BOSTON — Jaylen Brown secured a remarkable season for the Celtics with a stellar performance, clinching the NBA Championship and adding more postseason accolades to his resume.

Brown’s 21-point contribution, coupled with eight rebounds and six assists, fueled Boston to a 106-88 victory, ultimately sealing their championship victory. His defensive prowess was evident throughout the game, further solidifying his MVP honor. Although elated with the recognition, Brown generously acknowledged his teammates, particularly highlighting his partner in crime, Jayson Tatum.

Expressing gratitude for every moment and opportunity, Brown’s sentiments resonated with fans and supporters following his stellar performance.

Brown’s Finals performance was nothing short of spectacular, averaging 20.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 5.0 assists per game, showcasing his versatility and impact on the court.
