Jaylen Brown Says This Season Was 'One Of My Most Fun Years Playing Basketball'

With Jayson Tatum out of Game 7, Brown finished with 33 points and 9 rebounds. Without Tatum, the Celtics started Baylor Scheierman, Ron Harper Jr., and Luka Garza alongside Tatum and Derrick White. Brown added that he wished that team had trusted that style more throughout the series. I wish we played that style and trusted that style more, even throughout the playoffs, even through wins and through losses, Brown said. Obviously, it's not always the easiest decision, but I wish. That style for our team was how we empowered the rest of our group, and you saw tonight how everybody came out and played their tail off. I wish we trusted that more. Brown averaged 28.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 5.1 assists on the season.
