Was star Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown snubbed by Team USA?

Was star Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown snubbed by Team USA for the 2024 Paris Olympics? Despite winning the league’s Finals Most Valuable Player award as he helped the Celtics to win the 2024 NBA Championship, there was no invite waiting for Brown despite having previously played for Team USA in less prestigious competition.

Was this a slight for something Brown has said or done since the Georgia native last played for the U.S. National Team? Or was this more of an issue of fit given the other players who are suiting up for Team USA, making the need for a player like Brown less important? 

The hosts of the CLNS Media “The Big Three NBA” podcast, A. Sherrod Blakely, Gary Washburn, and Kwani Lunis, took a closer look on a recent episode of their show. Check it out below!
