I don't have the time to give a f***: Jaylen Brown

Payton Pritchard said the following about the matter, “JB, that was a snub, for sure. I don't understand how you can be the No. 1 team by a wide margin and only have one dude on that. JB has been terrific all year. Two-way player. He deserved to be on there.”
