Jaylen Brown was in the news for his comments on flopping in his Boston Celtics 2026 NBA Eastern Conference Playoffs first round series loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on a recent Twitch stream. And given his vocal protests of the officiating in that series and the Sixers' alleged flopping, deservedly so. But he also had some praise for star Philly big man Joel Embiid, whose return from a late-season appendectomy helped swing the series to the 76ers.
"Thatâs how you know people be watching my stream" said the Georgia native. "Thatâs how you know Joel Embiid was sitting there at home, eating chocolate chip cookies, watching my stream, and he was like, âYou know what? When I come back, Iâm going to show these guys.â"
"Because I ainât never seen him that dominant," continued Brown. "He was dominant from a physical standpoint, passing the ball."
