An unexpected development early in the NBA season is the emerging rivalry between Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown and two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks. The tension came to a head during the Celtics’ victory over the Bucks last Sunday, leading Brown to refer to Antetokounmpo as a “child” in his postgame press remarks.

Nike jumped into the fray on Wednesday night, celebrating Antetokounmpo’s impressive 59-point game by making a reference to the ongoing feud. They tweeted from their Nike Basketball account, “Nothing childish about ’em. 59 for the Greek Freak.” The next day, Brown issued his own response.

After helping the Celtics secure a win against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday, Brown took to Twitter to address Nike’s comment, posting “Yall got weird energy” from his personal account.

The skirmish with Nike adds another layer to Brown’s challenging summer, which followed his Finals MVP win and his first NBA championship title. Brown has been vocal about his belief that Nike played a significant role in his exclusion from Team USA for the Paris Olympics. This is notable as Nike is a major sponsor for Team USA at the Olympics, and Brown had previously expressed criticism towards the company.

Now, it appears Brown is set to confront both Nike and Antetokounmpo throughout the season. This ongoing tension is something to watch, especially when the Celtics next face the Bucks in December.
