Celtics star Jaylen Brown was in Los Angeles over the weekend to take part in All-Star festivities after earning his first-ever starting nod in the annual showcase. He played well as part of Team Stripes in Sunday’s new USA vs. World format, scoring 15 total points across three games. When he took the podium to speak to the media afterwards, however, Brown had a different topic he wanted to address.
On Saturday Brown held an event in Beverly Hills for his brand, 741, in partnership with Oakley. Per Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe, Brown planned to host an All-Star Saturday night watch party, a networking event, and a panel at a mansion in the Trousdale section of L.A. Around 7 p.m. PT the Beverly Hills Police Department shut it down. Brown live-streamed a conversation with one officer in which he was told he didn’t have the required permit to host such an event. Shortly thereafter Brown took to social media and vented about the situation.
