Jaylen Brown gives Kristaps Porzingis a tour of his high school

First, the video shows a quote from Brown plastered on the wall at Wheeler High School: “I want to understand everything so I can put myself in a position to succeed.” »

Brown said he didn’t even know the quote was there and was excited to see it. He turned to Porzingis and joked, “If you win anything, I’ll give you a quote, too.”

They then entered the old gymnasium, where Brown played his games, and both players took shots. Brown said there were no lights, it was hot and there was no traction on the ground.

Porzingis then asked Brown if his team won a championship, and Brown said yes and showed him the hardware to prove it. Brown said he made 13 of 13 from the free throw line, including the game-winning shots to seal it.

The camera then panned to his McDonald’s All-American poster, prompting Brown to say, “A young killer right here.” Young handsome young man.

He then showed Porzingis the new gymnasium he helped build. The gym is called Douglas Lipscomb Gymnasium, and Porzingis later met Lipscomb – who coached Brown in high school.

They then briefly discussed a possible trip to Latvia to visit Porzingis’ hometown.
