Rich Paul on Jaylen Brown’s comments

In an interview on The Pat McAfee Show, Rich Paul discussed the situation involving Jaylen Brown and Bronny James. “I saw some stuff that came out about Jaylen Brown. You can’t take everyone’s opinion and turn it against them or think they’re a bad person,” Paul said.

“They have the right to their opinions. At least Jaylen is actually in the league; he’s an expert with expertise. So if he has an opinion, he’s entitled to it,” Paul continued.

Paul also emphasized his understanding of Brown’s character. “I know Jaylen Brown and I know he doesn’t mean any malice. He was just having a conversation. It’s just the world we live in today; why would he think someone’s videoing him?”

Finally, Paul spoke about how LeBron James’ son should handle the situation. “Bronny is going to keep his head down, keep working, and use things like this as fuel. He needs to stay passionate about the game of basketball because that’s what really matters.”
