Jaylen Brown silences doubters with an evolutionary season that he capped with the Eastern Conference and NBA Finals MVP awards and by helping lead the Celtics to Banner 18.
Jaylen Brown responded to an All-NBA campaign, committing a career-high eight turnovers in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals as he admirably tried to compensate for Jayson Tatum's ankle injury, but instead endured perhaps the lowest moment of his career, and signing a record-setting veteran supermax extension by delivering the best season of his eight in the Association.
Brown generated 20.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.6 steals, and nearly a block per game in the NBA Finals. He finished the Celtics'"I can't even put into words the emotions," said the Marietta, Georgia native about winning the Bill Russell Award. "I'm blessed and I'm grateful. This was a full team effort. We had a great team. My teammates were great. They allowed me to lead us on both ends of ball, and we just came out and performed on our home floor.
Brown, who has had to deal with skeptics, trade rumors, and people telling him what he can't be throughout his career, expressed regarding the vindication he feels reaching the NBA mountain top with Eastern Conference and NBA Finals MVP awards in hand, "If you would have asked me that maybe a year ago, I would probably say yeah. But at the point I got to right now -- it feels great. But any of the personal awards, it is what it is.
When asked to encapsulate his journey, it understandably took Brown a moment to channel his emotions into thoughts on what he just accomplished.Jaylen Brown discusses his career journey and the ups and downs along the way to him becoming an NBA champion."I can't. I can't. I absolutely can't, man. Just the story and the journey is awesome. Being drafted here in Boston, like a lot of the people probably didn't watch me play in the Pac-12 at Cal.
