They’re both talented players, but can they win together?
They contend every year, but can they get over the hump?
They get along, but are they actually friends?
These questions appeared on loop over the past seven years. Some of it was just fodder from folks who had no idea, while some of it was truly unknown.
Last season, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown answered all those questions with a resounding and triumphant, Mike Gorman-level “YES!” Together, they fueled the Celtics to their first championship since 2008. Together, they silenced the doubters. Together, they delivered on the promise they made to themselves.
