After Kawhi Leonard's injury, Derrick White was chosen to replace him on the Team USA basketball team for the Paris Olympics, prompting an interesting response from Jaylen Brown. Brown subtly reacted by posting three emojis with a monocle over the eye, sparking speculation about his feelings regarding the decision. Both Brown and White were initially in the running for the team, with Brown ultimately being passed over in favor of Leonard. Despite this, White joins Jayson Tatum and Jrue Holiday as the third member of the Boston Celtics selected for Team USA. Brown recently had an impressive postseason, earning MVP titles and leading the Celtics to victory. While many believed Brown was the obvious choice, White's defensive skills and facilitation abilities make him a valuable addition to the team alongside star players like LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Joel Embiid.
