Brown was named Finals MVP after the Celtics' Game 5 victory on Monday.
Brown, who averaged 20.8 points, 5.4 rebounds and five assists per game in the Finals, was humble as ever as he collected his MVP trophy after the game. He made sure to give fellow Celtics star Jayson Tatum his flowers, too, in his ensuing acceptance speech.
“It was a full team effort,” Brown said. “I share this with my brothers. My partner-in-crime, Jayson Tatum, he was with me the whole way. We share this s--t together.”This past year was truly a memorable one for Brown, who also earned his third All-Star nod, won Eastern Conference Finals MVP and clinched his first NBA title. Last July, Brown signed a $304 million supermax contract through the 2028-29 season.
Though Brown may have received the tournament’s highest individual honor, Tatum finished his NBA Finals run on a high note as well. In Game 5, Tatum became the first Celtics player to record 20 points, 10 assists and five rebounds in a Finals game since Larry Bird in 1986. He is also the first Celtic ever with at least 30 points and 10 assists in an NBA Finals game.Kristen Wong is a Staff Writer on the Breaking & Trending News Team at Sports Illustrated.
