Jaylen Brown has been unbelievable this season. He has the gap-year Boston Celtics looking like legitimate NBA title contenders, and he has high-profile peers presenting his MVP case for him.
This has been a ceiling-raising kind of campaign for the five-time All-Star, but Max Kellerman opined this might go even beyond that. Because in his mind, Brown has managed to leapfrog no other than perennial MVP candidate Luka Doncic on the hoops world's hierarchy. For Kellerman, it's not a matter of talent, but rather it boils down to a superior approach.
"Because Jaylen Brown is not as talented as Luka, he is forced, if he wants to be a great player, to the play the right way," Kellerman said on the Game Over podcast.
