Jason Kidd caused a stir at the end of his press conference on Saturday by saying that Jaylen Brown was the Celtics’ best player.
Kidd was asked about what makes Brown tough to go against, and his response was unexpected.
“Well, Jaylen is their best player,” Kidd said. “Just looking at what he does defensively, he picked up Luka full court. He got to the free throw line. He did everything, and that’s what your best player does.”
“Just understanding he plays both sides, defense and offense, at a high rate. And he’s been doing that the whole playoffs.
