Jaylen Brown didn’t mince words on Monday night when asked about his new hardware.
“I wasn’t expecting that at all. I don’t ever win [expletive],” Brown said after taking home the Larry Bird Trophy as MVP of the Eastern Conference Finals. “So, I was just happy that we won.”
Brown won the voting for the trophy by a slim 5-4 margin over his teammate Jayson Tatum, but he left his fingerprints all over Boston’s four-game sweep against the Pacers.
Over those four games, the 27-year-old wing averaged 29.8 points to go with five rebounds, three assists, and two steals per game.
