Jaylen Brown Was In An MIT Robotics Session When He Secured The Largest Contra

In NBA History
NBA player Jaylen Brown was once labeled “too smart” to join the very league

杰伦在进入这个后来让他拿到历史等级约的联盟前，曾经被联盟内的人标签为“过度聪明
”
而对他未来发展有所疑虑。
Athlon Sports reports Brown graduated Wheeler High School in Marietta, GA, at
th
e top of his class. He accomplished this while excelling on the basketball cou
rt
. He was a first team All-American and top-five national high school prospect,

在杰伦高中时期，他不仅是全美前五高中生，就连课业上也是班级顶尖的学生。
Between 2015 and 2016, Brown continued his studies at the University of Califo
rn
ia, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), while playing for its basketball team. However, he
w
as not satisfied with the freshman courses they offered him, which were not ch
al
lenging enough, The New York Times reports. He swapped out some of his classes
t
o take on African American Studies, an upper-division class from the Global Po
ve
rty and Practice minors program, and a graduate course titled “Theoretical Fo
un
dations for the Cultural Studies of Sport and Education,” which he had learne
d
about through Hashim Ali, co-founder of the Oakland Soldiers AAU squad, and NB
A
Hall of Famer Isiah Thomas.
大学杰伦选择了学术上的名校UC Berkeley。然而，他对学校提供的大一课程不感到满足
，
觉得那些课程对他来说已不具挑战。他将部分课程换成非裔美人研究，及“体制化的体育
与
教育”、“蓄意的不平等”、“体育在社会中扮演的角色”等研究所的课程。而他跟NBA
名
宿微笑刺客就是在那时成为亦师亦友的忘年之交。
“I said, ‘Jaylen, you’re a freshman,’” Derek Van Rheenen, the class’ pro
fe
ssor, said per The New York Times. “No freshman in the history of this course
h
as ever taken this course. It’s not meant for a freshman.”
当年的教授跟杰伦说“杰伦，你只是一个大一的新鲜人。”“历史上从未有大一生选修这
门
课程，这不是给大一生程度上的。”
Brown’s intelligence was intimidating when he was being considered by NBA tea
ms
following his first year at the university. According to Andscape, an NBA ass
is
tant general manager confirmed this was a concern for general managers and coa
ch
es in the league.
因为JB太聪明了，甚至某些球团GM跟教练认为选他会是一个有风险问题的选择。
“He is an extremely intelligent kid,” the assistant general manager said, pe
r
Andscape. “He took a graduate school class at Cal in his freshman year. He is
a
person who is inquisitive about everything. Because he is so smart, it might
be
intimidating to some teams. He wants to know why you are doing something inst
ea
d of just doing it. I don’t think it’s bad, but it’s a form of questioning
au
thority. It’s not malicious. He just wants to know what is going on. Old-scho
ol
coaches don’t want guys that question stuff.”
一个助理GM说“他太聪明了，在大一就跑去选修研究所的课程。”他是那种对任何事情都
会
有批评质疑精神。这对联盟某些球队来说会感受威胁。他会想知道为何要这么做，而不是
乖
乖照办。我不认为这样不好，但这对某些老派教练来说这是一种挑战权威的行为，他们不
会
希望球员这样。
Brown would go on to enter into the draft and made an unconventional decision
to
do so without an agent, although he would hire one later. Instead, he was sur
ro
unded by advisers, which included Thomas and former NBA All-Star and former UC
B
erkeley student Shareef Abdur-Rahim.
杰伦刚进联盟时甚至不请经纪人，只听取身边例如微笑刺客及同是UC Berkeley的学生Sha
re
ef Abdur-Rahim的意见，自己去学习如何跟球团协商。
Brown was drafted to the Boston Celtics in 2016 as a third overall draft pick,
E
SPN notes. He was signed to a $21.4 million rookie contract, per Spotrac.
JB在2016被青赛用探花签选中。签下总值21.4M的菜鸟合约。
As AFROTECH™ previously reported, Brown has proven to be an asset to the team
,
and this was reflected in his second contract, which was an extension that wen
t
into effect in 2020, valued at $106.3 million, per Spotrac.
之后证明自己是球队重要的资产，2020年时球团与其续约总值106.3M的合约。
During Brown’s 2022-23 season, he was averaging 26.6 points, 6.9 rebounds, an
d
3.5 assists and made the All-NBA 2nd Team in 2023
在22-23赛季，杰伦缴出26.6分/6.9板/3.5助的成绩，这让他入选了年度第二队。
He would then make history signing the highest contract in NBA history with a
su
permax extension that would pay him up to $304 million starting with the 2024
se
ason.
这让他之后签下当下历史等级的304M巨约，合约从24-25赛季开跑。
“He’s a big part of us. We believe in him, and I’m thankful for him,” Bask
et
ball Operations President Brad Stevens, said at the time of the signing, accor
di
ng to the Associated Press. “I’m really thankful that when those guys have s
uc
cess, they come back to work. And when they get beat, they own it, and they co
me
back to work. And so I know that’s what they’re about. And that’s hard to
fi
nd.”
Brad Stevens说“他对我们来说很重要，我们相信他，且对他由衷感谢。”BS在记者会中
说
到，JB就是那种取得成功后，依然会继续努力，当被击倒时，他依然能从中学到什么并且
继
续努力。这种特质造就了他们，而这类人也是相当难找到的。
What’s more, when Brown learned of the contract news he had been in a robotic
s
ession at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with high school stu
de
nts, according to the Boston Globe.
更夸张的是，在他的大约新闻当下，他正跟着一群学生在MIT的机器人学课程。
“I was learning,” he mentioned to the outlet during a press conference. “I
wa
s a part of the curriculum. We were doing some teaching, doing some active eng
ag
ing, some workshops. So I was able to put my phone down and just get right int
o
class with the Bridge students.”
杰伦表示，当时他正在学习，我是那课程中的一员，教导他基金会帮助的Bridge Program
中
的学生。
Brown also broke down the details of the contract in front of over 100 student
s
who are a part of the Bridge Program, created by his 7uice Foundation to offer
o
pportunities and learning pathways for Black and Brown communities.
里面有超过100名他基金会帮助的学生，提供这些人机会去学习。
“I think education is one of the most powerful devices that we have, and it’
s
one of the ways that you know our social mobility is being controlled at a ver
y
early age,” Brown said during an interview with CBS Mornings around the same
ti
me. “So, being able to have my students there who are participating in my MIT
p
rograms to get to learn directly from MIT professors, MIT scientists, NASA ast
ro
nauts, you get to directly benefit from you know those stories and those life
le
ssons. So, my goal is to build the next leaders and next generational leaders
of
the world, and I feel like with the Bridge Program that’s what I’m doing.”
杰伦表示他始终相信教育是最有力的方式，且让你知道这个社会在你年纪还很小时就已经
开
始控制着。所以我让这些学生能直接接受MIT教授的指导，参与MIT的研究计画，甚至是NA
SA
的太空相关课程。我的目标是想培育下一个领袖，下一个世代全球的领袖，这就是我的Br
id
ge Program想做的事。
短评或心得：
大一去修研究所的课程
我大一时只想着有哪门通识课程比较凉…
