There’s a high bar in Boston, where the Celtics have raised 17 banners. That shouldn’t overshadow what Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown have already accomplished — and what they’re still capable of, writes John Tomase.
, the Celtics boast the two most battle-tested young stars in the league. Brown has reached the conference finals in four of his six seasons, and he sat out one of the two misses with a broken wrist.
In any other city, we'd be celebrating the inexorable rise of the league's next great power. But in Boston, we've never really embraced the concept of walking before we run, so it's somehow a disappointment that the duo has yet to claim multiple championships despite starting their careers in an East ruled by LeBron James, and then wilting before the greatest NBA dynasty of this century.
Since the moment Danny Ainge secured consecutive No. 3 picks, the fate of the Celtics would always rest in their hands. Not Gordon Hayward's. NotTatum's and Brown's. And so as they begin their sixth season together as consensus favorites to win it all, it's worth appreciating just how far they've come and just how good they can still be.
Now they're as ready as they'll ever be, thanks to their two young stars. Tatum only scratched the surface of his potential as a playmaker and was still named First-Team all-NBA. Brown, for his occasional ball-handling misadventures, was halfway to a Finals MVP award before the C's ran out of gas.
