Jaylen Brown used Twitch to express frustration with Stephen A. Smith and with the broader media industry Smith represents. Brown said his concerns extend beyond Smith personally, pointing to Smith’s willingness to serve higher-ups as a major issue. Brown suggested that a live audience debate could be the best way to address their conflict. He proposed a traditional media versus athletes format, held at a mutual location such as Harvard or MIT, with a live-streamed audience. Brown framed the matchup as mainstream media versus an untraditional athlete perspective and challenged both sides to determine who comes out on top.
"“Listen, I'm not even really focused on Stephen A.,” Brown said on Sunday, as transcribed by CelticsWire's Justin Quinn. “I'm really focused on the industry that he represents. Obviously, I have my quarrels with Stephen A., but I also have my quarrels with the industry in itself. Stephen A. is the face of the industry and his willingness to serve his higher-ups is a major cause for concern, and it's caused frustration, but it ain't even really about him.”"
"“Stephen A., here's my proposal,” Brown said. “Why don't we have a live audience debate, traditional media versus us athletes? And let's do a live debate in front of a live-streamed audience at a mutual location like Harvard or MIT, and let's talk about it. Let's see who comes out on top. Should be easy. Should be a piece of cake.”"
"“Mainstream traditional media versus the athlete. Let's set it up. Harvard, MIT, live and let's see who comes out on top. You know where to find me. We know where to contact my team. Let's set up a live debate at a mutual location and let's talk about it. Traditional vs. untraditional. Mainstream media vs. the dumb jock. Let's see who comes out on top.”"
