10 Things Jaylen Brown Can't Live Without | GQ Sports

I gotta drop out cold my name is Damon brown played for the Boston Celtics welcome to GQ B's I'm Austin my first essential I'm gonna go with books people who know me I'm an avid book reader and things like that my library right now is actually a little bit trash I give a lot of my books away so these first two is suggestions for you guys the war of art my Steven Pressfield book talks about breaking down barriers moving past resistance unlocking like the creativity within Saudi I think that's a good recommendation impound a stone by Joshua Metcalf we have mutual friends he wrote a book also called chop wood carry water and right now I'm learning French but a special friend who's teaching me French so this is an essential for me right now but the other two is for you I prefer reading over watching TV I prefer reading over social media before reading over a lot of stuff just something about turning the pages I don't enjoy actually we need to stop the interview I can't I can't live without this next essential before I go to sleep when I wake up etc this is like most key thing for me it's t so nice and gonna stop because I'm actually have a glass right now so all right a little bit more a little more I appreciate you can look hot like actually a travel with tea because most times you go to the hotels the tea is trash I mean I got all different types I just keep some in my back when I go places if she helps me you know sleep after games and sometimes it's hard to come back down at this Inn if it's an intense game so tea is like one of the only things I can't get help me relax after one of those intense game my favorite tea depends on the mood I'm in or I'm feeling if I got a headache or I feel tired or if I'm ready to go to sleep I got a bunch of different season here but lemon gingers in my cup right now I don't like coffee you know I drink coffee you never really have to his life I'm have a tea shop one day so stay tuned for that I'm looking forward to having the tea shop and infusion next essential is sage if you don't know what this is you need to get to know it I like the same thing which he like to travel with in my back you know when I get to different places that I'm going I like to just lightly say his area just to make sure - or it's clean when I'm walking into it I think I've been sages for about five four or five years since Navy College things I got introduced to me actually I Berkeley about one of my professors she taught my global poverty in practice class and every time we walked in the class she says the room that made us acknowledge our privilege for being able to be where we're at and things like that and it was actually a really go class [Music] next essential lemon perfect you can find this in your local Starbucks shout out the yani CEO a good friend of mine / coach if you look before face look no further I got a million-dollar smile oh so next item Passport I love traveling I love taking my family places around this time last year I took my family to Egypt to just explore and see the pyramids and things like that took my grandparents so when this is all over hopefully you know my first place I'll probably want to go as Kofi oh I've always wanted to go to Tokyo Japan just to explore travel I love the fashion I'm gonna use anime fan so when all is said and done hopefully that's the first place you know I get to travel to okay the next item I like to travel with is my jewelry box depending on where I'm going or how long I'm going for the items my very or switch out but for the most part you know these are some of the things you might see in my jewelry box I keep like some crystals in here wives or some bracelets I'm bierbaum got to make the sort of beer stay fresh and some custom pieces I wanted to show you guys about a custom 7/3 piece I got this in South Africa it's a smoky quartz some custom pendants this my best friend passed away about two and a half years ago he passed away from suicide shout out to Steve family we love you I'm gonna come home and guess on the eat so my favorite piece I'll probably say my art I wear this a lot of times under my clothing I just wear it as a piece to like keep the negative energy away and for the most part of work a lot of people for some reason when I'm wearing it keep a distance or don't be coming on OBS so that's probably my favorite piece to wear [Music] I always have a pic for my beard to keep it you know from being tangled up they said were a lot of people be asking questions like about my beer high pitch old beer so tonight JV telling me the secret I can give you all my secrets but I'll tell you I keep a pic make sure it's picked out I put the berries and juices in there make sure is lush and stuff like that and that's all I can really tell you you show me next item is I got this cool hat case off Amazon I cut my hair about it almost a year ago about this summer for sure so now I'm able to wear hats I never been able to wear a house in five six seven years so now when I travel and stuff I keep my house in a in a hat case like this and I can just pull him out and just put them on or whatever the case may be just keep it moving but my collection is is picking up fast like during this quarantine time I've been online like just by looking for stuff hats and stuff like that especially now because I ain't been able to get a haircut so I definitely need hats ASAP and somebody knows to go Pat plugs let me know because I'm you know I cut my hair I'm leading up into this season just because I feel like it was time for a change I just wanted to see something different I used to have like a a box everybody used to notice me point me out identifying about my hair and I just wanted to change it up edifis like a long time people knew recognize me by my haircut but to be honest the reaction was unexpected I had no idea so many people cared about my hair like at the same time I was appreciative that a lot of people and show support and just gave me a idea like how many people knew who I was and recognized me so I was pretty cool [Music] [Applause] people who know me know I like to play chess I grew up playing chess I was in the Chess Club when I was in middle school up into high school I loved playing it with my friends and my family just to you know keep your mind sharp also I liked playing with people I just needed just to get a feel for how they think a little bit measure their acuity I keep this chess board and it's like foldable I put all the pieces in here I could fold it up and just take it with me it's easy to carry his light it's small and if I'm going on vacation or something I'm definitely bringing out the chess board next is a record player I used to have a travel one it broke so I had to get this one for GQ but on I travel I like to take the little travel record player with me and bring some some dope records and stuff I got some records with me and I wanted to show you guys some of the records that I had to part Jimi Hendrix the Beatles Marvin Gaye Teddy Pendergrass Sade the chronic this one I want to get signed a good kid nasty I'm the best albums of all time KDOT Carlos Santana drop out cold Coltrane right now I'm gonna go with to pot today all odds on me because I feel like you the to talk energy is relevant so I felt like Tupac he's definitely one of the people I look up to everything he accomplished in his short 25 years of life definitely something to try to follow us I didn't try to chase so I started putting my record collection when I got to the league probably about four or five years ago I went to a record store and he's off to the races I just started buying records saving them keeping them in a plastic just saving them so when I ran across the money to sign I probably have like around a hundred and as a grow and as I get older if I don't continue to get bigger and bigger but these were some of my favorites that I got right now my next essential is my quarantine officials which include a mask I got my gloves on Lysol and sanitizing extra gloves you got to stay safe in these troops quarantine has been a lot different than I expected
