There was no doubt that once Jaylen Brown reopened a can of worms with his foul-mouthed rant at Stephen A. Smith, the latter would open First Take with a response.

For a while, it seemed that the ESPN analyst and the Boston Celtics superstar had calmed down after the two went back and forth exchanging barbs at each other after Brown first appeared on his live stream.

Smith, at the time, had reminded the five-time All-Star that he had been in his corner, particularly when the latter was facing trouble with USA Basketball.

However, that did not stop the 29-year-old from barking back at the analyst on his return to streaming. Brown specifically labeled Smith and his colleagues ‘clowns,’ suggesting they generate clickbait content to boost their careers.

Jaylen Brown, be careful what you wish for. You really want me to start reporting on that level? You understand? Locker room, how the organization might think about you, how the city may feel about you, how Jayson Tatum may or may not feel about you, sneaker deals, endorsement deals, the list goes on and on.

Stephen A. Smith said on First Take

This was the 58-year-old reminding Jaylen Brown that he, too, has a lot of worm cans he can open. Smith reminded the 2024 Finals MVP that he is doing exactly what the latter accused him of doing on his platform.

While establishing yourself as one of the best 2-way players in the NBA… All these endorsement going to your teammate Jayson Tatum, why… None of those endorsements is coming to your direction to the degree that you deserve. You talking about me. I got a deal with CarShield. Why don’t you have any deals? I’m not even trying to insult you.

Stephen A. Smith said

The ESPN executive producer was essentially taking shots at the Celtics’ star’s lack of endorsement deals. He believes Brown’s attitude is to blame for the mess he is in. Therefore, he should check what he rants about on his streams.
