LeBron James reacts angrily to Jaylen Brown’s East Finals MVP victory
It’s fitting that Boston Celtics have won two Larry Bird trophies thus far. Jayson Tatum won the award two years prior following a difficult NBA Playoffs matchup against the Miami Heat. Now that they had swept the Indiana Pacers, Jaylen Brown was the star. The teammates engaged in a two-man race, with the elder Jay ultimately emerging victorious. Legends like LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers were taken aback by this nod.
Throughout the previous two NBA Playoff seasons, the Celtics were frequently viewed as Jayson Tatum’s squad. Since entering the league during the 2017 NBA Draft, he has received All-Star and All-NBA nominations. However, Jaylen Brown has been a member of this team since Isaiah Thomas, Marcus Morris, and Jeff Green were active players. He gained a lot of experience from this postseason pedigree, preventing him from collapsing in the spotlight.
LeBron James was impressed after the older member of the iconic Celtics duo was the one who hoisted the Larry Bird Eastern Conference Finals Most Valuable Player trophy.
