Right before Game 5 of the Celtics’ first-round series against the Hawks, Malcolm Brogdon stood at TD Garden’s center court and smiled.
The Celtics presented the newly minted NBA Sixth Man of the Year with his trophy Tuesday night in front of the fans.
The NBA named the Sixth Man of the Year trophy after John Havlicek earlier this season. Havlicek was a 13-time NBA All-Star and 1974 NBA Finals MVP, playing his entire career with the Celtics.
