Personal life

Brown is primarily a vegetarian and his interests include Spanish language, history, meditation, philosophy, soccer, and anime. Many have described Brown as an unusual athlete, with many ambitions beyond basketball.[105] Brown, who is African-American, assembled a primarily African-American advisory team prior to the NBA draft, but he did not hire an agent.[15] Brown was criticized by some as "too smart" to play in the NBA, with some scouts worrying that he would grow tired of playing basketball and instead opt to pursue other career paths.[15]

At age 22, Brown became the National Basketball Players Association's youngest elected vice president. In recent years, he has spoken on the importance of education and technology at Harvard University, MIT, and his alma mater, Berkeley. In 2019, Brown was named as a MIT Media Lab fellow, and he has since collaborated with the university to create the Bridge Program, which mentors Greater Boston youth and high school students of color who are interested in pursuing careers in STEM programs.[106] Through his work with MIT and his 7uice Foundation, Brown has taken a strong interest in tackling education and income inequality, among other social advocacy initiatives.[107]

He was offered an internship with NASA, was the youngest person to ever hold a lecture at Harvard, and was in the middle of a robotics class when he learned that his agent had secured him the largest contract in NBA history.[108]

Brown has a YouTube channel where he has posted several documentary-style video series depicting his life during the season and off-season workouts. The first episode, FCHWPO: Pawn to E4, was posted on January 31, 2017.[109] The video title refers to Brown's love of chess. FCHWPO, which is also his Twitter and Instagram handle, stands for "Faith, Consistency, Hard Work Pays Off."[110]

Brown is a practicing Muslim, having converted in 2021.[111] In June 2024, Brown performed a pilgrimage to Mecca in the form of an Umrah.[112]

Family and relationships

Brown's father, Marselles, is a professional boxer who is the 2016 WBU World Champion, the 2015 WBU C.A.M. Heavyweight Champion, and a member of the Hawaii State Boxing Commission Board.[113] His grandfather, Willie Brown, is also a former boxer.[114] Brown is the cousin of former professional football cornerback A. J. Bouye.[115]

In 2024, Brown was accompanied by WNBA player Kysre Gondrezick during the Celtics' championship parade and later to the ESPY Awards. On the latter occasion, Brown described Gondrezick as "my date."[116]
