Jaylen Brown was on fire during the Celtics’ championship run. With the ECF MVP, Finals MVP, and the Larry O’Brien Trophy to show for his immaculate form, JB still couldn’t find a place in Team USA’s Paris voyage. But that didn’t stop Brown from scoring some more and this time he went off-court.

Result?

A new song and a shoe company added to his growing portfolio. Finally, he decided it’d be a perfect time to put his taste buds on fire as well, by appearing on the First We Feast’s Hot Ones. And that’s where he revealed how to handle the increasing trouble in the NBA, created by Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving.

With the new season on the horizon, the Celtics are off to Abu Dhabi for their training camp. But before that, Jaylen Brown sat with Sean Evans for an episode of the popular YouTube show. Talking about all things hoops, JB spilled the beans on how to bottle the Mavs duo, the same ones who he beat last season to the title.

“Being an elite defender, you gotta study guys’ rhythm… So like, if you see, like, certain guys, they play to a certain beat, to a certain cadence, they play a certain style,” Jaylen Brown said after Sean asked what it is like to study a player’s rhythm.

“Luka (Doncic) has a unique rhythm. It’s almost so slow that it’s hard to time. Kyrie has a unique rhythm as well, very one of one. So his moves and high his cadences is sometimes is very, very hard to time. Like, he has a lot of countermoves,” mentioned JB.

“Like, he can go and pivot off both feet. He can shoot with both hands. He can drive both directions, which makes his rhythm a lot harder to track. Some guys only go right. Some guys only go left,” Brown further added. The Celtics posed an all-rounded threat last season.

With Jaylen Brown racking up 49% field goal defence percentage in the 19 playoffs outings, it’s hard to dispute his “elite defender” tag. But that wasn’t all he had in his locker. To outplay the Mavs’ flairful duo, Brown had some tricks up in his sleeves as well.

Jaylen Brown recalls his clutch moment from the Mavs series

Months have passed since the Boston Celtics’ historic championship victory, but Jaylen Brown still hasn’t gotten over the iconic moments of the Finals series. When the host asked about a buzzer-beater moment of JB’s career, he immediately said the clutch shot from Game 3 against the Mavericks.

“One minute left, I hit a shot that kind of halted their momentum, that helped us carry out and get the win that was this year and I think it helped us ultimately win the championship,” he added. The swingman gave a picture-perfect description of the intense game between the finalists at the American Airlines Center.

Brown put up the second-highest point (30) on the Celtics’ scoreboard, along with eight rebounds and assists each. His heroics most certainly confirmed the Eastern team’s third game-win, making it harder for the Mavs to make a comeback. Although Doncic and Kyrie showcased a brilliant performance in the next game, the Celtics had already taken the upper hand. The phenomenal moment will forever stay in Brown’s memory.

For now, Brown is enjoying his time in Abu Dhabi with his team before starting off their preseason games. The Celtics have a hectic schedule ahead of the action-thrilling regular season, which will give the fans a glimpse of what the champions are up to next season.
