Brown was the third pick in the 2016 NBA Draft and is in his eighth season in the league (all with Boston).

Considering he is only 27, he could end up playing in 200+ career playoff games by the time his career is over.

Brown finished the regular season with averages of 23.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.2 steals per contest while shooting 49.9% from the field and 35.4% from the three-point range in 70 games.

He also made his third NBA All-Star Game, and the Celtics were the first seed in the Eastern Conference with the best record in the league (64-18).

The Celtics currently have a 2-0 lead over the Mavs, so Brown is only two wins away from winning his first title.

He is in the NBA Finals for the second time and has also made the Eastern Conference finals six times.
