grant Hill trying to make the Celtics locker room awkward next season 😂

There are at least 5 guys on that team that shouldn’t be over JB.

Naw JB should definitely be on the USA team forsure!

Team USA already have Holiday, Haliburton, Curry, LBJ as point guards. Brown is perfect replacement for Kawhi, Terminator 2.0.

The only reason Derrick White make sense is if Team USA just wanted to get a player that they wouldn't have pressure to actually have to play. I honestly don't see Derrick White playing much at all, but if Jaylen Brown was in there would be pressure to play him, and with the team they have now they have sooooo much talent that they don't need another player to have to try to find minutes for

We all know why brown isn’t on the team it’s because what he said about Nike it’s that’s simple lol

As a Canadian, give Brown the Canadian citizenship and bring him on board 😂

Something definitely fishy about the FMVP not making the team. JB must know *something* calling out Nike like that

Whatever, Grant Hill 🙄

They should call Brown instead of White.

browns disrespect has to be studied, bro is a star

It’s absolutely disrespectful that the best player on the Celtics wouldn’t be on the roster

Its a bit crazy that Tatum (worst FG% in NBA finals history) is on the team, where Brown (the last finals MVP) is not on the team

Brown is the REAL Face of the Celtics JB for ECF/Finals MVP

JB was snubbed

He got snubbed, the finals MVP.

Derrick white is not a better player, nor defender than JB. Grant Hill is plainly lying about building a team . Grant Hill has issues…

Never realized Embiid was such a dirty player. Just smacking guys in the face constantly.

As a diehard Celtic , I don’t need my whole roster on team USA 💀. It’s like a set up

Kept bronny getting his ankles broken out of the highlights I see 😂

The funny thing about trying to “build a team” is that Holiday and White are similar players lol.

I'm not even a celtics fan but JB got snubbed bigtime! He's been underrated for too long!!

To every JB fan: after he got his contract they asked him what did he plan to do with his wealth. "Bring back Black Wallstreet" without saying too much just look up black Wallstreet AND what happened to it

When a shoe brand gets to decide who is qualified to represent our men's national team, you know this system is flawed

Stop saying he just the “55th pick of the draft” hes the 55th best nba prospect in the world and he not playing like it he belongs in the NBA. SIMPLE !

8:10 "We're evaluating him like he's a lottery pick." Because your network is also giving him the attention of a lottery pick.

From the fifty fifth street cripmac select Cronny James jr

If Obama was at this game who’s running the USA???

Bro 😎 put Bronny inna spin cycle like laundry 🧺

There is no VERDICT on Bronny the kid isn't current sports news and ESPN is exposing themselves speaking on him this month.

Derrick White over Jaylen Brown 🤔 I don't know man

Anyone familiar with the Olympics can tell me who can actually challenge USA or beat them? Because I’m not about to watch team USA blow teams out by 20 or 30 every game that’s out…

If you lose Kawhi why not get another Kawhi? This on top of him being ignored for the 2K cover is disrespectful because when exactly did Tatum develop this larger personality to be marketable?

Brown absolutely being shutout by nike. Why isn’t JJ coaching summer league? He has never coached, don’t you think he needs reps?

Jalen Brown has his own mind. He does his own thing. He doesn't need Nike or any sneaker deals. He's a self define man

It makes no logical sense to put Derrick White who isn't an all-star, not a finals MVP, not a team leader, not a future hall of famer on Team USA. Jaylen Brown got snubbed 1000% It's not even debatable and I don't believe the decision was up to Grant Hill.

Grant Hill is awesome. If he did not ask Brown if he would be able to play 10 minutes per game and primarily focus on defending, He was wrong in his approach. Congrats Derrick White! You are an awesome basketball player.

Bronny looks like his dad with 3 points 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Grant hill always been a funny dude to me…not in a good way. He said Jerry west was 6’7 on live TV. So that tells you about his basketball vault of knowledge. And that’s the guy they have making decisions.

How is white better than JB for ANY reason. Completely ridiculous

At this point Jaylen Brown is the most slept on player in the league! Him and Tatum should’ve easily been a lock to be on the team. I’m not even a fan of him but the disrespect at this point is glaringly obvious.

Team USA should’ve brought Bronny James to the team. Guaranteed gold

NBA finals mvp.. Jaylen Brown.. left off team USA basketball.. please make sense of that nonsense. Smmfh

Saying Jaylen Brown doesn't sacrifice and play his role is ludicrous. He's the most selfless super star in the league. He's played second fiddle to Tatum his entire career when everyone knows he's the better player. This year he finally got the hardware to show for it winning ECF and Finals MVP when he finally just cut his losses and took over because Tatum was choking. He's lost finals and playoff series over "playing his role" instead of taking over the team to avoid ruffling feathers. The reason Brown isn't going is because he's outspoken and intelligent from a social justice/political standpoint. Team USA is probably far more worried what he might say about the country with a mic in his face than how he fits in on the court. Like cmon now. We know he's a perfect fit for the team and deserves to be there. Picking three of his teammates over him when he proved he's the best player on his team this year is wild.

Jaylen put Grant Hill on the hot seat next year, go for league MVP. You're talented enough to go for it.

In Derrick Rose book "Ill show you." he mentioned how much authority Nike had when it came to team USA and the politics around it.

They had to massage the truth about Jaylen Brown not being selected. JB represents himself may be considered an outsider in the basketball power-broker community. I think he should have been invited over Kawhi and Booker, at the very least, but it is likely no one lobbied for him. Derrick White, I would think, was already selected as the back-up on the initial shortlist prior to the announcement of the final roster, because with Kawhi, who knows what his health condition would be. If we were talking about basketball fit, Brown would fit in well because he already has two teammates on the team and he has experience working with the coaches since he was on the 2019 FIBA World Cup roster. The simplest explanation is probably the best one - the decision-makers didn't want him there. Whether it's political or how Brown conducted himself in 2019 is anyone's guess. The optics of White backing out would be horrendous, even if he believes Brown deserves it more. I don't think the US would lose, but if they did, this PR flap would be hard to live down.

Seth Greenberg keeping it 100! That is a fair judgement, the hate and high expectations are unrealistic. Anyone would love their Kid to be in Bronny's position, heck some do it in their average daily jobs! Let the kid live and play the game he loves fam please

Such a hard job to put a Olympic squad lmao

That laugh by Grant Hill tells you the next words out of his mouth are straight BS.

Stop saying “He’s the 55th pick, so my expectations are low” when he got 4 YEARS GUARANTEED. Compare his performance against any rookie with that same contract….

“Alondis Williams though, he was the star.” Shows only Bronny’s stat line 😂

Well Grant, you made a mistake putting together this part of the team! Replacing a forward with a guard?! Dumb. Banchero, Ingram, Brown, Butler, or insert another WING player

Tatum ideally should boycott the Olympics. Not practical i know but u gotta stick up for the guy who led your team. Its clearly political. No reason why a corporation should dictate the team this much. Yes edwards is there but it would have been public outcry if they didnt pick him... JB Is a BETTER white... in all ways..

Is anyone else getting sick of this notion across all medias that the public can be blatantly lied to and are just expected to follow along once shamed enough?

Why does ESPN have to lie for Bronny? His defense has been bad and the man Bronny was guarding was the high scorer of the game. ESPN shows Bronny getting a steal and then claims he plays good defense and that’s just lying to the audience

Jaylen isn't the type to cow tail to NIKE. Or for that matter cow tail to anyone. Sure, he wants recognition for his accomplishments. Who doesn't? And he deserved to be on that team. IMO it was Brown whose determination and follow-through that led the Celts to this championship. He REFUSED to lose and that became contagious through the team. Screw NIKE and their agenda.

I've been hearing weeks ago that White would be Leonards replacement if hurt so why is this a thing

They should of had Kyrie and Jalen in this team.

Jaylen Brown > Luka (when it counts most only obv.)

JB is spot on, this is NIKE's doing, there's no other reason for picking White over him.

Even if I totally understand JB frustration, Team USA is not an All-Star Team. It is not about the 15 or whatever best player of the US. It’s about constructing a coherent team otherwise they’ll get beat up.

300 million dollar man, both Finals MVP’s but gets snubbed again. lol we all know why, it starts with 4 LETTERS

There's no logical reason as to why Jaylen isn't on this team. I don't know if Nike is to blame, but it doesn't make sense.

So he literally gave every reason as to why JB was snubbed just to say he wasnt!?. Make it make sense please!!! I think these folks at espn compete on who can sound dumber.

The finals MVP can’t fit into the national team? BS

Jaylen Brown's support for Palestinian rights is not going to be tolerated in a free America....His punishment is to not be a member of the USA men's basketball Olympic team..

Seth is my new favorite "he's the 55th pick" thank you! You might not be back on ESPN though lol.

Jaylen brown got the PITY playoff Eastern conference mvp and the PITY finals mvp😂 Tatum is the celtics ACTUAL BEST PLAYER.

Boston was the favorite to win the championship the last three years. They won once. Big deal. Team USA didn't need another ball hog. They wanted a role player who would fit in. Not Brown.

Grant you are wrong on this one good brother. He is a healthy version of Leonard and has proven himself to be a team player. Adding Derick White over him is a smack in the face…..there is no way around this…..

Bronny James can give USA a nice little 4 points.. just saying

Man if they focus on Bronny's defense and turn him into a Tony Allen, Spurs Kawhi, with defense as his foundation, his offense will naturally turn up and he could be a special player in the nba.

"They not like us" in the background 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I didn’t like Grant Hills response to this at all. You want to build a team that gives you the best chance to win….. but you DONT get the equivalent to Kawhi and who was also the finals MVP. That was a sorry as answer Grant Hill. Like Jaylen Brown sneaker said “Just do better”.

Jaylen Brown is my GOAT

KD is like Mr. Glass. I bet the movie was loosely about him 😂

Old guy said he dont know if he was snub. Politics at its finest

If im JB I go play for another country to show Grant Hill he fukd up 😂

Jaylen like Caitlin not ready for the Olympics

Jaulen Brown should have been on the team already. #7,8,9 on that original roster

Am I the only one love seeing Lebron and Steph together

The Celtics need to gaslight JB and let him take his frustration out on the league next season

I do not like the celtics, but Brown just won a chip and also got finals MVP....and they took 3 people from his team...he got snubbed crazy

ESPN is really embarrassing! Dude said most of Bronny Highlights came on defense. Lmao! Dude was getting cooked all night.

The fact that jrue & Jason on the team 🧐🧐 and you pick Derrick white 🧐🧐🧐 instead of jaylen 🧐🧐🧐 is crazy 🧐🧐🧐

Rumors has; bronny is still camping in the corner 3 as we speak! #industryPlant

They be chatting like JB wouldn’t be willing to play the exact role Derrick white plays and you can have someone who can be an extra offensive boost at any point

In the case of James. If you want people to stop comparing him to a lottery pick, maybe you shouldnt be talking about him every day like he is one.

i actually like tatum quite a bit, but I'm not sure ANYONE outside of new england likes jaylen brown imo.

Unless Brown has beef with someone on the team I dont see how Derrick White is a better fit than JB lol Grant Hill responds is definitely protecting somone. Otherwise it makes no sense

Scoring 3 points in a summer league game and still being the most talked about is INSANE
