As the owner of the richest contract in NBA history, Jaylen Brown has many reasons to be thankful heading into his eighth pro season, a fact the Celtics star made clear with a classy gesture this offseason.
Brown, who inked a record $304 million supermax extension in July, has already publicly expressed the ways he plans to give back with his massive deal. But, as it turns out, the two-time All-Star also expressed his gratitude for the contract privately by sending personalized letters to every media member who voted him to the All-NBA team last season.
A tweet from the Denver Post’s Mike Singer on Friday confirmed Brown reached out to his media supporters to thank them for their votes. By earning second-team honors for his first-ever All-NBA nod, the 26-year-old met the criteria to qualify for a supermax pact.
