“Hit it with a mini-sota”


This season, Jaylen Brown has taken his scoring production to a different level as he takes on greater responsibilities in the absence of his running mate Jayson Tatum. On Saturday, Brown made sure his competition knew exactly how good he is.

In the first quarter of the Boston Celtics' weekend matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Brown found himself in an iso situation against Anthony Edwards, another gifted scorer. Pulling out his bag of tricks, the former Finals MVP broke free from Edwards' defense and nailed a missed jumper. Getting that bucket going, Brown hit Ant-Man with a “too small” taunt.

Brown's gesture sparked a number of reactions from fans online, with some fans getting creative with their responses.

“Hit him with a mini-sota,” one fan tweeted in reference to Edwards' NBA team.

The numbers show that Brown and Edwards are playing exceptionally well this season.

Meanwhile, the one-time Olympic gold medalist is putting up 28.0 ppg on 47.5% FG shooting, 4.8 rpg and 3.6 apg.

Interestingly, both the Celtics and Timberwolves carry 10-8 records heading into Saturday's game. For those deeply interested in the Brown-Edwards debate, this matchup at the Target Center could tip the scales in favor of a young stud.
