JB improves noticably every year for 10 years. He's been to 6 ECF, 2 Finals, and has a ring, the man just plays winning basketball. It comes from working harder than almost everyone on and off the court, and on both ends of the court. Playing with JT certainly helps too. I can't say JB should be MVP with the seasons some of his peers are having, but I think only SGA and Joker are more important to their teams success this season. Luka has been making a case lately though, same with Wemby. The odds are very low JB wins MVP, but if he isn't 1st team ALL-NBA it will be a total failure by the voters. SGA, JB, Luka, Wemby, Joker.. those are the 5 All-NBA 1st teamers. Nobody else has a case for it. And Among those 5, JB, SGA, and Wemby are the true 2 way players. Luka aint a good defender, and Joker isnt all that impactful on defense either.
This win was personal for us Celtics fans lol wym
Look if JB manage to grab a league MVP for JT, JT gotta request a trade. 🤣
Brown is the real deal and so are the Celtics. They have a good chance of getting to the ECF.
1:45 orrr, he’s complaining about being fouled and not getting calls .
I promise you, Jaylen Brown isn’t thinking about SGA unless he’s across from him on the other side of the court
Jaylen Brown should be the MVP and first team ALL Defense. The League is trying to defame him because of his strong opinions. Don't do that NBA, Jaylen Brown is your MVP
FBA 🇺🇸✊🏽 Jaylen Brown
Theres a difference between acknowledgement/giving them their flowers and campaigning/advocating for them. This is the respect Jb is looking for. To be looked upon as a top 5 player. To hage the same respect as a jokic or SGA. To not be left off the goddamned all-defense 2nd team again.
Jaylen Brown is a straight dog! Nobody guarding him.
6:25 so bros just admitting it now lol
Okc still going back to back, JB is a straight cornball on and off the court 😂😅
When windy was trying to say Jaylon Brown gets some recognition I laughed because the year the celtics won the chip, Jaylon was COMPLETELY snubbed from ALL 3 of the all team NBA votes.
LeBron said it already about Jaylen Brown….bron said he should be talked about
I like how SA called on windy on his BS, what does he mean JB "thought he deserved to be on the USA team" we all know he should have been including you Wiindy, dont play us for fools, this is why people will never feel like media is authentic enough, always trying to save face for the people who hire them, SMH!
Jaylen brown may be the most underrated player in NBA history
JB is the MVP. It's between him and Wemby. Both 2 way players and highly impactful
To call a push off a "move" is just disrespectful to the game of basketball.
SGA is allowed to do too much with that offensive foul.
Hope the league shuts that down in the playoffs.
No luka should win the Mvp look at the numbers hes been putting up
Great performance by the Celtics 🎉. And of course we'll overreact to a one off game where a team caught lightening in a bottle and put together an awesome win, in late March
SGA is definitely not the most valuable player. JB, Jokic, Luka are valuable to their respective teams and Wemby is precious to the league.
What is windy talking about? JB earned those acomplishments, it's not like the media just gave em to him. He wasn't called to the olympics after he just won the finals mvp and he was also left out of a all nba team that he deserved, where was the media then…
Bird getting it done in the most ruthless era, love seeing he’s still on top of the list 🍀
Thank you Stephen A 👏🏾
Jaylen Brown is MVP, no "if", "buts", or "maybe"………..IMO 😐!!
I love what Jay Wills is talking
Wow for the first time stephen A speaking facts. SHAI, WEMBY, THEY HAVE A SQUAD THE WHOLE SEASON! HOW THEY MVP? Jaylen brought a tram that was supposed to tank! They lost 4 of their starters and he still carried them to 2nd in the east where the knicks was supposed to win.
Brown is the MVP
Yes, they have the tools to defeat anybody and win the ring, problems is very much frequently against physical teams, they somehow forget to bring their tools to the court.
As impressive as the Celtics victory against OKC, was Atlanta win against Detroit, and coincidentally or not, the winning teams from yesterday meet tomorrow.. in Boston.
This is a going to be a good test for the Celtics endurance and toughness, to face a hot Atlanta team, sitting today as 5th seed (when barely a month ago they were borderline 10th place) and that has won like 14 games out of their last 15.
I aint forget…1 point in time brown was in trade talks🤣🤣🤣
Leaving out the shooting percentages is typical ESPN lmao JB didn’t out play Shai. Dude shot over 80% while being guarded by JB while JB shot under 50% 😂
SGA had 33 points JBrown had 31 points get it right windy.
JB has established himself as option 1A, beyond the Celtics' roster. He also stands for players' rights and credit. He's a leader.
Been saying for years he was the engine. JB deserves all the praise
Crazy to praise JB for getting FTs but bash Shai in the same video lol the okc hate has these talking heads ignoring stats just for the narrative 😂
Shai got exposed last night
SGA continues to get exposed by his competition. Soul snatched by Wemby. 4-1.
Don't trip, just a question that needs an answer… could Tatum have this success if Brown was the one who was out… just a question
And the scary part is JT not even back in full form we back baby
Boston's 2nd chance points this season is impressive.
