Patrick Sammon, Michael Andrew Find GoPro Belonging to NBA Player Jaylen Brown in Ocean<\/strong><\/p>\n

When swimmers Patrick Sammon<\/strong> and Michael Andrew<\/strong> retrieved a lost GoPro from the ocean in Hawaii, they hoped that posting the footage to social media might reconnect it with its original owner.<\/p>\n

They didn\u2019t expect quite so many people would instantly identify whose it was.<\/p>\n

The video of the surfer on the footage happened to be Jaylen Brown<\/strong>, the former Boston Celtics star and 2024 NBA Finals MVP who was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers this summer. It didn\u2019t take long for Brown himself, a chronically online poster and Twitch streamer, to find his way into the comments.<\/p>\n

“As soon as we turned it on, we were like, ‘Oh, this guy looks super familiar,'” Sammon said in an interview that USA Swimming shared this week<\/a>. “This guy is, like, seven feet tall, and there’s a mic boom over his head, so you could see he has a full-on camera crew. And we’re like, ‘Alright, we’ve got to figure out who this guy is.'”<\/p>\n
