After winning the NBA championship at TD Garden, the Bill Russell MVP trophy was awarded to Jaylen Brown. Brown averaged 20.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 5 assists in the Finals to help lead the Celtics to its first championship since exactly sixteen years ago.
This is Brown’s second individual trophy after he won the Larry Bird Eastern Conference MVP trophy after his amazing series against the Indiana Pacers.
