Jaylen Brown on Team USA snub: 'One day I'll share my story'

USA Basketball's decision to name Derrick White as Kawhi Leonard's replacement triggered a few tweets from Jaylen Brown that hinted at his unhappiness with the snub. Thereafter, scores of fans and ex-players went to bat for the reigning NBA Finals MVP, sympathizing with him getting passed over. 

During the ESPY red carpet event, the Celtics star was asked about the outpouring of support he had received. 

"It's great to have support, and one day I'll share my story," Brown told Sports Illustrated. "People don't have all the information in the world that they would like to know."

In an earlier interview with former NFL MVP Cam Newton, Brown said, "No comment," when asked about the slight hurting his feelings.

Brown's omission from the Paris-bound team became a hot-button issue when he sent a cryptic tweet directed at Nike, Team USA's sponsor. The tweet led to former NBA player Enes Freedom and ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith floating conspiracy theories about Nike being directly responsible for Brown's absence from the Olympic squad.
