After one of his best games ever, Boston Celtics wing Jaylen Brown delivered an emotional press conference about the death of his best friend Trevin Steede.
Steede passed away Wednesday night. The next day, Brown said he almost sat out a game against the Golden State Warriors. After deciding to play, the youngster scored a team-high 22 points to help the Celtics upset Golden State, 92-88, and extend their winning streak to 14 games.
"My best friend passed last night," Brown said. "It was tough to kind of accept it. Everybody was kind of in shock. But I knew coming into today that he would have wanted me to play. It was hard getting my thoughts together, but after talking to his mom and his family, they inspired me to come out and play. I wasn't in any shape to come out. I didn't want to leave my room. But they inspired me to come out and play. And I came out and played in his spirit today. My teammates held me up and we pulled it out."
