Jaylen Brown recently voiced strong criticism of the sports agency model, particularly highlighting its adverse effects on players' wealth management. He supported Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's decision to self-represent, noting that many athletes lose their wealth shortly after retiring due, in part, to inadequate support from their agents. Brown shared his own experiences entering the league without an agent and emphasized the agent's role in athletes' financial education and decision-making, stating that those who fail to assist young athletes should not be in that position.
"Overall, the agency model is failing. It's failing our athletes and failing our culture, so something had to be said."
"If you can't help me at 18 or 19 years old to maintain my wealth... you shouldn't be representing me in the first place."
