According to Nick Wingfield of The Information, the rumors Bill Simmons tried to spread on The Ringer in a recent podcast episode are absolutely untrue.

Many rumors and reports have emerged since the Grousbeck family publicly put the Boston Celtics up for sale. The biggest one was Amazon’s founder, Jeff Bezos, wanting to purchase Boston’s franchise.

This rumor wasn’t totally out of the norm because Bezos was interested in the NFL’s Washington Commanders.

After months of recharging the batteries and celebrating winning the 2024 NBA Championship, Jaylen Brown is ready to get back to work.

While some would want to savor the moment until forced to defend it, Brown wholeheartedly embraces it.

“Last year is over, to be honest. We celebrated, we had a good time. It’s been an awesome summer. I’ve been having a great summer, by the way. But it’s over with it,” Brown said. “Now we got the target on our back. Everybody’s trying to come after us and I’m like, ‘Come on.’ It’s back to work. And I’m looking forward to next season.”

The Finals MVP is ready to defend the championship, with the Boston Celtics being a heavy favorite to go back-to-back.
