'I failed': Jaylen Brown has far different response than Giannis Antetokounmpo after losing series to Miami Heat

The postgame debate on basketball disasters continued Monday night as "failure" and "fail" remained buzzwords after favored Eastern Conference teams lost in the NBA playoffs.

It's been almost a month since the Milwaukee Bucks were eliminated from the playoffs and Giannis Antetokounmpo caused much of the sports media world to pause and think about his thoughtful, philosophical and empathetic response to a reporter's question about why or why not the Bucks' season was a failure.

“Every year you work, you work toward something, toward a goal — to get a promotion, to take care of your family, I don’t know, provide a house for them, take care of your parents. You work toward a goal. It’s not failure. It’s steps to success.”

If anyone needs a review of Giannis' positive and refreshing "there is no failure in sports" reaction, the complete answer is below:

But based on his postgame comments, Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown doesn't quite share Antetokounmpo's glass-half-full logic.

After the ugly Game 7 loss Monday night to the same Miami Heat team that sent the Bucks packing, Brown didn't mince words.

"I failed, we failed. We let the whole city down."

Brown led the Celtics with 19 points but was just 8-for-23 from the floor and committed eight turnovers.

While saying later that "all in all, it was a great year" for the Celtics, he certainly took a different approach than Giannis about the team dropping the ball.

"I expected to win today, move on," Brown said. "That's what my focus was on. That's what my focus has been on. We failed. I failed. And it's hard to think about anything else right now."
