Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd was asked about Jaylen Brown's impact and he described him as being the Boston Celtics' best player.
BOSTON — The Boston Celtics pulled off a 64-win season and have a chance to win a long-awaited championship with a 1-0 series lead over the Boston Celtics in the 2024 NBA Finals.
Brown opted not to feed into the conversation when asked about Kidd's remark, saying, "I don't have no reaction." He added, "I don't know. It's a team game. We're trying to focus on that, and, you know, everybody has their own opinions." "I'm not sure. I'm not sure. But we've been just extremely focused on what our roles and our jobs are," Brown said. "We have all had to sacrifice. Jason has had to do that at the highest of levels, right, and I respect him and tip his cap for it. Right now, at this point, it's whatever it takes to win and we can't let any outside interpretations try to get in between us.
Tatum did acknowledge that it would be a smart strategy to attempt to drive that wedge between him and Brown if that was what Kidd intended to do. "I guess it's a smart thing to do or try to do," he said. "We've been in this position for many of years of guys trying to divide us and say that one of us should be traded or one is better than the other. So it's not our first time at rodeo.
"By doing your best not to pay attention to it because a lot of people don't know what they are talking about, and specifically if you've never played that position or been on a team at that level where you have to go through it yourself, and I know that we have people that appreciate the game of basketball that speak on it," Irving said. "But at the same time, it's an everyday thing when you're on the team with, you know, other guys that add value to the team.
