Shaquille O’Neal tried to counsel Jaylen Brown after the Celtics’ 105-98 Game 2 victory over the Mavs on Sunday, but to no avail.
Brown sat down for a postgame interview with NBA TV staff and Shaq take his time to give the C guard some frankly confusing advice.
“I’m going to give you the information about the G-14 split because it will be the last time you see me,” O’Neal told Brown. “It’s a riddle. Don’t focus on useless topics. Do what you have to do. It doesn’t matter who or what they say. Now is not the time for all that. Do what you have to do and do it.”
Brown told Shaq, “I understand. Yes Sir,”
But Brown was then asked if he understood what Shaq meant and replied, ‘No’, with a laugh.
Thankfully, Shaq continued to explain himself as viewers and Brown himself were left scratching their heads.
“Okay, let me break it down,” O’Neal said. “They are trying to separate you and your boyfriend over who is better. I say, don’t worry about useless qualifications. ‘Who is the man?’ It doesn’t matter who the man is. Kobe is a man. Shaq’s husband. It doesn’t matter. I get my 40’s. Kobe gets his 39. Let’s go and win these titles. Then what did that mean.”
For the record, neither Tatum nor Brown were particularly impressed to start the series. Both were struggling to coordinate their shots.
Tatum averaged 17 points, ten rebounds and 8.5 assists on 4-14 shooting from three and 12-38 shooting from the field in two games.
During that time, Brown averaged 21.5 points, five rebounds and 4.5 assists on 3-11 on 15-27 three-point shooting in two games against Dallas.
