Stephen A Smith responds to Jaylen Brown's cryptic tweets after Team USA snub: 'Do y’all believe me now?'

Kawhi Leonard withdrew from Team USA ahead of the 2024 Olympics. Emmanuel Acho believes Leonard's legacy has been ruined.

ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith has now entered the conversation revolving around Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown’s Olympic team snub. 

Basketball fans were curious as to why Brown, the NBA Finals MVP, didn’t make Team USA initially. But that conversation escalated when Derrick White, Brown’s Celtics teammate, was the replacement for Kawhi Leonard, who withdrew from the team. 

Brown posted cryptic tweets on Wednesday, where he posted three emojis with monocles and another where he tagged Nike, which makes the Olympic jerseys, and wrote "this what we doing?"

Brown isn’t a Nike athlete, as he signed a deal with adidas in 2016 when he was drafted by the Celtics. 

Smith, then, replied to what Brown had tweeted. 

"Do y’all believe me now?" he tweeted. "Yo (Brown), do I need to reveal my sources now? Is it not obvious now? How in the hell is a $300M man – now a champion and an NBA Finals MVP – who’s clearly a top-two player on the @celtics and a Top-15 player in the world, NOT chosen for Team-USA? B/c his teammate NOT named [Jayson] Tatum is selected before him? Come on y’all!!!"

Brown caught wind of that on May
