While at the Gala, he delivered a speech in which he paid tribute to his late grandmother. He applauded her for the work she did during her life and credited her for instilling in him a strong sense of community.
“My grandmother instilled community into me,” Brown said. “I watched her dedicate herself to making her community a better place.”
Brown ended his speech by asking the crowd to cheer for his grandmother and jokingly mentioned the Celtics championship win as well. He also took to social media to touch on how much he still misses his grandmother.

Following the Gala, Brown will begin preparing for this upcoming NBA season. Alongside Jayson Tatum, he and the Celtics will attempt to become the first team to win back-to-back titles since 2018.
Jaylen Brown’s heartfelt dream of his grandmother during the NBA Finals
After a dominant regular season run, Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics finally broke through to secure a championship. Following their title win, Brown reflected on a heartfelt moment with his late grandmother.
During his postgame press conference after Game 5, Brown was asked about celebrating with family. He responded by saying he wished his grandmother could have been there with him. Brown then shared how she appeared to him in a dream leading up to the title victory.
“I wish my grandmother was here with me to see this moment,” Brown said. “I woke up from a pre-game nap and I had dream and my grandma was in the dream and she gave me a hug. I just knew everything was gonna be alright.”
Brown played a key role in the Celtics’ NBA Finals matchup against the Dallas Mavericks, earning Finals MVP honors after several standout performances on both ends of the floor.
Of all his outings, Brown’s play in Game 3 stands out the most. On the road in Dallas, he notched 30 points, eight rebounds and eight assists in a win for the Celtics. Brown did it all for the Celtics in the series clincher, posting a stat line of 21 points, eight rebounds, six assists and two steals.
