Jaylen Brown: "I think stoicism is something that I had to develop where it's like no emotion, but it's like you're just the same every single day. Because, you know, friends, family, they can let you down, man. They can, they can disappoint you in ways that, it changes you. And the amount of money, the amount of clout, the amount of fame that you're able to acquire puts pressure on the people around you, especially the ones closest to you. And sometimes that can cause damage to relationships, unintentionally, just by you just being successful or you just trying to help your community or you just trying to be the best version you could possibly be for your family."
