Jaylen Brown Was In An MIT Robotics Session When He Secured The Largest Contra
ct
 In NBA History

NBA player Jaylen Brown was once labeled “too smart” to join the very league
 h
e would go on to earn a historic contract with.
杰倫在進入這個後來讓他拿到歷史等級約的聯盟前，曾經被聯盟內的人標籤為「過度聰明
」
而對他未來發展有所疑慮。

Athlon Sports reports Brown graduated Wheeler High School in Marietta, GA, at
th
e top of his class. He accomplished this while excelling on the basketball cou
rt
. He was a first team All-American and top-five national high school prospect,
 h
is NBA bio reads.
在杰倫高中時期，他不僅是全美前五高中生，就連課業上也是班級頂尖的學生。

Between 2015 and 2016, Brown continued his studies at the University of Califo
rn
ia, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), while playing for its basketball team. However, he
 w
as not satisfied with the freshman courses they offered him, which were not ch
al
lenging enough, The New York Times reports. He swapped out some of his classes
 t
o take on African American Studies, an upper-division class from the Global Po
ve
rty and Practice minors program, and a graduate course titled “Theoretical Fo
un
dations for the Cultural Studies of Sport and Education,” which he had learne
d
about through Hashim Ali, co-founder of the Oakland Soldiers AAU squad, and NB
A
Hall of Famer Isiah Thomas.
大學杰倫選擇了學術上的名校UC Berkeley。然而，他對學校提供的大一課程不感到滿足
，
覺得那些課程對他來說已不具挑戰。他將部分課程換成非裔美人研究，及「體制化的體育
與
教育」、「蓄意的不平等」、「體育在社會中扮演的角色」等研究所的課程。而他跟NBA
名
宿微笑刺客就是在那時成為亦師亦友的忘年之交。

“I said, ‘Jaylen, you’re a freshman,’” Derek Van Rheenen, the class’ pro
fe
ssor, said per The New York Times. “No freshman in the history of this course
 h
as ever taken this course. It’s not meant for a freshman.”
當年的教授跟杰倫說「杰倫，你只是一個大一的新鮮人。」「歷史上從未有大一生選修這
門
課程，這不是給大一生程度上的。」

Brown’s intelligence was intimidating when he was being considered by NBA tea
ms
 following his first year at the university. According to Andscape, an NBA ass
is
tant general manager confirmed this was a concern for general managers and coa
ch
es in the league.
因為JB太聰明了，甚至某些球團GM跟教練認為選他會是一個有風險問題的選擇。

“He is an extremely intelligent kid,” the assistant general manager said, pe
r
Andscape. “He took a graduate school class at Cal in his freshman year. He is
 a
 person who is inquisitive about everything. Because he is so smart, it might
be
 intimidating to some teams. He wants to know why you are doing something inst
ea
d of just doing it. I don’t think it’s bad, but it’s a form of questioning
au
thority. It’s not malicious. He just wants to know what is going on. Old-scho
ol
 coaches don’t want guys that question stuff.”
一個助理GM說「他太聰明了，在大一就跑去選修研究所的課程。」他是那種對任何事情都
會
有批評質疑精神。這對聯盟某些球隊來說會感受威脅。他會想知道為何要這麼做，而不是
乖
乖照辦。我不認為這樣不好，但這對某些老派教練來說這是一種挑戰權威的行為，他們不
會
希望球員這樣。

Brown would go on to enter into the draft and made an unconventional decision
to
 do so without an agent, although he would hire one later. Instead, he was sur
ro
unded by advisers, which included Thomas and former NBA All-Star and former UC
 B
erkeley student Shareef Abdur-Rahim.
杰倫剛進聯盟時甚至不請經紀人，只聽取身邊例如微笑刺客及同是UC Berkeley的學生Sha
re
ef Abdur-Rahim的意見，自己去學習如何跟球團協商。

Brown was drafted to the Boston Celtics in 2016 as a third overall draft pick,
 E
SPN notes. He was signed to a $21.4 million rookie contract, per Spotrac.
JB在2016被青賽用探花籤選中。簽下總值21.4M的菜鳥合約。

As AFROTECH™  previously reported, Brown has proven to be an asset to the team
,
and this was reflected in his second contract, which was an extension that wen
t
into effect in 2020, valued at $106.3 million, per Spotrac.
之後證明自己是球隊重要的資產，2020年時球團與其續約總值106.3M的合約。

During Brown’s 2022-23 season, he was averaging 26.6 points, 6.9 rebounds, an
d
3.5 assists and made the All-NBA 2nd Team in 2023
在22-23賽季，杰倫繳出26.6分/6.9板/3.5助的成績，這讓他入選了年度第二隊。

He would then make history signing the highest contract in NBA history with a
su
permax extension that would pay him up to $304 million starting with the 2024
se
ason.
這讓他之後簽下當下歷史等級的304M巨約，合約從24-25賽季開跑。

“He’s a big part of us. We believe in him, and I’m thankful for him,” Bask
et
ball Operations President Brad Stevens, said at the time of the signing, accor
di
ng to the Associated Press. “I’m really thankful that when those guys have s
uc
cess, they come back to work. And when they get beat, they own it, and they co
me
 back to work. And so I know that’s what they’re about. And that’s hard to
fi
nd.”
Brad Stevens說「他對我們來說很重要，我們相信他，且對他由衷感謝。」BS在記者會中
說
到，JB就是那種取得成功後，依然會繼續努力，當被擊倒時，他依然能從中學到什麼並且
繼
續努力。這種特質造就了他們，而這類人也是相當難找到的。

What’s more, when Brown learned of the contract news he had been in a robotic
 s
ession at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with high school stu
de
nts, according to the Boston Globe.
更誇張的是，在他的大約新聞當下，他正跟著一群學生在MIT的機器人學課程。

“I was learning,” he mentioned to the outlet during a press conference. “I
wa
s a part of the curriculum. We were doing some teaching, doing some active eng
ag
ing, some workshops. So I was able to put my phone down and just get right int
o
class with the Bridge students.”
杰倫表示，當時他正在學習，我是那課程中的一員，教導他基金會幫助的Bridge Program
中
的學生。

Brown also broke down the details of the contract in front of over 100 student
s
who are a part of the Bridge Program, created by his 7uice Foundation to offer
 o
pportunities and learning pathways for Black and Brown communities.
裡面有超過100名他基金會幫助的學生，提供這些人機會去學習。

“I think education is one of the most powerful devices that we have, and it’
s
one of the ways that you know our social mobility is being controlled at a ver
y
early age,” Brown said during an interview with CBS Mornings around the same
ti
me. “So, being able to have my students there who are participating in my MIT
 p
rograms to get to learn directly from MIT professors, MIT scientists, NASA ast
ro
nauts, you get to directly benefit from you know those stories and those life
le
ssons. So, my goal is to build the next leaders and next generational leaders
of
 the world, and I feel like with the Bridge Program that’s what I’m doing.”
杰倫表示他始終相信教育是最有力的方式，且讓你知道這個社會在你年紀還很小時就已經
開
始控制著。所以我讓這些學生能直接接受MIT教授的指導，參與MIT的研究計畫，甚至是NA
SA
的太空相關課程。我的目標是想培育下一個領袖，下一個世代全球的領袖，這就是我的Br
id
ge Program想做的事。

短評或心得：
大一去修研究所的課程
我大一時只想著有哪門通識課程比較涼…
