"Brown hacked before Embiid" - NBA fans troll Jaylen Brown over Celtics star's Twitter account likely being hacked

Jaylen Brown's summer has been filled with championship celebrations and preparations for the upcoming season. However, his X account is his latest offseason development after it was hacked on Thursday. Brown's hacker posted several tweets promoting cryptocurrency, which caught the attention of NBA fans.

Brown is active on social media, posting pictures of his training sessions and other endeavors. Although, given the Celtics star's stature, he is not the first high-caliber athlete to be attacked on social media.

Following Brown's hacked posts, several fans shared their reactions on the platform.

"Jaylen Brown hacked before Embiid makes it out the second round."

X users Jacob LeRea (@jacob_lerea) and T (@CeltsHoops) likened this development to when Giannis Antetokounmpo was hacked.

"How did Jaylen Brown get hacked and the dude didn't take the opportunity to bash Tatum before promoting his coin, would've gotten 10x the audience," the fan posted.

"The hack game needed this Jaylen Brown performance. Feels like we haven't seen anything like this since Giannis," the fan posted.

"In other news, the Celtics hate train continues, as Jaylen Brown has been hacked," the fan posted.

"Jaylen Brown's hacker is better than Giannis', all he's doing is spamming crypto s***," the fan posted.

The hacked tweets were taken down a few minutes after they were posted, but they have since been re-uploaded with more comments from the hacker.

Their status as the hunted is a product of the team securing an 18th NBA championship banner this summer. After years of scrutiny from fans and the media, Tatum and Brown's homegrown talents finally shined. Now, they must reach another level to defend what they've earned.
