NBA Stars: Origins & Stories – The Basketball Lab Podcast

Origins of Stars: Jaylen Brown! (Advent Calendar #15)

Welcome to the Basket Lab Advent Calendar 2025!

This year to wait for Christmas, we waited every day with a new journey through time: we plunged back into the past to revisit and discover who the NBA stars were…in their early days! Those who were predestined to be the best players in the world, and those who surprisingly became one!

For this fifteenth issue, the star high school student who reinvented his game, Jaylen Brown.

We revisited Brown’s profile through Matt Kamalsky’s article from April 2016 after his freshman season at Cal University.

Welcome to the Basket Lab.
