Years of being the teams “Robin”, constant debates on if he was even a top 2 Celtic, being clowned after game 7 against Miami, being called overpaid, being overlooked by the whole NBA (even his own teams fanbase), and now being the finals MVP. However much credit he’s being given, he deserves MORE.
Our energy shifter. Everybody say THANK YOU JAYLEN
Winning the MVP must be particularly nice since you actually get to take that SOB home with you.
Though if I had $300 million I’d probably just get a replica made of the Larry O’Brien trophy too

Jaylen Brown, NBA Champion, Finals MVP has been considered by the entirety of the NBA.

JB really ran the gamut, but I’m still mad about him not being on Team USA and not being All-NBA.

I love this first picture of JB. So badass and timeless.
I think the best story, among a lot of great stories, was his ascension during the playoffs. I always have loved JB, and he’s improved year in and year out. But I never expected him to rise so high and so fast as he did in these playoffs. Go Celtics!!!!!!

JB is now 1B.

JB a Finals MVP and a NBA champion not bad for someone who can’t dribble with his left hand

He’s become Nightwing.

I mean, tbh, there is still a clear hierarchy on the team, but Jaylen came up big in the playoffs and proved why he is a true two-way star in this league.
Funny that the same media who voted Tatum All-NBA 1st team and left Jaylen off entirely is the same media that voted for Jaylen for FMVP and is now pushing the no Batman and Robin narrative.

I love JB was the one to smoke the cigar

We’ve got Bruce and Wayne, I’ll leave it to y’all to decide which is JT and which is JB.

Winning Finals MVP after signing that contract says a LOT about J.B.’s character. Countless players pack it in after getting paid. He stepped it up. Big time! Enjoy the well deserved break boys, and let’s come back and get another one!

Congrats JB! I assume that is his Dad behind him in the first photo? Same piercing eyes

One thing I’ll never doubt about JB is that he always brings the fire. I know that he will always be aggressive and will always be on the attack. During lulls in our offense, I know that he will always drive and take it strong to the hoop to score or make a play for his teammates.

What kinda dog rocket is he smoking?

Put him on Team USA, please

This is still the most surreal element of it all. I admit early on, the first 2 years I was one of those guys who wasn’t high on JB. I *did* think he’d be a good player, good enough to make a couple All-Star games or whatever, but genuine star status and FINALS MVP was absolutely not on my bingo card. This guy is completely unbelievable

Last summer people on here were saying Jamal Murray is inarguably the better player. So proud of what JB has done all season

He turnt UP in the playoffs. Dude was locked TF in

The media is like social media, it’s just not real life. You can’t take what they say as any kind of reality because they’re just saying things to get engagement. JB has never been the Robin.

Let’s not forget ECF MVP as well. More like playoffs MVP for us. After last year when he couldn’t be the man with Tatum injured in game 7 he said fuck everybody I’m gonna show them I can carry this team. Next year everybody gonna be focused on him and Tatum gonna ball out.

Does anyone have the link to a montage of JB and JT playing together from JT’s rookie season on? I saw it on twitter but now can’t find it (I’m sure there is more than one so any would do). It was great to see them literally growing up together.

More than any player I’ve seen he put the work in during the off season and became a great dribbler and added a solid mid range.

Jaylen Brown is one of the most underrated and most under-appreciated players in the league. People saying he has no left hand, needs to be traded, is not a good playmaker, is the 4th best player on the team etc. Where are they now? Jaylen Brown is the NBA Finals MVP.

Always loved JB. Glad he got recognized.

Never eaten so much crow and never been so happy to do it. I thought that contract was a massive overpay for a great-but-not-supermax-great player. A year later it’s looking like a bargain.
I hope JB knows he is being considered by the whole basketball world right now.
