Jaylen Brown Shares Heartfelt Message To Boston After Receiving Keys To The State
After being honored by the city of Boston, Jaylen Brown had to share a few words to encapsulate the time he spent there with the Celtics.
In February 2026, Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown bid farewell to his city of Boston as he embarked on a new chapter in his professional career. Prior to his move to Philadelphia, Brown organized a farewell block party in Boston to thank the city and its people for their support throughout his 10-year tenure with the Celtics. The event, known as the 741 Frequency Fest, saw Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts honor Jaylen Brown by giving him the keys to the state.
Wu remarked on naming a street "Jaylen Brown Way," explaining that it would serve as a memento for the superstar to remember the city by, as well as a signal for him should he ever return to play in Boston again. As Brown addressed the crowd, filled with the passion of fans chanting "JB," he acknowledged the city's contributions to his career, stating that he has met numerous great people and received invaluable support, particularly during the times when he failed to support himself.
He expressed deep gratitude to Boston and its people, vowing to give back to the city. With the upcoming season presenting new challenges and opportunities, Jaylen Brown, now a key member of Philadelphia's superstar core alongside LeBron James and Tyrese Maxey, is poised to make a significant impact in the upcoming campaign.
