The Boston Celtics are something of an anomaly in the NBA in that the team has not one or two but three vice presidents in the National Basketball Players’ Association, the league’s union — and all three of them are also activists for causes beyond the sport of basketball as well.
Recently, while the Celtics were in the US capital of Washington DC to play the Washington Wizards, that trio — Jaylen Brown, Malcolm Brogdon and Grant Williams — had an opportunity to go to the White House to talk to the Department of Justice about criminal justice reform on Monday.
To explain what it was they said at that meeting as well as how he started getting involved with Brogdon about social issues off of the court a year after protesting together in Atlanta, Georgia after the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis-area police, Brown fielded a number of questions this Tuesday after practice.
To hear what the Cal alum had to say about the threesome’s meeting with the DOJ at the White House, check out the clip embedded above.
