After winning the NBA Finals MVP award and helping the Boston Celtics to their 18th NBA championship, Jaylen Brown rushed to Instagram to respond to his skeptics.

After winning MVP and the title, Jaylen Brown takes to Instagram to respond to his detractors.
The Celtics capitalized on the skepticism and criticism throughout the series. Brown’s post addressed the critics who questioned their chances of winning the title head-on. He emphasized how the Celtics won the title in a decisive manner, defying the odds and proving their doubters wrong.
Brown had a difficult time rising to the top. When he was selected third overall in the 2016 NBA Draft, many doubted his ability and suitability for the Celtics. He developed a strong relationship with Jayson Tatum throughout the years, and the two of them suffered through many disappointing postseason seasons. Before making a breakthrough this season, Brown in particular had lost one NBA Finals game and four Eastern Conference Finals games.
With a league-best 64-18 record at the completion of the regular season, the Celtics proved their supremacy on both ends of the floor. Before playing the Mavericks in the Finals, they lost just three games during the playoffs, continuing their winning streak. Many analysts and fans continue to bet against them despite their remarkable run, preferring the Mavericks led by Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving.
With an average of 20.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 1.6 steals per game during the Finals, Brown had an incredible performance. His clutch heroics won him the MVP award for the Finals, and his defensive efforts against the Mavericks’ stars were vital. This triumph demonstrated not only his skill but also his fortitude and development as a player.
