Jaylen Brown shares photos of intense underwater offseason workout originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
NBA training camps are still about a month away, but the reigning Finals MVP is already busy getting in shape for the upcoming 2024-25 season.
Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown went viral in the summer of 2022 for doing underwater workouts, including exercises with dumbbells at the bottom of a pool.
Those exercises are back.
Over the weekend, Brown shared several photos of his latest underwater workouts on Instagram and X. This time he even had a basketball with him underwater.

Celtics legend Kevin Garnett had a message for the rest of the league after seeing the intensity of Brown’s latest offseason workouts:
Lord… @FCHWPO is under water with a dumbbell in one hand and a basketball in the other…. 🤣🤣🤣
Shyt might be over for everybody ☘️🔥🤝🏾

Brown averaged 23.9 points, 5.9 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game while shooting 51.6 percent from the field during the Celtics’ 19-game playoff run in the spring. He won both Eastern Conference MVP and NBA Finals MVP as the C’s cruised to a record 18th championship.
No team has repeated as champions since the Golden State Warriors in 2016-17 and 2017-18, so defending the title is going to be a pretty tough task for the Celtics.
But the Celtics still have plenty of motivation despite just winning a championship. And by the looks of it, Brown will be more than ready to go by the time camp rolls around in September.
