Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown make history with Celtics’ NBA Finals berth
Jayson Tatum embraced Jaylen Brown after they won the Eastern Conference finals.It was only a few months ago that calls to break up Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown were at their loudest as the Celtics were hovering around .500.
Now, the Celtics’ young star duo has accomplished something very few have ever done. Tatum and Brown became the fourth duo of players 25-and-under who led their team in scoring to reach the NBA Finals in the last 40 years, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
