"ESSENCE," the authoritative magazine on African American culture, selected Jaylen Brown as this year's Sexiest Men Of Moment.

"ESSENCE" wrote: "By most standards, Jaylen Brown has the package: tall, dark, handsome, and has an extremely attractive presence on and off the court. But when asked if he considered himself sexy, he paused and seemed confused and answered, 'What does that mean? I've never really thought about it.'"

"And this is what makes him special. Although he won the 2024 NBA Finals FMVP, became one of the brightest rising stars in the league, but Brown remains down-to-earth and humble. When talking about the relationships that shape how he loves and leads, he points to his faith. 'My physical and mental alignment and rhythm are in sync with nature. '"

"ESSENCE" also stated that Brown invests in underrepresented entrepreneurs to help bridge the wealth gap. His Bridge Program connects children from disadvantaged communities with MIT experts to teach AI and financial literacy, giving them the tools to shape their future.
