After being snubbed for Team USA's Paris Olympics squad in favor of Derrick White, Jaylen Brown expressed his frustration on social media, hinting that Nike played a role in his exclusion. Stephen A. Smith fired back at Brown, questioning how a top-tier player like Brown could be left off the team, insinuating a bias against him. This latest development adds to a previous feud between Brown and Smith, with the ESPN personality claiming Brown is not well-liked in the NBA due to his attitude. Brown responded defiantly, indicating he is not intimidated. The decision to choose White over Brown for Team USA remains puzzling, despite Brown's impressive skills and past experience with the team. Ultimately, Team USA seems to be prioritizing defensive prowess and role players like White over high-profile offensive talents like Brown.
