Jaylen Brown · For one night Jaylen Brown’s facial protection mask turned him into a superhero. Brown ran the break with Malcolm Brogdon following his teammate’s steal until Brogdon dumped it off to Brown for a gravity-defying throwdown over San Antonio Spurs forward Sandro Mamukelashvili. Even without Jayson Tatum in the lineup, Brown still led the Boston Celtics to one of their most dominant victories of the season — a 137-93 rout on March 26, 2023 in which he posted 41 points, 13 rebounds and three assists. An All-Star for the second time in 2023, the seven-year veteran posted career-best averages in points, rebounds, minutes and field goal percentage all while leading his squad to 57 wins, the most for a Celtics team since 2008-09. · State of Mint · State of Mint
