If widespread narratives are meant to be confronted by facts, then Jaylen Brown is perhaps the most accomplished ill-fitting No. 2 in NBA history. It's long been said that he doesn't adequately complement All-NBA First Team mainstay Jayson Tatum, with a Finals MVP, a championship, and four All-Star nods seemingly doing nothing to sway public opinion.

With Tatum set to miss a significant period of time after rupturing his right Achilles tendon in May, Brown can turn the narrative on its head by securing a likely accolade: All-NBA honors.
