Did Nike Have a Hand in Preventing Jaylen Brown From Team USA? | THE ODD COUPLE 

Having three Celtics on the team and none of them is Jaylen is insane.

Not selected in the initial 12 was crazy enough. Not replacing Leonard is a travesty!

They didn't pick Jaylen Brown cause he's socially & politically conscious.

They still hate Jaylen because he was the only one that stood with Kyrie 💯💯💯

You better believe it this is political

Jaylen Brown is an activist. When you stand for something and they can't control you, they don't like that.

Jaylen Brown supported Kyrie Irving & he supports Ice Cube & the big 3 ( played in the big 3 Allstate game )

Having 3 Celtics on the team and no Jalen is crazy and I hate the Celtics

Jaylen ain’t a sellout! That’s right!

This decision is gross... nasty work organization!! Stay foucused JB💪🏾

Jalen and Kyrie are all about player empowerment and anti-establishment so it’s no surprise when they get snubbed at this point tbh

So basically Nike said shut up and dribble

Grant Hill had a 19 year NBA career and is in danger of ruining it in 1 year with the USA team. Rumour has it Brown is a thinker and doesn't just jump at NBA sponsors like the Association wants/prefers. By not having Jalen Brown on this team it makes those Jalen Rose comments about Duke and Duke Black ball players seem relevant and true.

They picked White BECAUSE he is Jaylen's teammate! That was done specifically and especially to spite Jaylen.

This is exactly why there should be a try out. Like it used to be

Jaylen also wears custom Nikes with no Nike swoosh. Nike don’t like it and that shouldn’t matter! This proves Nike running this team and they’re crying about Jaylen not liking them

Not picking the finals MVP from jump is crazy 2 me 🤦

How is the final mvp for the NBA not in the team

Compromised chris 😴😴😴

Winning Conference Mvp and Finals Mvp and still snubbed, this is definitely political

No brown no kyrie on the team lmao smh

THEY COULD OF GOTTEN JAYLEN BROWN, DONOVAN MITCHELL, KYRIE IRVING, JIMMY BUTLER OR DEAARON FOX

Nike should not be picking team USA. Politics is ruining sports.

Kawhi-Bot took his team USA pictures then went to sleep mode.

brown clearly pissed someone off, no one should bewildered by this decision.

There are three reasons Jaylen Brown is not on the Olympic team. The first is Jaylen is socially & politically conscious and they are scared he may say something along those lines during the Olympic games. Secondly Jaylen backed Kyrie when Nike ditched him due to the movie controversy. Thirdly Jaylen played in the Big 3 when the NBA didn't want their players playing in the league plus the NBA is trying to blackball the Big 3 league. Jaylen has been snubbed three times this year, No all NBA team selection, no all NBA defensive team selection and no USA Olympic team selection. This is absolutely disrespectful hands down.

It’s blatant disrespect at this point 😅

Jalen is not a puppet, he will speak his mind and the NBA & Team USA don’t like that nor want to deal with a educated independent thinking black man 💯

Nike basically spit in his face by picking all of his teammates except for him. They purposely did this. This is no coincidence.

Snubbing JB is clearly bc he speaks for the black community and stands strong proudly, not meekly, in the face of opposition and societal injustice!! This is a scandalous and disgusting! 🤮 Hold ya head JB! The community got your back!! ✊🏿✊🏿

They keep treating Brown like he's not a very good player.. Tatum is not THAT GOOD>.. TO ME... From Your Boy Poorhouzzzzzzz

I hope not. JB is well worthy. ☘️

You all missed the most obvious reason why JB was left off. They want Jayson Tatum to be a superstar so bad and dont want people yo keep seeing that Brown is actually the best Celtic.

Robb on the money: "Where people involved...Politics!"

NBA BLACKBALLING him….this is 😔 sad

The intelligent black man is a threat

Leaving Kyrie off was bad enough

One of the very few times I agree with Rob. As usual Chris sticking to the national maritime

Remember when Stephen A said people in the league believe JB is not marketable and is overlooked and players crucified him for not saying who his sources were....Look now!

So the guy who just won finals mvp is being told that he’s the 4th best player on his team????

Chris brossard is a company man who never speaks on the politics of the NBA smh

Tiny hats had their hand in this, just like they did with Kyrie and Kanye.

If Brown won in the Olympics, he would had done the black fist

For supporting Palestinian rights, Jaylen Brown's punishment is not to be on the Olympic team..

I made some “F u Nike” Kobe’s for JB for the all star game. I guarantee that’s why he ain’t there. They don’t want him talking, they didn’t like seeing that on that kinda stage, and they don’t like him 🤦🏾‍♂️

Chris has become the black Nick Wright when it comes to defending Lenarrcisict

They made a mistake not taking Bronny

Yeah if Derrick White was replacing Jrue Holiday, that would make sense...Kawhi's replacement should have been JB!

These scandals for both the men’s and women’s team for starkly different purposes is wild

This is discrimination because Jaylen Brown is Muslim, and intelligent. As well as being dark skinned black, and outspoken. It’s obvious.

Jayden Brown ain't on the team the same reason why Kyrie ain't on the team

Grant Hill on Jaylen Brown’s posts apparently suggesting Nike was behind his Olympic snub: “For a good portion of my career, I wore Fila. That was supposed to be a joke. We’re proud of our partners, obviously. … This is about putting together a team.”

Its about him supporting Palestine same thing with Kyrie.

Reports are that Kawai was heard exclaiming "ouchies!!" after every jump😂😂

Jb not playing is a disgrace to the United States.

Yo this was crazy…not only JB but also Kyrie!!!! I mean WTF-

now THIS is journalism

Eddie House was nasty coming off the bench.

What’s worse is they like Anthony Edward’s as a representative of the country. Man has 3 baby mamas under 30. I like Jaylen. Free thinker

This is like like Mario Chalmers making Team USA over Lebron and D. Wade

Sixers and Team USA should do the same with Embid, and Phoenix with KD and Booker.

Playing politics with this Team USA in the Olympics could really backfire. I see too much focus on Lebron and old players and JB and Kyrie should be on this team.

lol the league is scared of Jalen brown cause he’s a legit smart black man

The fact that Jaylen wasn't on the roster prior to this is disrespect I understand D White is a great role player but nah fk Nike

Jalen Brunson is injured what are they talking about?

Time to boycott Nike

What? Jaylen Brown deserved and earned the spot. Who made this decision, LeBron? LeBron making decisions in LA so he probably call this short too. Jaylen Brown has been so disrespected. CRAZY!

Jaylen is a great defender too. Primarily guarded Luka in the finals. This is slap in the face to jaylen who is probably getting punished for his social justice views.

I got a better idea. Celtics vs the World.

I've been an avid NBA fan for 50 years but this year I didn't even watch one NBA game because it just not about basketball anymore. When a rabid ilife long fan like me doesn't even watch one playoff game...that says a lot about where the NBA is headed..

JB and Kyrie are both too Problack for the team, they are too intelligent, loud and proud. They stand for issues and they don't like that.

I think ya'll pondering the wrong conspiracy. Seems to me like Kawhi being put on the USA team was a front from jump, so that both parties can say he was officially on an olympic squad.

People that work for NAMBLA have more dignity than all of these Lebron ballwashers...

Kyrie is the best guard in NBA by miles and not on this team we up north 💯%

Bronny got snubbed by team USA

Jaylen Brown 🤎 matches Kawaii's skillset ALOT more-so than White's 🤍 right ???? .....tf ??????

So disrespectful to have FMVP be a back up selection and JB did the right thing by saying thanx but no thanx. They rather beg foreigners on usab out of fear of FIBA bigs. What a shame

Why do you think that a player so obviously better than KD or LeBron is never mentioned as the best of the past 10 years? Because he is with Under Armour and Nike is the one in bed with Disney and NBA

This is purely a biased political decision, not only for Jaylen's comments against Nike. But also his recent declaration of his Muslim faith and his outspoken defense of the people of Palestine, it is for all of those reasons that he was denied his place on the US Olympic team

White was taken because he has better defense. The team doesn’t need more offense.

They could’ve replaced Kawhi with Kyrie also. This is insane

What do they have against Brown? So many players are better than White. How is Holiday on the team?

"Ohh...oh!" Lol😂😂😂

“They pimp slap him” lmfao 😂 Rob is sooo funny 😂

love the show where can I get more clips from this show? Is there any Asian channels uploading them

That is wrong

They definitely snubbed the "NBA Finals MVP"

Jrue definitely deserves it over any other Celtics player. Dude is a 2x champ first year with Bucks and first year with Celtics. Jrue is also the best defender at the guard position in the nba. Then it should’ve been brown then Tatum.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="250">4:10</a> "Might not be Derrick white...?" (Definsively) Sometimes I wonder if I watched a different 2024 NBA Finals than a lot of media personalities, because a lot of this past NBA finals best moments Included Jaylen brown, (Definsivesly) Wheather it was picking up Luka Full Court, which you don't see to often, to the powerful crowd popping blocks he was getting, on kyrie, Luka, etc. Especially when the Finals was actually up for grabs in the first 3 games... Not to mention Browns timely offensive dominance to flat out win game 3 with the shot over Hardaway, & all the posters he racked up to begin the Finals as well. FMVP honest should have been as close as it was despite Tatum having his best performance to seal the series(Still when the Finals was pretty much over) But I believe there's some serious collusion going on with the corporate entities to Keep a certified Top 5 player in Jaylen Brown from receiving the flowers he deserves at this point in time, especially with all the award snubs I felt he's received. Somethings been up... Plus Kawhi a 6'7" 2-way wing, Swap for Brown a 6'7" 2-way wing just makes too much sense I guess 😅

Worst thing since Isiah.

Jaylen Brown supports the Palestinian people. That's why he is not playing for team USA. It's not Nike

I wish they would stop saying he's the 2nd best player on the Celtics. He is their best player.

I think they did it bcuz he took the finals MVP from Tatum and they probably wanna highlight Tatum in these Olympics

If someone is conference and finals MVP, they're the best player on the team.

You telling me jalen can't do the dirty work? Ask Luka bruh

Something is wrong Jaylen is 3 times better than Derrick white and i don’t know who’s behind this ridiculous selection

I’m surprised Rob believes that. Good job

Jalen taking his 300 million dollar contract and help black kids in the inter city with recreational centers and they don't like that cause he's doing college scholarships too, to even the playing field

I haven't bought a pair of Nike sneakers since they did Kyrie dirty, and i won't ever support Nike ever again.

White should turn down the offer to play. In respect for Brown.
