Why Giannis Antetokounmpo named Celtics’ Jaylen Brown as NBA’s best player

Jaylen Brown has established himself as one of the top stars in the NBA over the last few years.

But even with three All-Star nods, a 2024 Eastern Conference Finals MVP, a 2024 NBA Finals MVP, and a championship all etched on his resume, Brown has been omitted from some of basketball’s top individual accolades.

Despite posting one of his best seasons in 2023-24 with Boston, Brown did not land a spot on any of the three All-NBA teams, with the wing particularly irked by not getting named to any All-Defensive Teams as well.
