Watch: Celtics’ Jaylen Brown posterizes Bulls’ Jalen Smith

Jaylen Brown showed no mercy to a fellow Jalen with his latest dunk.

Brown, the NBA’s runner-up in the 2023-24 Slam Dunk Contest, reminded everybody how unforgiving he can be at the rim on Friday night.

The Celtics’ star was undefended the entire way to the basket with less than nine minutes remaining in the fourth quarter against the Bulls. Nobody on the floor for Chicago touched Brown until it was too late, when he jumped up from the middle of the paint and posterized the Bulls’ Jalen Smith, hand on his opponent’s chest and all, with 8:43 left in regulation.
