Why Gary Washburn picked Celtics’ Jayson Tatum over Jaylen Brown for 2024 NBA Finals MVP

The vote was actually a close one, with Brown beating out Tatum by the thinnest of margins.

By and large, fans of the Boston Celtics seemed as fine with star Celtics forward Jaylen Brown winning the 2024 NBA Finals Most Valuable Player award over his costar on the wing, Jayson Tatum. But the vote was actually a close one, with Brown beating out Tatum by the thinnest of margins.

To talk it over, the hosts of the CLNS Media “The Big Three NBA” podcast, A. Sherrod Blakely, Gary Washburn, and Kwani Lunis, took a closer look at Washburn’s reasons for voting Tatum — and why he is fine with Brown getting the nod. They also touch on the Celtics’ impressive Game 5 that resulted in their season ending with Banner 18, and a sneak peek ahead to what’s next for the Celtics.

Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say.

Jayson Tatum reacting to Jaylen Brown winning 2024 NBA Finals MVP with the Boston Celtics

There has been far too much ink spilled over the years over whether star Celtics forwards Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum like each other.

There has been far too much ink spilled over the years over whether star Boston Celtics forwards Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum like each other over the years as the media and opposing fan bases search for strings to pull in search of clicks and schadenfreude.

But when it came time to hand Brown the NBA’s 2024 Finals Most Valuable Player award, it was all smiles on the part of Tatum and Brown both (and everyone around them as well, for that matter). That old battleaxe of a narrative will need to be retired, or at least remade after this historic moment. And many more as well, the privilege that comes with winning an NBA title.

Our friends over at the “Celtics All Access on CLNS” official YouTube channel were there to document it all for posterity; check it out for yourself below!
