"I've been saying this about Jaylen Brown for years now,"
"There's not a better two-way player - I said this about three or four years ago - he's the best two way player in the NBA. Now he's being able to showcase his skills on a whole new level minus Jayson Tatum."
"He's showing you. Is there any player (more like) Rodney Dangerfield in the NBA? You know what I mean by that. Dangerfield always gets no respect."
"I just wanted to win; last game on the road trip, I wanted to finish out strong," Brown said. "I believe I'm the best two-way player in the world. So I just wanted to come out and show it."
Jaylen Brown outperformed Knicks guard Jaylen Brunson in December in points, rebounds, blocks, steals, and shooting percentages, yet Brunson won Eastern Conference Player of the Month. The Celtics climbed to second in the East after winning eight of their last ten games while the Knicks went 4-6 over their last ten. Paul Pierce praised Brown as the best two-way player and likened him to Rodney Dangerfield for receiving little respect. Brown reacted on Twitch, requested to guard Kawhi Leonard, and responded by scoring a season-high 50 points on 18-for-26 shooting in a 146-115 win.
