Brown is in his eighth season in the NBA and this is already his sixth time in the Conference Finals.
However, the Celtics have been unable to win a title since the 2008 season when Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett were still on the roster.
They will face off against either the New York Knicks or the Indiana Pacers.
