Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown, fresh off his 2024 NBA Finals MVP campaign, kicked off his streaming career on Twitch this weekend, where he couldn’t help but poke fun at teammate Jayson Tatum’s striking new hairstyle. The 2025 offseason has been eventful for the Celtics’ dynamic duo, with Brown globetrotting and diving into livestreaming, while Tatum has been navigating recovery from a serious Achilles injury and making headlines with his latest look.
Tatum, spotted at the California wedding of close friend and three-time All-Star Bradley Beal, turned heads with his new braided hairstyle alongside fellow NBA groomsmen Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Garrett Temple. The St. Louis natives share a long-standing bond, with Beal mentoring Tatum since their early years.
During Brown’s Twitch stream on Sunday, fans flooded the chat with comments about Tatum’s fresh look. “They’re saying JT’s got braids now,” Brown remarked, grinning. “That’s wild… JT’s just out here trying anything!” The lighthearted jab added a playful note to the Celtics’ offseason, as both stars continue to embrace new ventures on and off the court.
