In the last month, the hype and buzz around NBA awards started to pick up, and thanks to his amazing play and leadership all season, Jaylen Brown worked his way into the MVP conversation. It has been very cool to see Jaylen receive the recognition for all the hard work he has put in over the course of his career, and it couldn’t be more well-deserved.
