PHILADELPHIA -- All good things must come to an end. Jaylen Brown spent 10 fantastic and successful seasons with the Boston Celtics averaging 20.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 2.9 ******* ists after the Celtics third overall in 2016.
Brown, alongside 2017 No. 3 overall pick Jayson Tatum, led Boston to a championship in 2024 as they defeated the Dallas Mavericks 4-1. In the end, finals MVP ended up going to Brown as he was able to do just enough to come up with the honors after such a terrific series.
After Brown was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers, there have been questions regarding their relationship. Maybe Brown was tired of being in Tatum's shadow. Maybe Tatum felt slighted about Brown winning final MVP. Maybe there was some jealousy between the two of them. ******* ody truly knows, but the 5-time All-Star was asked about his relationship with Tatum on Thursday as he was introduced to the Philadelphia media.
"We won a championship together," said Brown regarding Tatum. "So, anybody that you win a championship, you'd think like that's what a brotherhood or a lifelong legacy would entail. Obviously, there's ups and downs in any type of relationship for sure, but on my end, it's nothing but respect. Obviously, except when he plays the Sixers, I hope he does well. Other than that, everything for me is just based in respect."
When asked if he and Tatum have talked, Brown responded with: "Not really."
