Last offseason was a dream for Jaylen Brown.
A Finals (and Conference Finals) MVP, Brown silenced concerns that he and Jayson Tatum could together be the faces of a Banner 18 run. Then, aside from an outspoken clash with Nike and USA Basketball managing director Grant Hill, the good news kept on rolling.
Brown debuted his own signature shoe brand, collaborated with A$AP Ferg to drop a song called “Just Do It,” and started the foundation Boston XChange.
Expectations were high coming into this season, both for JB individually and for the team’s quest to break the 6-year drought of having a repeat champion.
