Jaylen Brown bought into the hype of Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes college football program and traveled to Boulder on Saturday to watch the game with Boston Celtics teammate Derrick White.
White, a proud alumnus of Colorado, invited Brown and apparently took part in the full college experience. They also met up with Celtics legends Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett.
"Who would have thought? Boulder, Colorado. Went to the game, it was a 10 a.m. game. I'm with D-White. D-White invites me out so we met up on campus. D-White, he's drunk at 10 a.m. in the morning," Brown said at the Auerbach Center on Monday, reflecting on the experience while speaking with reporters during Celtics media day.
"I'm with D-White so I'm like, do as the Romans do, right? Me and D-White had a great time."

White didn't go into detail about Brown's comments, but did add with a smirk: "The vibes were high."
Brown complimented Sanders for the job he's done transforming the Colorado football program. Brown revealed how he extended an invite to Sanders to attend a Celtics game at some point this season, as well.
"What he's done with that program is amazing," Brown said. "Because I've been to Boulder before that, and it didn't look like how it looked when I was there."
