Philadelphia 76ers star Jaylen Brown is one who wants to be known as more than just a basketball player. While he is already regarded as one of the best players in the league, he wants to be a well-rounded individual and therefore wants to try new things.
While visiting Italy, Brown took part in some fencing lessons. Fencing is a sport where the individuals fight with swords and focuses on speed, strategy, and outmaneuvering an opponent. It is also now an Olympic sport and the new Sixers star wanted to take part in learning something new.
Brown wore the right protective gear and went after it. To his credit, he looked like he was holding his own and was able to pick up on the rules rather quickly.
Of course, Sixers fans are always wary of stuff
such as this because of the franchise's history with random injuries, but Brown is a smart man who knows how to protect himself. As the season approaches, it appears that Brown is ready for what's to come in the 2026-27 season as he looks to help the Sixers reach the mountaintop in the league.
