In the 2024 NBA Playoffs, Boston Celtics’ Jaylen Brown has had a big year.
However, this matchup against the Mavericks is not the only instance of his postseason excellence.
In the playoffs, he has been doing exceptionally well overall. Truth be told, he just pulled off an accomplishment last cultivated by Boston legend Larry Bird back in the early piece of the 1980s.
“Jaylen Brown is the second Celtic player to score at least 20 points and shoot at least 50 percent in seven consecutive playoff games. The other: Larry Bird in 1984,” composed Dick Lipe of NBC Sports on X (previously Twitter).
This stretch began when the Celtics and Indiana Pacers were competing in the Eastern Conference finals. Over that range, the previous California Brilliant Bears star arrived at the midpoint of 27.4 focuses on 52.9 percent shooting from the floor, while likewise piling up 5.4 bounce back and 4.1 helps.
However profound and capable as the Celtics may be, obviously they wouldn’t be only a success away from winning the 2024 NBA Finals notwithstanding the extraordinary play of Brown. Brown and the Celtics are not thinking about achieving the same statistics as their predecessors.
However, one thing they are really trying to duplicate from 1984 is winning the NBA title to cap their playoff run. In those days, Bird and the Celtics crushed the Los Angeles Lakers in seven games in that year’s version of the NBA Finals.
