Jay, the NBA did not give Jaylen Brown his contract. The Celtics organization recognizes him and compensated him. The NBA definitely underates him. He should have been all defensive team as well. Btw Stephen A,. Jordan definitely felt he was better than any other basketball player.. You need that swag and attitude to excel in the NBA. In fact, Stephen A feels he is the best sports personality in the media. You want people to hold that against you?
Jaylen Brown deserved it more than Devin Booker this season. The Suns underachieved, in my opinion, during the regular season and really fell flat in the Playoffs.
JT does well - “should’ve had 50” JB does well - “is JB a #1 over Tatum?” Celtics win close- “should’ve won by more” Celtics win big- “no competition” Celtics in a close game but win big at the end- “should’ve never let it be competitive in the first place” --------> Goalpost

Don’t forget to mention that the best defensive player on the opposing team guards Tatum, that’s not nothing. Most teams only have one defensive specialist.
Never forget the start of the season when Jay Williams said “Giannis and Lillard are already better together after one game than Brown and Tatum after seven seasons” lmaoo
@@marckusduverger9776 they still had the best record by 7 games and were beating people by 11. Both Brown and Tatum went from averaging 30 and 27 last year to 27 and 23 this year was just sacrificing for the greater good but Brown got punished for that on the all nba selection despite have a better year.
It's not his "attitude " it's his intellect. He said it himself when it came to being drafted. Since he went to Berkeley, owners thought his intelligence would be a hindrance. If he played on a garbage team, his stats would skyrocket. He should have made all nba if you have kawhi Leonard on there.
Stephen A constantly undermines the Celtics by talking about their “supporting cast”. Why doesn’t he do that for any other team? It only applies to the Celtics? Why not just admit the Celtics are where they are in large part because of Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, and Al Horford too.
the contract talk is dumb af because he just benefited from being the FIRST player to sign an extension with these new terms and money. in the next 2 years he won’t even be top 15 highest paid
Yeah and people for some reason can never wrap their heads around that. Mike Conley was the highest paid player in 2016 and people were saying the same things.
People are intimidated by Jalen Brown’s intelligence, but the NBA source that Stephen A Smith was speaking of needed to code it as “not likable” because when dealing with sports, intelligence is not what makes you likable. I have never gotten the vibe that he thinks he’s better than anyone, in fact he’s truly excepted his role on the Celtics as the number two and has lived in Tatum’s shadow for over five years. I’m sorry, but that’s not someone who thinks he’s better than anyone else.
Brown showed up in the finals Tatum did not. Brown has been their best player this post season as well. Its a popularity contest and Tatum receives the benefit of the doubt all the time.
@@bigmo3692I agree with this point but I also agree that in that finals Jaylen brown definitely outplaying Jayson Tatum..if jaysom tatum would have just played tk his regular seasom averages that series would have went 7 ganws
@@bigmo3692 no one said Tatum NEVER did anything. I simply pointed out the times Brown showed up. It was to the point of the people/media putting Brown down as if he's just there for the ride.
Ima be honest I’m starting to think brown is better than Tatum but we always hit him with the “he don’t got no left hand” jokes but if you watch the games this year and now the post season brown has outperformed him, he’s truly underrated coming from a bucks fan
As a lifelong Celtic fan, I wouldn't say JB is better than JT. I wouldn't say JT was better than JB, either. They're a duo. I've always thought JB was a better scorer, with much more of an attack mindset than JT, while JT was a bit more skilled overall. But, they're really close, and on any given night either one can go off and be the reason you win.
I think Tatum has more raw talent but JB is more mentally strong and he understands the moment. But the point to me they compliment each other. At this point just win that's how all these narratives will be put to bed.
He may be underapreciated to the media and those who don't regularly follow basketball/NBA but he most certainly isn't in Boston. His contract speaks for itself, Celtics love both Tatum and Brown. That's why we hope/want them to get along, if Tatum has a bad night Brown can step up, if Brown has a bad night JT can step up. Not to mention players like Holiday, White and Porzingis thrown into the mix. This Celtics team is great as it is, JT does sometimes get more of the spotlight/good press from the media, but he also gets the blame for when we lose. I think the narrative is to try and create tension on the Celtics so as to split JB and JT up, not the first time they have tried to push this narrative. But every Celtic fans knows that is a horrendous idea. JB keep doing what you doing, we love you here in Boston. Forget the All NBA first team fans can pick and choose all they want, they aren't the ones playing on the court. Focus on winning the championship with yo brother JT and the rest of the Cs squad. We got something special here in beantown. #DifferentHere 🍀🍀🍀🍀
*SOURCE:* The NBA assistant general manager also said that Brown’s high level of intelligence and inquisitive nature could intimidate some general managers and coaches. He added that he is a good kid who “doesn’t fit the mold of a so-called basketball player.” “He is an extremely intelligent kid,” the NBA assistant general manager said. “He took a graduate school class at Cal in his freshman year. He is a person who is inquisitive about everything. Because he is so smart, it might be intimidating to some teams. He wants to know why you are doing something instead of just doing it. I don’t think it’s bad, but it’s a form of questioning authority. “It’s not malicious. He just wants to know what is going on. Old-school coaches don’t want guys that question stuff.” ~2016 article from Marc J. Spears, look it up.
Perkins has been saying for years that Celtics need to trade JB. Last year he said they should think about trading him for TRAE YOUNG. Now he gets up here and acts like he’s been praising JB for years. Dude is a clown
Perk when a player is underrated, they have to have a 40 to 50 point game to start to getting recognition. Jaylen Brown, Drew Holiday, and White, are the reason Jayson Tatum get such easy shots. Today's game evolve around the 3 point shot, and the power dunk. If Jaylen Brown start smiling into the camera, dunk more, raises his 3 point shooting percentage, and keep holding down his defensive prowess, he can not only become the face of the Boston Celtics, he can become the face of the entire league. Plus, he invokes his educational smarts, when he speak for all the players in the NBA.
Paolo is going thru what haylen brown is in terms of the general perception of their valuation, they perform consistently while getting no media coverage.
Stephen A’s source is someone who works for and represents the NBA. The same NBA that doesn’t like intelligent, outspoken, and sociopolitically in tune players. Of course they’ll say Jaylen Brown is not liked. The guy is liked amongst all his peers. Pay attention to the wording that was used, “it’s that he’s not liked because of his I am better than you attitude.” The NBA offices and execs have to deal with him because he’s the VP of the players association. They don’t like that he’s intelligent and can articulate well so they’re flipping it into arrogance because they can’t have their way with him. Textbook tactics, and I’ll leave it at that.
I’m not a Tatum hater I want to see him be the best player he has crazy skills but he need that heart like brown has even if brown has a bad game he still shoot and try to make it happen it’s times you can see the fear on Tatum face
Brown definitely deserved All-NBA over Haliburton, Sabonis, and Kawhi, he only averaged .7 less points than Kawhi and his team was the number 1 team in the East
The only reason why we don’t put brown in the upper tier of stars, is because he’s a 2nd option. If he had his own team and was doing this, it would be a different story.
@@juliothom2408 factssss but we seen them carry their own team before. So we have no problem saying that they’re better than brown and we can see why they made all nba. It’s hard to give someone all nba and they 2nd option with Tatum as the man. I love brown i think he shoulda made it over Booker and Jalen honestly or even kawhi just because injuries.
@@Sunnyte_ What those guysdid BEFORE shouldn't matter more than what they're doing NOW. BEFORE, JB was All NBA. He isn't NOW, despite him playing the best overall ball of his career, even if he's scoring a couple of points less because of the talent the team added. JB got penalized for being a Team Player, and that's wrong on so many levels.
The reason Boston media hates JB, and they do, is bc they dont like basketball, and bc Brown is a dark-skinned Black man who is invested in community work, outspoken about civil rights, and getting paid for his excellence. The national media is no better. Brown is soft-spoken, he doesnt get in trouble, his team loves him and responds to him, his coaches rave about him and his work ethic...but hold up, SAS got a text from someone.
Underrated means people and media underrate your abilities. You can be highest paid and still be underrated. For instance media didnt vote him to all nba teams
The 76ers could have drafted Jaylen Brown rather than Ben Simmons. The 76ers could have drafted Jayson Tatum instead of Markel Fultz. Imagine how good the 76ers could have been. As a Celtics fan, I am very happy that everything worked out as it did.
This is because Jayson Tatum is a spoiled brat that always gets practically 100% of the credit when the Celtics are successful. But it’s always Jaylen Brown’s fault when the team loses. But it’s never Tatum’s fault when the team loses.
@@keeganandersson4281 But when Luka loses he's free no criticism or anything but yet he wins all these awards every year and never is held accountable when his team loses ....They kill Tatum
I can make it make sense for you. It's your reasoning error -- as you're thinking someone called him "underpaid" and not "underrated" Pay isn't an opinion.
Celtics would never trade Tatum. If he wins the chip this year his numbers are way better than Giannis. So, nooo the Bucks can keep Giannis and being a 1st round exit. ✌🏽
Take LeBron off the 3rd team....put in Jaylen Brown.......these All-NBA team lists are now position-less, meaning theoretically, you can have 5 guards on a team, 5 centers on a team, etc....
The REAL issue is that the media AND fans decided to crown JT too early when Jaylen was right there. The 2019 allstar selection is the PRIME example, when Brown had the same stats and BETTER efficiency AND better defense, but no votes. This is before JT started habdling the ball a lot too, but the narrative was that the offense was running through him even though their usage was the same smh
Tatum averaged 23 in his first all star selections that year and Brown 20. 3ppg more is a significant amount more. Tatum also had one more rebound and assist per game as well that year and slightly more steals and blocks. So idk if that's as prime example as your making it out to be.
No he talking about at the time of the selections both were avg 20.6 ppg it was identical with jb having more defensive stats while JT had a slight increase in assist. But because the Celtics were out right the #1 team in the east with JT,jb and kemba they only invited JT and kemba. JT increased his avg to 23 ppg after the monster Feb where he avg almost 25 to 30 for a month straight@@jammer9941
Brown 2016 Tatum 2017 How many rings? 0 Jordan paired up with Pippen 4 years later start of the 3 peat. So to say either is elite is funny. But yet they talk about either one, like they should be in the jordan,lebum category. No winny this year trade them both.
Thats when they were drafted. Michael was in the league for a couple years and dominating before scottie came around. Also, not performing as well as MICHAEL JORDAN isn't really a knock on someone lol
Before JB got drafted, they said he was “too smart” for the NBA. It might be true. Buddy is articulate and speaks when necessary on necessary topics. He doesn’t ever really say nor do too much. It’s hard to dislike someone who doesn’t give you a real reason. With that said, he’s a $300M player as a #2 option. How is he underrated?
Crazy they say Brown doesn’t have to carry the same load as other guys but he’s been carrying a guy who’s supposedly better than him this entire postseason.
Tatum still has scored 5 more points this playoffs while also leading the Celtics in rebounds and assists its not like Brown has been overwhelmingly better....
@@jammer9941 5 more points? You’re joking right? I guess It would seem that way if your only basis is stats. You can literally watch the games and see it for yourself Brown has CLEARLY been the better player thus far.
I've been saying for 3 yrs, that it's a legit question on who's actually better between Tatum and Brown, especially when the "break them up" narrative was out there and everyone was picking Brown to be moved, and as for being the highest paid player, that's where the Max was at the time, he's a max player, there would be a lot 300 million dollar players in the league if that was where the max was at when all the big names were eligible for it, so that highest paid play argument is null, JB has been the best player on the court for the Celtics COUNTLESS times, including their last NBA Finals appearance and low-key this Playoff run, but it's rarely covered that way.
Part of it has got to be that Jaylen Brown isn’t liked by corporate elites because of what he stands for and he just got one of the most lucrative contracts in NBA history. A black man that speaks the truth, does work to rep and support his community and has a bag of bag$ is dangerous to them.
The highest contract stuff doesn't matter. It just means a star signs a supermax. That is literally it. When any other star signs a supermax, they will become the "highest contract ever". Jrue Holiday and Tingus Pingus are both making more than Brown THIS season.
Btw, Perk didn't vote for JB. He had Banchero on his 3rd team and Tyrese Maxey on Second Team. Stephen A. did have him on the 3rd team. Never pay attention to Perk, Celtics are embarrassed that he was one of them
Me personally I stay telling everyone he is the best player of the Boston Celtics, Jaylen Brown gets overlooked, and we all know why, and we just don’t want to say it. I said it last year, the year before and this year screaming it, cause this man is the best player, the most consistent, Celtics Player.
@8:07 it is because Brown openly doesn't like the city of Boston and the people there... He thinks they are racist and openly says so... Thus, they put him behind Tatum as Tatum is a company guy(no diss to him) I do think Brown is the better player between the 2
Tell'em Big Perk! The media been sleep'n on Jaylen bc they always wanted Jason to be the FACE of the Celtics. The optics if paying attention... proves Jaylen had to take a backseat to let Jason have the shine on purpose. I watched to many games where it appeared Jaylen would pass on a shot just so Tatum could have it.
Jaylen Brown plays *Put-Put Basketball* _Two steps, stop. Two steps, stop. Spin. Pump-Fake. Spin. Pump-Fake. Shoot_ . He has one of the least-aesthetic offensive games in the NBA (among all-stars). It's exhausting to watch. Everytime I watch the Celtics, I just want J-Brown to *take a big swing* (ie, quickly blow by the defender and elevate with grace). Instead, *he just puts around* the course/court, and hits his *par shot* . His defense is pretty exciting, though. So, I'll give him that.
"Jaylen Brown is not liked because of his 'im better than you attitude'."
But we have a 22 years old in Minnesota running his mouth about how he's the best player in the world and talking trash to everybody while the media is calling him the face of the league.
Make it make sense, please.
It’s the things Jaylen Brown tend to attach himself to. I’ve seen him speak on racial issues and such…I think that’s it. He’s also very intelligent and articulate and honestly I think a guy like that can be a threat.

When did edwards say he was the best player? I heard him call Jokic that. Heard him say he's the best shooting guard. 😂

He is VERY Pro-Black, he’s trynna bring black Wall Street to Boston and plans to use the money from his new contract to help him with that. He’s not marketable cause he goes against the grain and is actually for the people, not just a face trynna sell you a product you don’t even care for or might even believe in.

I was looking for this comment...
It was deep in the replies
If brown got the same shot volume as Tatum he would be first team all nba. Brown is 50% in clutch time Tatum is 36%
On average Tatum averages about one more shot attempt than Brown. It is not like there is a huge difference
Don’t forget to mention that the best defensive player on the opposing team guards Tatum, that’s not nothing. Most teams only have one defensive specialist.
@@Ishakazulu that’s really not accurate 😂

This really isn't about how much Money Brown makes. But how good he is compared to his peers. He's underrated. Period.
If you say so. If you ask me, he’s overrated if you want to bring up his contract.

Always seems like it goes this way
Just like he did in game one right? I swear JT has the Lebron effect. People jump at the chance to criticize the man win or lose
Never forget the start of the season when Jay Williams said “Giannis and Lillard are already better together after one game than Brown and Tatum after seven seasons” lmaoo
Stephen A's arguement is voided by the fact that playing next to another superstar clearly didn't harm Booker and KD..
Perk to Jay, "I've been ignored by better people." 😂🔥
He clearly did the same thing without Porzingis and holiday
Booker and KD got swept. Boston is the best record in basketball. That alone should be the reason for one of them to get booted off in place of Brown
FACTS
All NBA isn’t counting the playoffs
@@marckusduverger9776 they still had the best record by 7 games and were beating people by 11. Both Brown and Tatum went from averaging 30 and 27 last year to 27 and 23 this year was just sacrificing for the greater good but Brown got punished for that on the all nba selection despite have a better year.
Perk up there throwing DARTS at Jaywill!
It's not his "attitude " it's his intellect. He said it himself when it came to being drafted. Since he went to Berkeley, owners thought his intelligence would be a hindrance. If he played on a garbage team, his stats would skyrocket. He should have made all nba if you have kawhi Leonard on there.
Stephen A constantly undermines the Celtics by talking about their “supporting cast”. Why doesn’t he do that for any other team? It only applies to the Celtics? Why not just admit the Celtics are where they are in large part because of Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, and Al Horford too.
I always felt like the gap between them was never that big. Jaylen out playing Tatum in the 2022 NBA finals is proof of that.
Why doesn't the supporting cast ever diminish Luka or Jokic.
the contract talk is dumb af because he just benefited from being the FIRST player to sign an extension with these new terms and money. in the next 2 years he won’t even be top 15 highest paid
Exactly , bunch of simpletons thinking contact = not underrated
💯💯💯
Yeah and people for some reason can never wrap their heads around that. Mike Conley was the highest paid player in 2016 and people were saying the same things.
He won't be top 20
I'm certain
@@mason_yt444hope you realize that a majority of the people on this planet are sadly slow or miseducated about a lot of things.
People are intimidated by Jalen Brown’s intelligence, but the NBA source that Stephen A Smith was speaking of needed to code it as “not likable” because when dealing with sports, intelligence is not what makes you likable. I have never gotten the vibe that he thinks he’s better than anyone, in fact he’s truly excepted his role on the Celtics as the number two and has lived in Tatum’s shadow for over five years. I’m sorry, but that’s not someone who thinks he’s better than anyone else.
Stephan response for brown not making all nba is TERRIBLE. Brown carries the Celtics more than Tatum, he deserves to be second at least
Facts, because if Tatum showed up in the Finals like brown did, They would have a championship Ring already
Who are you taking off then to replace with Brown?
Everything he said about Brown can apply to Booker. The conversation should be do you put Brunson or Booker
and brown shows up in the playoffs😂
They stay moving the goal post
Brown showed up in the finals Tatum did not. Brown has been their best player this post season as well. Its a popularity contest and Tatum receives the benefit of the doubt all the time.

Ima be honest I’m starting to think brown is better than Tatum but we always hit him with the “he don’t got no left hand” jokes but if you watch the games this year and now the post season brown has outperformed him, he’s truly underrated coming from a bucks fan
I've been saying that the past 3 years jaylin Brown is Boston best player
I been saying it since the 22 ecf .. they gave Tatum the Larry bird trophy but brown deserved it
I been saying this at least for the last two years
As a lifelong Celtic fan, I wouldn't say JB is better than JT. I wouldn't say JT was better than JB, either. They're a duo.
I've always thought JB was a better scorer, with much more of an attack mindset than JT, while JT was a bit more skilled overall. But, they're really close, and on any given night either one can go off and be the reason you win.
I think Tatum has more raw talent but JB is more mentally strong and he understands the moment. But the point to me they compliment each other. At this point just win that's how all these narratives will be put to bed.
He may be underapreciated to the media and those who don't regularly follow basketball/NBA but he most certainly isn't in Boston. His contract speaks for itself, Celtics love both Tatum and Brown. That's why we hope/want them to get along, if Tatum has a bad night Brown can step up, if Brown has a bad night JT can step up.
Not to mention players like Holiday, White and Porzingis thrown into the mix. This Celtics team is great as it is, JT does sometimes get more of the spotlight/good press from the media, but he also gets the blame for when we lose. I think the narrative is to try and create tension on the Celtics so as to split JB and JT up, not the first time they have tried to push this narrative. But every Celtic fans knows that is a horrendous idea.
JB keep doing what you doing, we love you here in Boston. Forget the All NBA first team fans can pick and choose all they want, they aren't the ones playing on the court. Focus on winning the championship with yo brother JT and the rest of the Cs squad. We got something special here in beantown. #DifferentHere 🍀🍀🍀🍀
He this highest paid basketball player RIGHT NOW ,we saw the 2022 finals The dude arguable is the better celtic
"stop it that wasn't very nice" 😂
*SOURCE:*
The NBA assistant general manager also said that Brown’s high level of intelligence and inquisitive nature could intimidate some general managers and coaches. He added that he is a good kid who “doesn’t fit the mold of a so-called basketball player.”
“He is an extremely intelligent kid,” the NBA assistant general manager said. “He took a graduate school class at Cal in his freshman year. He is a person who is inquisitive about everything. Because he is so smart, it might be intimidating to some teams. He wants to know why you are doing something instead of just doing it. I don’t think it’s bad, but it’s a form of questioning authority.
“It’s not malicious. He just wants to know what is going on. Old-school coaches don’t want guys that question stuff.”

Why cant yall praise brown without bringing down tatum. The media really does suck
Tunes are changing 👀
All of a Sudden...
Perk when a player is underrated, they have to have a 40 to 50 point game to start to getting recognition. Jaylen Brown, Drew Holiday, and White, are the reason Jayson Tatum get such easy shots. Today's game evolve around the 3 point shot, and the power dunk. If Jaylen Brown start smiling into the camera, dunk more, raises his 3 point shooting percentage, and keep holding down his defensive prowess, he can not only become the face of the Boston Celtics, he can become the face of the entire league. Plus, he invokes his educational smarts, when he speak for all the players in the NBA.
normal people when a great team wins: appreciates...espn: criticize... normal people when u score 40: appreciates... espn: still criticize 😁😁😁
Paolo is going thru what haylen brown is in terms of the general perception of their valuation, they perform consistently while getting no media coverage.
Im happy he finally getting the respect he deserves.
Stephen A’s source is someone who works for and represents the NBA. The same NBA that doesn’t like intelligent, outspoken, and sociopolitically in tune players. Of course they’ll say Jaylen Brown is not liked. The guy is liked amongst all his peers. Pay attention to the wording that was used, “it’s that he’s not liked because of his I am better than you attitude.” The NBA offices and execs have to deal with him because he’s the VP of the players association. They don’t like that he’s intelligent and can articulate well so they’re flipping it into arrogance because they can’t have their way with him. Textbook tactics, and I’ll leave it at that.
Brown has more heart than Tatum he not scared of the big moment Tatum fold like a pretzel in those moments
Game 6 bucks… game 6 and 7 vs 76ers. Why do yall hate tatum?
We’ve seen brown fold too … Tatum shows up a lot … brown shows up a lot

@@shermandudley5548can’t wait to see Luka outplay Tatum
Great points from all three of them !
Brown definitely deserved All-NBA over Haliburton, Sabonis, and Kawhi, he only averaged .7 less points than Kawhi and his team was the number 1 team in the East
Those guys basically have identical stats. No way jaylen brown should've missed being in the all nba list.
The only reason why we don’t put brown in the upper tier of stars, is because he’s a 2nd option. If he had his own team and was doing this, it would be a different story.
Booker and either LBJ/AD are 2nd options, but they made All NBA.
@@juliothom2408 factssss but we seen them carry their own team before. So we have no problem saying that they’re better than brown and we can see why they made all nba. It’s hard to give someone all nba and they 2nd option with Tatum as the man. I love brown i think he shoulda made it over Booker and Jalen honestly or even kawhi just because injuries.
@@Sunnyte_ What those guysdid BEFORE shouldn't matter more than what they're doing NOW.
BEFORE, JB was All NBA. He isn't NOW, despite him playing the best overall ball of his career, even if he's scoring a couple of points less because of the talent the team added.
JB got penalized for being a Team Player, and that's wrong on so many levels.
The reason Boston media hates JB, and they do, is bc they dont like basketball, and bc Brown is a dark-skinned Black man who is invested in community work, outspoken about civil rights, and getting paid for his excellence. The national media is no better. Brown is soft-spoken, he doesnt get in trouble, his team loves him and responds to him, his coaches rave about him and his work ethic...but hold up, SAS got a text from someone.
Facts 😂
Tatum only superstar can have 4 points at the half and still be up near 20 then stat padd when up 15 to nake it look like he had good stats
I don’t think you saw the third quarter when he had 8 points to help push the lead to 15… lol

Highest paid player underrated?
They need them clicks bro
He's overrated based on pay
Underrated means people and media underrate your abilities. You can be highest paid and still be underrated. For instance media didnt vote him to all nba teams
Didn’t say his team didn’t appreciate him.
I thought the same at first, but clearly they are talking about public opinion rather than his bank account.
Underrated by the media, not underrated by the fans and the city of Boston. He got the top contract bag
The 76ers could have drafted Jaylen Brown rather than Ben Simmons. The 76ers could have drafted Jayson Tatum instead of Markel Fultz. Imagine how good the 76ers could have been. As a Celtics fan, I am very happy that everything worked out as it did.
Me too ☘️
I been saying for years that Jaylen Brown is the best player on the Celtics... Anyone watching basketball can see that 💯
This is because Jayson Tatum is a spoiled brat that always gets practically 100% of the credit when the Celtics are successful. But it’s always Jaylen Brown’s fault when the team loses. But it’s never Tatum’s fault when the team loses.
Why don't Luka get this type of treatment when he fails
What media do you watch
This can't be far from the truth lol
ESPN's analysts said Tatum was not playing well even if they won. That's from the Cavs series
Lol Tatum is nailed to a cross if the Celtics lose, especially if he doesn’t get at least 30 pts in that loss
@@keeganandersson4281 But when Luka loses he's free no criticism or anything but yet he wins all these awards every year and never is held accountable when his team loses ....They kill Tatum

I don’t at this point why we we don’t talk about jaylen brown as the MVP
Jaylen Browns NBA destiny will always be about protecting Tatums legacy
Lmao fr
The question wasn't who would you replace Brown for. It was is he the most underrated.
The REAL issue is that the media AND fans decided to crown JT too early when Jaylen was right there. The 2019 allstar selection is the PRIME example, when Brown had the same stats and BETTER efficiency AND better defense, but no votes. This is before JT started habdling the ball a lot too, but the narrative was that the offense was running through him even though their usage was the same smh
Tatum averaged 23 in his first all star selections that year and Brown 20. 3ppg more is a significant amount more. Tatum also had one more rebound and assist per game as well that year and slightly more steals and blocks. So idk if that's as prime example as your making it out to be.
No he talking about at the time of the selections both were avg 20.6 ppg it was identical with jb having more defensive stats while JT had a slight increase in assist. But because the Celtics were out right the #1 team in the east with JT,jb and kemba they only invited JT and kemba. JT increased his avg to 23 ppg after the monster Feb where he avg almost 25 to 30 for a month straight@@jammer9941
Brown 2016
Tatum 2017
How many rings? 0
Jordan paired up with Pippen 4 years later start of the 3 peat.
So to say either is elite is funny. But yet they talk about either one, like they should be in the jordan,lebum category.
No winny this year trade them both.
Thats when they were drafted. Michael was in the league for a couple years and dominating before scottie came around. Also, not performing as well as MICHAEL JORDAN isn't really a knock on someone lol
JayLen brown is a dark-skinned pro black athlete who supported kyrie......
That's why he underrated
Before JB got drafted, they said he was “too smart” for the NBA. It might be true. Buddy is articulate and speaks when necessary on necessary topics. He doesn’t ever really say nor do too much. It’s hard to dislike someone who doesn’t give you a real reason.
With that said, he’s a $300M player as a #2 option. How is he underrated?
Crazy they say Brown doesn’t have to carry the same load as other guys but he’s been carrying a guy who’s supposedly better than him this entire postseason.
Tatum still has scored 5 more points this playoffs while also leading the Celtics in rebounds and assists its not like Brown has been overwhelmingly better....
@@jammer9941 5 more points? You’re joking right? I guess It would seem that way if your only basis is stats. You can literally watch the games and see it for yourself Brown has CLEARLY been the better player thus far.
I've been saying for 3 yrs, that it's a legit question on who's actually better between Tatum and Brown, especially when the "break them up" narrative was out there and everyone was picking Brown to be moved, and as for being the highest paid player, that's where the Max was at the time, he's a max player, there would be a lot 300 million dollar players in the league if that was where the max was at when all the big names were eligible for it, so that highest paid play argument is null, JB has been the best player on the court for the Celtics COUNTLESS times, including their last NBA Finals appearance and low-key this Playoff run, but it's rarely covered that way.
Part of it has got to be that Jaylen Brown isn’t liked by corporate elites because of what he stands for and he just got one of the most lucrative contracts in NBA history. A black man that speaks the truth, does work to rep and support his community and has a bag of bag$ is dangerous to them.
The highest contract stuff doesn't matter. It just means a star signs a supermax. That is literally it. When any other star signs a supermax, they will become the "highest contract ever". Jrue Holiday and Tingus Pingus are both making more than Brown THIS season.
Btw, Perk didn't vote for JB. He had Banchero on his 3rd team and Tyrese Maxey on Second Team.
Stephen A. did have him on the 3rd team.
Never pay attention to Perk, Celtics are embarrassed that he was one of them
JB is now the best 2-way player in the NBA!
"i have been ignored by better people" 😂
Me personally I stay telling everyone he is the best player of the Boston Celtics, Jaylen Brown gets overlooked, and we all know why, and we just don’t want to say it. I said it last year, the year before and this year screaming it, cause this man is the best player, the most consistent, Celtics Player.
Underrated for a reason let’s not act like we didn’t see previous seasons…
Jaylen brown was the best player on that team in the playoffs when golden state won that chip in 22
He gets 60 million dollars how is he underrated
JT drops 36 points "should've been 50" JB drops 40 "best on the celtics" lmao
@8:07 it is because Brown openly doesn't like the city of Boston and the people there... He thinks they are racist and openly says so... Thus, they put him behind Tatum as Tatum is a company guy(no diss to him)
I do think Brown is the better player between the 2
Tell'em Big Perk! The media been sleep'n on Jaylen bc they always wanted Jason to be the FACE of the Celtics. The optics if paying attention... proves Jaylen had to take a backseat to let Jason have the shine on purpose. I watched to many games where it appeared Jaylen would pass on a shot just so Tatum could have it.
Jaylen Brown plays *Put-Put Basketball*
_Two steps, stop. Two steps, stop. Spin. Pump-Fake. Spin. Pump-Fake. Shoot_ .
He has one of the least-aesthetic offensive games in the NBA (among all-stars). It's exhausting to watch.
Everytime I watch the Celtics, I just want J-Brown to *take a big swing* (ie, quickly blow by the defender and elevate with grace). Instead, *he just puts around* the course/court, and hits his *par shot* .
His defense is pretty exciting, though. So, I'll give him that.
He's doing it when it matters the most.
