Jaylen hits tough shot for charity on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!'

CELTICS



Jaylen Brown may have hit his toughest shot of the year Thursday during an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"

The Boston Celtics All-Star played a game of "Hell Hoop" prior to Game 2 of the NBA Finals on ABC. Brown was tasked with making a shot into a rotating hoop while inflatable defenders stood in his way. If he succeeded, he'd get $25,000 toward his 7uice Foundation.


See how Brown fared in the video below:

Third time was the charm.

Apparently, "Hell Hoop" wasn't enough of a challenge for the 24-year-old.

Too Easy make it a little harder next time

Brown has made a lot of things look easy this year. He's coming off a 2020-21 season in which he set career highs in shooting percentage (48.4), 3-point percentage (39.7) and points per game (24.7).

While he isn't joining C's teammate Jayson Tatum on Team USA this summer, Brown is having a busy offseason of his own. In June, he met with former United States president Barack Obama.

MY NOTE:  Well, it looks like his wrist is a lot better (although this isn't the same as having laser passes hitting his hands in a game, or having defenders slapping down on his wrist).  Nice mechanics on his shot.  Boy, has that come a long way since he was drafted.  Love this kid, love just about everything about him.  His work ethic, his social conscience, his IQ and his EQ. When we had a problem with starting off games ready to play Jaylen Brown took it upon himself to coming out on fire. He repeatedly took over the first quarter because his running mate, Jayson Tatum, is notorious for needing more time to get into his rhythm. He's not a vocal fireball like Marcus Smart is, but he's a leader.

That was no easy shot

Great young man and a pure Celtic top to bottom.

In the mold for this generation of Havlicek and Jeter

39.7% from three is pretty awesome from a man the sports experts said could not shoot a lick coning out of Cal.
