After the Boston Celtics defeated the Indiana Pacers in three games, Jaylen Brown was just voted the MVP of the Eastern Conference Finals. This led a number of players, including LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers, to congratulate the All-Star on his achievement.
Everyone last season made fun of the Celtics for falling short against the Miami Heat, who had advanced to the postseason through the Play-In Tournament. Due to this, Boston’s front staff decided to restructure the team, which resulted in the signing of big player Kristaps Porzingis and seasoned guard Jrue Holiday.
The Celtics, who had a completely redesigned roster, emerged victorious, finishing first in the Eastern Conference and with the best record in the league. In addition, Boston’s swift elimination of the Heat, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Indiana Pacers set the way for the NBA Finals.
Brown, on the other hand, has shown to be crucial to Boston’s current postseason success this year. The two-time All-Star forward averaged 25.0 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 1.1 steals per game over the course of 14 postseason games. In addition, he made 54% of his field goals, 36% of his 3-pointers, and 63% of his free throws from the free throw line.
LeBron James Sends Amazing Message to Boston Celtics’ Jaylen Brown Following His East Finals MVP Victory
After Boston was eliminated by Stephen Curry’s Golden State Warriors in 2002, Brown helped the team back to the Finals thanks to his outstanding postseason performance this year. LeBron James of the Lakers congratulated him on his official X account after he was voted the Eastern Conference Finals MVP by the NBA at the same moment.
In addition to earning East MVP and making it to the Finals, Brown will also receive a bonus of about $369,000 for making it to the championship round. The Dallas Mavericks led by Luka Doncic and the Minnesota Timberwolves led by Anthony Edwards are playing in the Western Conference Finals, and the Celtics are waiting to see who wins.
Whether Brown performs at the same caliber in the NBA Finals is still to be seen. But if Boston hopes to win the title this year, they will undoubtedly need him to accomplish so.
