Earlier this summer, Jaylen Brown signed the most lucrative contract in NBA history -- for now at least -- a five-year deal worth a projected $304 million that could increase in value depending on where next season's league salary cap settles.

Saturday, Brown will suit up for the BIG3 All-Star Game at the O2 Arena in London, UK. The All-NBA Second Team wing will do so to support the local charity, London Youth, which aims to aid and improve the lives of London's youth through its network of community organizations.

Furthermore, the BIG3 will match Brown's donation to the organization to further bring awareness to the global causes he supports.

Former Celtics Joe Johnson, Gerald Green, Leandro Barbosa, and Jordan Crawford will also participate in the game.

Giving back to the community is at the heart of Brown's identity, a topic he discussed while sharing his revolutionary plans for the off-court impact he wants to make.

In a testament to the above, the two-time All-Star's comments came at the press conference where he signed his record-setting veteran supermax extension, which took place at MIT, home to the Bridge Program, developed by Brown's 7uice Foundation, which works with the Community Biotechnology Initiative at the MIT Media Lab to provide science and technology opportunities for children in Boston's underserved communities.
