Jaylen Brown, Malcolm Brogdon, and Grant Williams met with members of the Justice Department and President Biden’s administration on Monday to discuss potential policy reforms.

Before facing the Wizards on Tuesday night, the three Celtics, who are also vice presidents of the NBA’s players association, met with government officials in Washington.

Brown met with reporters following Tuesday’s practice to discuss the meeting’s specifics.

One of the key issues covered by Brown was how NBA players, and professional athletes in general, might use their celebrity for good.

“We sat down and had a conversation about some of the things going on,” Brown said. “How to use our platform more, how to collaborate, just get more involved. I think that athletes have a tremendous platform, regardless of if people want us to use it or not.”

The Celtics forward pointed out his teammate Brogdon as a great example of how an athlete can create positive change.

“Malcolm is my brother, on the court and off,” Brown said. “A lot of the things he stands for I appreciate but also I have a tremendous amount of respect for. What he’s doing in Africa with his foundation with the clean water, he just spoke at the United Nations last week. He’s just a model of how athletes can have an impact, have an incredible amount of influence and responsibility in their community and how people should want us to do more with it than come out and play a game with a ticket price and then go home.”

While Brown was unsure whether he could reveal who the players met with on Monday, he was able to recapitulate the topics that were discussed.

The “raise the age” law was one of the subjects that came up. The age at which a person can be tried as a “adult” for a crime varies by state. Brown stated that one of his and his teammates’ aims is to raise that age in nearby states such as Georgia, Wisconsin, and Massachusetts.

Another topic covered by the panel was reintegration programs for previously jailed people.

“Once you commit a crime its almost like when you try to reintegrate back into society, your only choice is to go back in,” Brown said. “I think there should be different options.”

Later in his press conference, Brown emphasized the necessity of athletes realizing their platform. He emphasized that athletes do not have to only engage with policymakers to effect change; they can also collaborate with their peers.

“One of our roles as the vice presidents of the players association is to pull our counterparts in and make it more comfortable for everyone,” Brown said. “We still want to get more people involved, more players involved, more athletes involved to use their platform because I think we’re stronger together.”
