The Boston Celtics will soon play in their second NBA Finals in three seasons. But before they start even thinking about competing for a championship, it’s worth revisiting Jaylen Brown’s terrific performance in an Eastern Conference Finals sweep of the Indiana Pacers.
The small forward was named MVP of the series for averaging 29.8 points, five rebounds, three assists, and two steals per game while also shooting 51.7 percent from the field.
When asked about his immediate reaction to winning East Finals MVP, Brown was rather frank. He couldn’t believe he actually won it because he simply, well, never wins “[expletive].”

“I wasn’t expecting it at all. I never win s—t.” 😂

Brown might be referring to his snub from this year’s All-NBA teams. Because even while he said he didn’t care, it clearly motivated his recent performance in the third round of the playoffs.
Well, Brown can add this series MVP to his personal trophy case for all his troubles.
