Former Los Angeles Lakers star Michael Cooper recently shared his thoughts about his doubts about All-NBA forward Jaylen Brown‘s ability to handle the pressure of his new supermax contract extension with the Boston Celtics in 2023-24 on his CLNS Media “Showtime With Coop” podcast. With great contracts come great expectations, and this former Lakers legend believed that the Georgia native might start to feel the pressure as a result of those heightened expectations.
The scrutiny from Celtics fans, the ball club’s front office, and even teammates can be a heavy burden, especially with the weight of a max contract on one’s shoulders.
Coop also shared his opinions on the Lakers and Boston’s chances of meeting in the 2024 NBA Finals in the upcoming season.
