Is Antonio Brown signaling his future or is he just messing with the NFL-crazy public? The Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver unfollowed his own team on Instagram on Wednesday and started following the San Francisco 49ers, according to Yahoo! Sports. Brown on Wednesday also posted a picture of Jerry Rice, the legendary 49ers wide receiver, on his Instagram story, according to San Francisco radio station KNBR.

Why Marcus Morris, Not Jaylen Brown, Guarded Kawhi Leonard In Crunch Time
BOSTON — Jaylen Brown is touted as one of the Boston Celtics’ best defenders, but when Friday’s game was on the line, he was comfortably situated on the bench. Upon checking out at 5:22 in the fourth quarter, Brown never returned to the floor in the C’s big 123-116 overtime win over the Toronto Raptors. As such, when Raptors star Kawhi Leonard had the ball, oftentimes it was Marcus Morris guarding him. And ultimately, Morris made the biggest defensive stop of the game. Tied in the fourth quarter and barely a second between the game and shot clock, Leonard handled the ball at the top of the key. Morris closely guarded him, and

Jaylen Brown Reveals Which Celtic Teammate Drives Him Craziest
The Boston Celtics feature a number of different personalties on their roster. There’s Kyrie Irving, the free thinker. Jayson Tatum, the silent assassin and who can forget Guerschon Yabusele, the dancing bear. And then there’s Marcus Smart. Smart brings an unmatched energy every time he takes the court, which apparently even bodes true in a practice setting. Textbook Marcus Smart. While Smart might drive Brown and other members of the Celtics crazy from time to time, he’s the type of player any team would want on its roster. Boston certainly felt this way over the summer when it inked the pesky guard to a four-year, $ 52 milli... NESN.com
How Jaylen Brown Can Make NBA History During Eastern Conference Finals Vs. Cavs
The Boston Celtics entered the 2018 NBA playoffs with little expectations after losing star point guard Kyrie Irving for the season due to knee surgery in March. Boston still grabbed the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference, but the C’s were an afterthought when the playoffs began. That all has changed now, as the Celtics narrowly defeated the Milwaukee Bucks in Round 1 before rolling over the Philadelphia 76ers in Round 2. And after Tuesday night’s 107-94 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston now holds a 2-0 series lead in the Eastern Conference finals.
