After failing to land an invite to designer Virgil Abloh's Louis Vuitton show last year, Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown hatched a plan to get inside.

Brown shared the story on a recent episode of the "All the Smoke" podcast with former NBA players Stephen Jackson and Matt Barnes, saying he gave instructions to his whole entourage.

"So, I have photographers with me and I have videographers and managers with me and stuff like that. So, I had a little group of people with me," Brown said. "So, I said, 'This is what we're going to do.' I said, 'We're going to get in the car. We're going to pull up real fast, come to a stop real quick. Everybody jump out.'"

"I thought the whole thing out," he added. "So, I told my manager, I told her, I was like, 'When they say they can't find my name on the list, I need you to go crazy.' I didn't even think she was going to be ready for it. I'm surprised, (she's) a little small."

The plan worked, and Brown made it inside the show.

"I end up sitting right next to Kanye (West) and Travis (Scott)," he said. "It's crazy, right? I ended up meeting Diddy's sons in there, just seeing them and say, 'Hey, what up?' and just walked in with them from the jump and just finessed my whole way in."

Brown has started dabbling in fashion designing, so it may not be long before he hosts a runway show of his own.
