Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown took up an unlikely yet comical role off the court.
Ahead of the Celtics’ season opener Wednesday, Brown served as a pre-audition guest judge as part of comedian Druski’s «Coulda Been Records» Boston auditions.
Brown particpated in a role similar to that of Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson — who made an appearance in May — as the decision-maker to determine if contestants should advance to the next round of their audition for the record label: to get in front of Druski, the fictional label’s CEO.
Brown made four appearances in the auditions. The first was as an aspiring rapper named «Blicky,» who donned a Jayson Tatum jersey. He also joked with a contestant who said she was there to support her brother, implying the contestant would be a perfect fit for the comedian’s reality dating show.
«She needs to be on ‘Coulda Been Love,’ that’s a keeper right there for Druski,» Brown quipped.
The Celtics guard also hilariously asked a contestant, «BStar,» what WNBA team she played for before she broke out dance moves, prompting Brown to send her to the official audition.
His final approval came for «Smeet,» who did a motivational speech from the Sylvester Stallone film «Rocky.»
Brown scored 25 points, grabbed 6 rebounds and dished out 4 assists in the Celtics’ 117-116 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday.
