Jaylen Brown Signs Record-Breaking Supermax Extension with Boston Celtics

Epic Deal Sets New Standards for NBA Contract Values

Five-Year Pact Worth Up to $304 Million

Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown has etched his name in NBA history by signing a five-year supermax contract extension worth up to $304 million. The colossal deal makes Brown the first player in league history to sign a supermax contract at a maximum value while not being a reigning NBA MVP or NBA Finals MVP.

"This is a dream come true for me and my family," said Brown. "I love Boston and I'm so grateful to the Celtics for believing in me and giving me this opportunity to continue my career here."

The extension, which takes effect after the 2023-24 season, will see Brown earn an average of $60.8 million per year, making him one of the highest-paid players in the NBA. The Celtics, who acquired Brown in a trade with the Philadelphia 76ers in 2017, have built their team around the 26-year-old All-Star.

Brown has quickly ascended to become one of the most dynamic and versatile players in the league. He is an explosive scorer, averaging over 20 points per game in each of the past three seasons, and a lockdown defender. Brown was named to his second NBA All-Star team this past season.

The Celtics are banking on Brown being a cornerstone of their franchise for years to come. The team believes that he has the potential to lead them back to the NBA Finals, a stage he reached with Boston in 2022.

Brown's record-breaking contract is a testament to his exceptional talent and the Celtics' unwavering commitment to building a championship contender around him. The extension sets a new benchmark for NBA contract values and will have a significant impact on the league's financial landscape going forward.
