After the Celtics’ victory on Friday night, Brown informed reporters that he had loved keeping Ramadan.
Jaylen Brown confirmed that he has been keeping Ramadan to NBC Sport Boston’s Abby Chin following the Celtics’ victory over the Pistons on Friday night.
This indicates that Brown has been fasting every day from sunrise to sunset since March 10th and will keep up the fast until the end of Ramadan on April 9th. Muslims around the world mark Ramadan, the ninth month in the Islamic calendar, as a time for fasting, prayer, introspection, and community.
It’s a truly wonderful season. There are participants from all over the world, and me, I’m just one of those people who kind of goes along with the flow,” Brown remarked. “This is a wonderful month to celebrate. It everything comes down to your strength and focus.
Jaylen Brown added that he observes Ramadan because of his sense of community.
Over the years, he remarked, “I’ve enjoyed being a part of receiving those clarities, but it’s not necessarily something I make about myself either.” “I’m grateful that everyone is working together to complete this task.”
Jaylen Brown has averaging 29.8 points and 6 rebounds per game since the start of Ramadan on March 10. During that time, he has helped the Celtics win five games while shooting forty percent and 53.8% from three.
Hakeem Olajuwon and Kyrie Irving are two renowned NBA players who celebrated Ramadan while maintaining their high standards of performance.
Following his 33-point outing against the Pistons, Brown stated that he finds it easy to observe Ramadan as a professional athlete.
“People in different parts of the world have a lot more difficulties,” he remarked. They are not endowed with the same opportunities, blessings, or privileges that I am. It doesn’t seem tough to me at all.
This is not Brown’s first year of observation. “It’s something that’s saved my life in a lot of ways,” he stated in 2022. He talked about how it made him feel happier last year.
Brown stated yesterday night, “It’s more about my faith, more off the court – stuff that you work on, your belief, and things like that.” Mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally, all of those things kind of go hand in hand, but they all influence one another. It clearly seems to me that faith, spirit, and belief are more important than the actual physical state of things.
