Regardless of whether he takes home the hardware, Jaylen Brown is having an MVP-caliber season. The Boston Celtics star is thriving with more responsibility on offense. While he has spent his career proving he's willing to sacrifice for the sake of winning, this is an opportunity he has long desired. Who wouldn't want the chance to showcase their full potential?
It should come as no surprise that he's maximizing this chance. Brown consistently returns better at the start of the new season than when the previous campaign ended.
This year, he's averaging 29.7 points on 50.
