Jaylen Brown on All-NBA: “This is the second-best team in the league. I’ve played nothing but winning basketball, helped lead my team, I’m efficient and top 10 in scoring. I think I more than meet the criteria. We’ve dominated for most of the season. I’ve been available. What more do people want?”

Correct. He deserves all nba and that money that comes with it
[removed]
Anyone that has watched the Celtics play knows he should be a lock. He deserves All-NBA this year he’s been outstanding. Idk if it’ll be 1st team due to how many great forwards are at the top of the east but there’s no reason he should be left off.
>I’m efficient . . . What more do people want?”
It would probably help if he were more efficient. He had a league average TS% this year.
It’s not that controversial that he deserves an all-NBA spot. Dude is a beast in transition and has turned into one of the best half court scorers. Strong rebounder, solid playmaker. Off-ball defense issues are overblown I’d say he’s a plus on defense overall.
It blows how much money is on the line for him
For you to be better than all but 5 forwards or fewer, literally nothing matters besides that.
He might make it. But “I’ve been available.” What’s the point of saying that? It’s like saying “LeBron and Durant are better than me at everything else, except not getting hurt.” Pretty lame statement.
Absolutely should be All-NBA. Early results from the vote tracker are promising, let’s see if that continues.
15 spots
Giannis, Jokic, Embiid, Shai, Fox, Sabonis, Tatum, Mitchell, Luka, Curry
Those 10 are locks.
Lebron or AD will get in (possibly both) — that’s 11
Durant, Lillard, Butler, Lauri — let’s say 2 of those 4 get in, we’re at 13
Then you’re left with guys like Morant, Trae Young, Jrue, Booker and Brown fighting for those last 2ish spots.
I think Brown has a solid case but he’s not a shoo-in IMO.
Also he’s 13th in scoring, not top 10

he might get screwed because some people will vote for him at guard and some at forward.
>What more do people want?
less antisemitism
They want you join other teams to play a bigger role
But are you still the same animal and a different beast?
Based on early voting he’s more likely to make 2nd team than he is to miss.
Guy’s acting like you just need to check off some items on a list and then you make all-nba. No, you need to be better than the other all-nba candidates. And you’re not.
I mean. The fifth best team in the NBA won’t even have a single all NBA player so it’s not like wins mean all NBA automatically.
Heck last year the best team in the East didn’t even have an all NBA player.
Does this imply the first best team in the league should also have 2 all NBA players?
as soon as you start to beg and plead, i’m outta here. I understand that a lot of money is at stake, and that sucks, but come on, have some pride and dignity. truth is all these mfers are rich beyond belief compared to an average joe, who work as hard in their chosen professions. have some perspective please
He’s close to a lock. I haven’t seen or heard a voter’s ballot yet that doesn’t have him (JJ even voted him on 2nd team). I can’t argue with him campaigning for himself given the circumstances (especially when he’s answering questions).
He deserves it for sure dude is an awesome player
NBA needs to take awards out of how contacts are valued. You get guys having to obsess over it and look pathetic in the media.
He’ll make plenty either way lmao dudes really in here upset about people making 100 million dollars 😂
Some of the justifications for leaving him off have been putrid. There’s a lot of legacy and NY/LA media bias that is going to wind up screwing him. I mean KOC put TWO KNICKS on All-NBA; it’s pathetic.
don’t care
I want marcus smart to stop flopping and never win DPOY again, and his DPOY should be given to Rudy for thay year, and then, and only then, does Jaylen deserve all NBA
It hurts him that he’s not the consensus best player on his team, even if he would be the best player on like 20 other teams.
Austin reaves is a no brainer all nba team with the same stats.
Two reasons he will leave if he doesn’t get it
1) Less financial incentive
2) Will make him feel like he is playing too much in Tatum’s shadow and will test his talent elsewhere as a leader
I wish I cared. Kyrie’s lil bro’s pockets don’t matter to me. Why should I care how much money this dude makes?
HE IS 100% WORTH IT #BLEED GREEN
Take it up with the next CBA. Isn’t he a VP of the players association that agrees to these terms? What am I missing here? What a whiner
“I want to be eligible for the supermax”
This man is as good as Tatum and yet he get half the recognition
Ask PatBev. He knows.
Sorry Jaylen. We’re just not that into you.
This is Tatums team Jaylen. Either be Robin or leave.
