Well this was prophetic! Well done Ruey. Jaylen swung Game 1 when it mattered the most.

Go Bears!

Also worth noting that Jaylen Brown was re-elected Vice President of the Players' Association earlier this year. He's really been everything we could want as a Cal alumnus.

Jaylen Brown is such a Bear. He embraces the academics and social activism of Berkeley, and I don't doubt will return again and again for studies and connection to the area. Wishing him all the best.

Nice breakdown! This is definitely a big Finals storyline.

As a Laker fan I don't want the Celtics to get another championship but I am a big fan of Jaylen. I do hope he breaks through into superstardom. He's so intelligent that it seems like he's capable of seeing the game (and assessing his game) on another level.

Very good and accurate review.

As a casual observer of Brown as a pro compared to a much more complete review of his one year at Cal, I would say his greatest improvement as a pro has been his ability to hit the outside shot. I also don't recall Brown driving to the basket as much as he does now compared to when he was a Bear. But all aspects of Brown's game has steading improved as a pro.
