  "account": "The question of whether Boston Celtics star forward Jaylen Brown should have his jersey number retired by the team has been a topic of discussion. There are arguments both in favor of and against this decision. However, the reporters at Celtics Wire lean towards the idea of hanging No. 7 in the rafters starting from yesterday.\n\nIt is also worth noting that Boston already has a significant number of player jerseys retired, as the team has been quite successful in terms of regular season games won and titles. With so many nods to past accomplishments by iconic Celtics, some might argue that Brown has not quite reached the bar needed to join them in having his jersey hung among such greats.\n\nA clip from the NESN YouTube channel's \"Boston Has Entered the Chat\" podcast takes a closer look at this issue. The video can be found below. Additionally, the article \"Should star forward Jaylen Brown have his jersey number retired by the Boston Celtics?\" originally appeared on Celtics Wire.",
