The three-time Celtics All-Star initially called Antetokounmpo &#8220;a child&#8221; after the matchup.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_wsuupa23y\">Nike, Antetokounmpo&#8217;s sportswear partner since his 2013-14 rookie season, praised Antetokounmpo&#8217;s recent 59-point, 14-rebound, seven-assist effort in a 127-120 overtime victory over the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday, while taking shots at Brown for the diss.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_67eud5dkt\">The three-time All-Star weighed in on the diss hilariously on his own personal X account, calling out the Oregon-based brand for having &#8220;weird energy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Yall got weird energy <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/f8DTuq2YCQ\">https:\/\/t.co\/f8DTuq2YCQ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Jaylen Brown (@FCHWPO) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FCHWPO\/status\/1857148908176044111?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 14, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_cvp2pnen0\">The 28-year-old has been in the midst of yet another stellar season for the 10-3 Celtics. He&#8217;s averaging 25.4 points on .424\/.295\/.764 shooting splits, 7.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.2 steals a night in his nine healthy matchups.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_6gft2tgra\">Brown may have been just the second-best player on Boston&#8217;s 2023-24 title team, but he enjoyed a more consistent run through the playoffs than the first-best player, five-time All-Star power forward Jayson Tatum.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_5s6ls5spq\">The club has been getting along fine even without starting center Kristaps Porzingis for a single game this season. His backup, Al Horford, has been healthy in 11 of the Celtics&#8217; first 13 contests. The 38-year-old is averaging 8.6 points on .493\/.440\/1.000 shooting splits, 5.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.6 steals a night in his 26.5 minutes per for the club. Now in his 18th season, Horford may be far removed from the five-time All-Star he was during his prime years with Boston and the Atlanta Hawks, but he remains a valuable two-way contributor even in his dotage. All-Defensive guards Derrick White and Jrue Holiday remain in their extended primes.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_2jil7smy7\">While playing 11 games for the 4-8 Bucks, the 6-foot-11 Antetokounmpo is averaging 33.3 points on 61.6 percent shooting from the field and 61 percent shooting from the charity stripe, 12.1 rebounds, 5.5 rebounds, 1.4 blocks and 0.5 steals a game.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_zqh2ortom\">Milwaukee needs an engaged Antetokounmpo to help it dig itself out of this early season hole. Luckily for the Bucks, all but three teams in the East (the Celtics, 13-0 Cleveland Cavaliers and 7-6 Orlando Magic) have sub-.500 records. So the competition for a playoff spot is still pretty lax.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2024 Finals MVP Jaylen Brown has been getting into it with 2021 Finals MVP Giannis Antetetokounmpo, and now one of the biggest brands in the Milwaukee Bucks sup<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":7458,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7457","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>BREAKING: Celtics&#039;
