Jaylen Brown - Free The Bamboo: Episode 1 - a cause & a workout


Kyrie Irving wants to preserve clean water for the Sioux Nation, and Jaylen Brown wants to save the bamboo trees - and possibly the giant pandas, mountain gorillas and lemurs that feed off them. I can't see sound arguments against either cause.


Jaylen is using a series of videos, and his advancing celebrity status, to support a cause that I would be glad to argue for. Looking at both Kyrie and Jaylen's causes, I live in very-northern New England, with clean air and water. I get all of my perfect drinking water from a hard-to-find outlet of a spring at the now-idle Balsams resort at Dixville Notch, NH, and I cool off daily in the aptly-named Clear Stream of Errol, NH. My grand-daughter, Courtney, afflicted with Cystic Fibrosis, says she breathes easier here. Logging goes on constantly in my area, but there is no raping the land. I live here, in part, for those reasons.


But beyond the causes, Brown is working hard on his off-season conditioning. If you watch the video below, you will see his very-varied workout routine. A weigh-in (227.8 pounds) - battle ropes - weighted burpees - cardio - handles routines on the court - free throw work - boxing - shooting from distance - and alternate push-ups/one-armed rows with dumbbells.



So if Jaylen Brown's FCHWPO truly stands for Faith - Consistency - Hard Work - Pay Off, then it seems he may be practicing what he preaches. I love that because I have seen many successful people owe their success to preaching what they hardly ever practice. How can you believe in something that you tell people to do - that you never do yourself? Training camp starts in four weeks. Get ready.
