Jaylen Brown said Saturday that it takes 'sacrifice' on his behalf in order to coexist with his superstar teammate, Jayson Tatum.
"It takes sacrifice on my behalf," Brown told reporters at NBA All-Star Weekend in Salt Lake City."It's definitely a lot of opportunities that you can be a guy. But the ultimate goal for me and Jayson has always been to win games.
"So when you see team dynamics, there's nothing wrong with doing your job on the team. So throughout my career, I've learned to be and play the role that has been needed for me to play, and I think that's part of why the success has been able to happen. Being able to humble yourself and be like yeah, I know I could be something somewhere else, but there's no problem being a great team guy and winning here in Boston.
While Brown might be considered the Celtics' No. 2 option, you wouldn't know it looking strictly at the numbers. The 26-year-old is averaging a career-high 26.5 points and 7.0 rebounds per game while shooting 48.7 percent from the floor.
