Soon after the ink dried on star Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown’s historic supermax contract extension, the hosts of the CLNS Media “Garden Report” podcast sat down to talk through the finer details of the $304 million, five-season extension, the largest contract yet signed in the nearly eight-decade history of the NBA.
The contract’s size also sparks discussions and comparisons with CEO salaries, leading to debates on accountability. Some argue that players earning such massive amounts should be held accountable for their performance on the court, just as CEOs are held accountable for their companies.
Is this a fair way to look at the deal? Or just part of the business of the modern NBA?
Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what these two have to say about the Brown supermax extension and what it means for Boston.
