Seeing the Jays grow up as Celtics, on a contender from the jump, and leading this storied franchise to a title has been most satisfying as a fan. The league has had so many examples of superstars coming up together and not co-existing successfully. They were forged as teenagers in big game after big game, when most high draft picks get to play at least a few seasons of losing ball as they pad their stats and find their way in the league. They did everything the right way, and got their first title

Now, they enter their prime, brimming with justifiable confidence, jacked to the max, with an amazing supporting cast, a great young coach, and the best front office in the league. There are a lot of individual stars in the league, but it’s the Jays’ league now.

Danny Ainge deserves a statue for his work from 2004. Built 2 absolute juggernauts. Obviously, he didn’t put the finishing touches on this one but he found the cornerstones and hired the coach who would ultimately become the final architect.

Although I think Tatum, narrowly, deserved Finals MVP, having Jaylen win ECF and Finals MVPs is such an optimal result for the Celts. It burnishes Jaylen's reputation and cements his status as an inner circle NBA elite and gives Tatum something to strive for. This season is going to be so fun.

I'm 100% certain that Jaylen could put up 10+ TDs as a WR/TE in the NFL with an offseason and camp to prepare for a season. Dude is silly jacked and lean.

And he's still pissed off, which is good for us and bad for opponents. If we win this year, Wyc should give Grant Hill and Steve Kerr rings.

Seems like a good time to re-post the race between JB and AJ Bouye, who apparently has run the 40 in as low as 4.45.

His size and speed in transition are up there with the best in the league. He was 2nd last year in ppg in transition (only behind Giannis), 4th in 2023 (only behind Giannis, Lebron and SGA). I love that even though there are 4 other starters comfortable with creating their own offense (and the team in generally was relatively slow, 23rd in pace), it seemed all year like everyone made a conscious effort to get Jaylen the ball whenever there was a transition opportunity.

Am I crazy to be concerned about the health of Jaylen's feet and ankles wearing his own shoes? Those BBB shoes gave Lonzo problems with his ankles.

That thumbnail makes it look like it was just Jaylen's disembodied head appearing on Hot Ones.

That looks like how they would have made someone appear as a "disembodied head" on Space Ghost, without bothering with a green screen or anything...

The number of people that can't differentiate the fake and nonsensical philosophical musings of Kyrie vs Jaylen is disturbing. I will admit that I could just be a sucker, but Jaylen Brown sounds so much more real than Kyrie ever has.
I hope he finds something really great to work on in his post basketball career.
