Jaylen Brown has been the center of attention in the Eastern Conference finals. Cementing his mark in Game 1 with a game-tying shot to force overtime, Brown continued where he left off with a 40-piece for the Boston Celtics in Game 2. His big night resulted in a 126-110 Celtics victory, as well as a 2-0 lead for the team in their ongoing series against the Indiana Pacers.

There are several reasons for the wingman’s recent success, but Brown’s exclusion from the All-NBA team this season may be one. Brown made it plain that he doesn’t give a damn about the All-NBA conversations, but he did say something in the postgame that seemed like a shot at other players.

Asked if he feels like an underrated player, the 27-year-old had this to say:

“I watch guys get praised and anointed who I feel like are half as talented as me on either side of the ball,”

“But at this point in my life, I just embrace it. It comes with being who I am, who I stand for, and I ain’t really changing that. I’m grateful to step out on the floor each and every night. I put my best foot forward. I get better every single year, and whether people appreciate it or not, it is what it is.”
