Jaylen Brown sports intriguing footwear during Game 3 loss to Hawks

Jaylen Brown seems to have taken a page out of the book of former teammate Kyrie Irving.

The Boston Celtics swingman Brown lit up social media on Friday due to the peculiar message written on his shoes during a Game 3 loss to the Atlanta Hawks.

Brown’s custom-made sneakers had the message, “Was it really Neismith?” -- apparently questioning whether Dr. James Naismith was the true inventor of the game of basketball. Somewhat undercutting the strange message, the shoes misspelled Naismith’s name.

Brown’s sneakers also contained the message “Just do better,” as well as an image of a Yucatan archaeological site as well as other Mesoamerican imagery (including a colossal Olmec head). Take a look.
