Thousands attended the five-hour sendoff, where Brown thanked Boston fans and received a ceremonial street sign and key to the state.
- Thousands of fans gathered on Boston Common on Sunday for Jaylen Brown's '741 Frequency Fest,' a farewell block party hosted by the former Celtics star nearly two months after his trade to the Philadelphia 76ers.
- The 29-year-old was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers on July 1, a move Celtics executive Brad Stevens admitted would be unpopular with the fanbase after Brown spent 10 seasons as Boston's longest-tenured player.
- Massachusetts officials presented Brown with a 'key to the state' for his community work, while Boston Mayor Michelle Wu gave him a ceremonial 'Jaylen Brown Way' street sign recognizing his off-court impact.
- Attendees signed a panel bearing the words 'Thank you, Jaylen. Love, the city of Boston,' while Brown addressed the crowd, saying 'I appreciate y'all for pulling up' to the event.
- Brown joins new teammates Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and LeBron James at 76ers training camp next month, with his first return to Boston as an opponent scheduled for January 21.
