The Boston Celtics have been a well-oiled machine for the last decade. This is Jaylen Brown'sĀ 10th season with the Celtics, and he's made the playoffs every year.
While Brown's development into a superstar has played a large role in Boston's success, he's also had plenty of help from teammate and fellow superstar Jayson Tatum, who debuted the year after him.
They've had a remarkable run together, leading the Celtics to nine straight postseason appearances, five Eastern Conference Finals, two NBA Finals and a championship.
There haven't been many duos in the league who've enjoyed that level of sustained success, which Brown discussed with reporters on Wednesday.
"I think itās been a historic sort of run. We were able to deliver a championship in 2024," Brown said via WEEI's Justin Turpin. "Unfortunately, we had opportunities in the past that got away from us, but weāve been right there for a long amount of time. Gained a lot of experience, I personally have gained a lot of experience."
To Brown's point, he already has a whoppingĀ 135 postseason games under his belt and counting.
"Itās been a pleasure. Everything isnāt always perfect, but itās not supposed to be. Thatās part of the journey. Iām grateful to be where I am and Iām grateful to be here. Iām excited to go have another opportunity," Brown continued.
Coming off the best season of his career that will likely earn him MVP votes for the first time, Brown believes he's still getting better.
"I feel like Iām still getting better. For some, that may be hard to believe. But Iām still improving, Iām still getting better. Iām still learning, Iām still growing," Brown added. "I feel like Iām entering my prime and Iām excited to maximize my potential and take advantage of every opportunity I have to win."
Boston's favored to win the East this spring, so this is a great opportunity for Brown to try to win his second ring in three years.
