Brian Scalabrine claims Jaylen Brown wants to portray himself as ‘the victim’ in Jayson Tatum beef

Brian Scalabrine has made his frustration with Jaylen Brown and his comments about Jayson Tatum no secret. Scalabrine has used his role as the lead announcer for the Boston Celtics to take multiple pointed jabs at Brown in recent weeks. But now, when speaking in depth about the matter, Scalabrine has taken a far more aggressive and straightforward stance against the former NBA Finals MVP. Brian Scalabrine says Jaylen Brown is trying to avoid accountability Speaking on SiriusXM NBA Radio , former Boston Celtics star-turned-commentator Brian Scalabrine was asked to clarify the intent behind his digs at Jaylen Brown recently. He believes that Brown is trying to portray himself as the aggrieved figure in the aftermath of his split with the Boston Celtics, and isn’t willing to own up to the mistakes he made during his time with the Celtics. Scalabrine said: “Jaylen Brown wants to be the victim in all of this, and this is the way he’s doing it now. He’s using me, or his PR team, or whatever it is, to play the victim, and he’s not going to take responsibility for it. That’s fine… “I just feel like he wants to say whatever he wants, and he doesn’t want to be held accountable, just like on his Twitch. He wants his legacy to remain intact, and he’s not going to take responsibility for the other stuff that he brings up. And this is just the beginning of it.” Scalabrine is a figure who holds the image and reputation of the Celtics organisation in the highest regard, and doesn’t appreciate it when he feels that image is tarnished. Brown’s recent comments about Tatum and the Celtics certainly haven’t shone a positive light on the franchise, hence why Scalabrine has chosen to take digs at the now-76ers star. It is somewhat unfair of Scalabrine to insert himself into an issue that has nothing to do with him, but given his admiration for the Celtics, him speaking up isn’t exactly surprising. ‘Said my piece’ – Jayson Tatum refuses to address Jaylen Brown beef anymore ‘Shut the hell up: Charles Barkley sends message to Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown amid ‘beef’ Celtics announcers take ‘PR Team’ digs at Jaylen Brown over Jayson Tatum beef
