Nearly every player on the Celtics roster secured their first NBA championship on Monday night, but one of Boston’s key players isn’t content with just one title.
Moments after the Celtics clinched their 18th franchise title, Jaylen Brown was already looking ahead. Having earned both Eastern Conference Finals MVP and NBA Finals MVP, Brown is confident that the team will soon necessitate another adjustment to the TD Garden rafters.
“This whole playoffs was awesome, man,” Brown said in an NBA-provided video. “Shoutout to my teammates. We finally did it. We finally brought a banner to Boston. It’s going to be fun to do it again.”
Brown and the team might replicate their success as early as next season. The Celtics plan to retain their core players, including Al Horford, for the 2024-25 season, entering as favorites to win the Larry O’Brien Trophy again.
Is it overly ambitious to call the Celtics on the verge of a dynasty? Perhaps. But Brown and his teammates are acutely aware of the opportunity ahead and are highly motivated to make the most of it in the coming years.
