Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown on how local community boosts his recovery from surgery
Star Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown may have just had surgery on his knee, but that has not slowed him down from holding his community events for his 741 Performance brand of athletic apparel. In fact, it is the reverse -- the Georgia native made a point of noting how his and Celtics fans who show up to his events have actually been making him feel better since going under the knife to repair a partially torn meniscus in his right knee. Cohosts of the CLNS Media "Garden Report" podcast, Bobby Manning and Noa Dalzell, caught up with Brown after another community event held by the Cal alum this week, talking about his surgery, his ties to the community, and what has been going on with his offseason to date. Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say about all of the above, and more.

Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown hosts 741 Performance pop-up
Star Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown made a surprise appearance at a 741 Performance pop up event he had held in the City of Boston this past Saturday (June 7). The Georgia native has bucked his usual tendency of squeezing in some world travel and training in other cities during the NBA offseason to remain near the city he has made a home in over the course of much of the last decade, and has been holding 741 Performance pop up events while local. The brand, Brown's personal imprint with the intentional goal of providing a quality athletic apparel brand that is not part of one of the major corporations that tend to dominate the industry, has been picking up steam recently, the Cal alum's pop ups certainly helping put some inertia behind that trend.

As another playoff-bound team fires its coach, Joe Mazzulla doesn't bat an eye
'It's coaching,' he said before the Celtics faced the New York Knicks. 'He was 10 years there? That's a lot. You hope for [length] like that. You hope for a situation of stability to be somewhere for as long as you have and when it's your time, it's your time. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up 'But I think you focus more on the fact that he was able to be there for 10 years. Not many coaches get to do that. You hope for that but you know not everybody gets that opportunity.' Advertisement Mazzulla was asked whether he entered this Celtics job knowing eventually his message and impact was eventually going to wane. Reports out of Denver were that Malone's grating style had caused him to lose support. 'To me, I wake up every day and find the balance of, it's part of what motivates me, but I wake up every day saying it's going to be my last day,' Mazzulla said. 'You have to have that type of perspective because it gives you gratitude, keeps you hungry. You have to have a healthy balance if you want this for as long as you can but at the same time you're very much replaceable because that's just how it works. Advertisement 'Every day I remind myself of my own mortality. And I think that's what kind of keeps me in perspective and a gratitude of the opportunity that you have.' Payton Pritchard explains shoe deal Payton Pritchard , the leading Sixth Man of the Year candidate, agreed last week to a new shoe deal with Converse. Pritchard, the Celtics' first-round pick in 2020, had been a player without a shoe contract until he said he began fielding offers in recent months. Pritchard spent the season wearing the '741 Performance' shoes produced by teammate Jaylen Brown . Payton Pritchard scored a shoe deal with Boston-based Converse recently. Danielle Parhizkaran/Globe Staff 'There were a lot of companies, a lot of people put their offers out,' he said at morning shootaround at Madison Square Garden. 'Ultimately Converse's offer and everything that went it is what I thought was the best decision for myself. I've said this before; JB's shoe I think is an unbelievable basketball shoe. Converse appealed to me with the lifestyle and stuff like that.' He said Brown understood his decision. 'Once you tell him the money situation, he's gonna have to understand it a little bit more,' Pritchard said. 'I'm not in the position like JB is [$304 million contract] where I'm not making as much money as that man, so it's a little bit different. He wasn't heartbroken. I'm still going to be supportive of his brand and I hope it takes off.' Advertisement A trend in the NCAA Tournament was the undersized shooting guard such as Walter Clayton Jr. of Florida or Ole Miss's Sean Pedulla , who could be seen as similar to Pritchard. Out of Oregon, Pritchard was viewed as more of a combo guard with the ability to score, and he has quieted those critics who believed he couldn't thrive as a scorer at 6-feet-1-inch. 'It's just expanding your game, showing you can affect the game in many ways,' he said. 'I still look at myself as a point guard. It's just in certain situations I have to become [versatile] to affect the game. In whatever position you're in, it's having a big arsenal. You can be able to play point but you can be able to be a scorer, so in any given situation or on any team, you're never gonna be like, 'aww he can't play because we don't need this.' So it's having a big bag.' Layups The Knicks entered Tuesday at full strength with Jalen Brunson playing his second game since missing 15 games with a sprained ankle and Miles McBride , listed as probable, coming off the bench. New York needed one win to clinch the No. 3 seed after the hard-charging Indiana Pacers, who entered Tuesday on a four-game winning streak . . . Al Horford and family made the trip to San Antonio to see Horford's Florida Gators win the National Championship. Horford was a member of the Gators' back-to-back title teams in 2006 and 2007 and is the only remaining active NBA player from that team. Horford sat out Tuesday with a knee sprain.
