BOSTON — Thousands turned out on Sunday afternoon in Boston to bid farewell to former Boston Celtics star and new Philadelphia 76er, Jaylen Brown.
The 741 Frequency Fest took over a corner of Boston Common on Sunday as fans packed the barricades around the stage at least 15 rows deep to see Brown out in the community he spent so much time becoming a part of one more time. Brown was traded to Philadelphia on July 1.
"I'm at a loss for words," Brown said when he first addressed the crowd. "When I came to this city, I said I was going to go to war for this city. I met so many great people here, people that helped me in the community and motivated me on my journey. People who supported me when even I didn't support myself at times. I just want to say thank you to Boston, thank you to the city, and I love you."
