According to TMZ, Donda Sports targeted Brown for "his intelligence, social activism, and charitable work as well as his success on the court".

Previously, NFL superstar defensive tackle Aaron Donald signed with the agency on Monday.

Brown is the first NBA player to sign with the agency. It is reported that the deal was actually officialized back in March when West attended a Warriors vs. Celtics game.

TMZ reports Kanye, who has legally changed his name to Ye, thinks Brown is underappreciated and would like to bring him to superhero status.

Jaylen Brown has been one of the most important players for the Celtics during this year's playoffs averaging 22.9 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 3.5 assists. Game 1 of the NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and the Boston Celtics is scheduled for Thursday night in Chase Center, San Francisco.
