“Hit him with a mini-sota” – NBA Fans React as Jaylen Brown Trolls Anthony Edwards with ‘Too small’ Gesture as Celtics Star Drops 19 pts in 1st Qtr

This season, Jaylen Brown has taken his scoring production to a different level as he shoulders bigger responsibilities in the absence of his running mate Jayson Tatum. On Saturday, Brown made sure that his competition knew exactly how good he is.

In the first quarter of the Boston Celtics’ weekend showdown against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Brown was in an iso situation against Anthony Edwards, another gifted scorer. Pulling out his bag of tricks, the former Finals MVP shook free of Edwards’ defense and nailed a fadeaway jumper. Getting this bucket to go, Brown then hit Ant-Man with a “too small” taunt.

Thanks for the submission!
