Jaylen Brown Gets Honest About Teaming Up With LeBron James

The Philadelphia 76ers recently acquired both Jaylen Brown and LeBron James in a major trade. Brown joined the team from the Boston Celtics as part of a blockbuster deal. Meanwhile, James made the surprising decision to re-sign with the 76ers after his historic 24th NBA season. On Monday night, Brown spoke about his partnership with the legendary player during a livestream.

"I love learning," Brown said, "so to have the opportunity to learn from one, if not the greatest player of all time." On the court and off, Brown sees this as a chance to gather experiences that will build his own knowledge base. The 76ers' roster now boasts a mix of talent, including Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and VJ Edgecombe.

With this lineup, the team is seen as one of the top favorites in the Eastern Conference. Brown had been the Celtics' top option throughout the 2025-26 season, as Jayson Tatum recovered from a torn Achilles tendon. Through 71 games, Brown averaged a career-high 28.7 points per game. James, turning 42 in December, averaged 20.9 points, 7.2 assists, and 6.1 rebounds per game in his eighth and final season with the Los Angeles Lakers.
