""I feel like I'm the best two-way player in the world," Brown said. "I play both ends on the court. Night-to-night, I'm available, which is hard to do. I'm a leader. I help lead my team, empower my team to come out and play confidently, stuff that doesn't always show up on the analytics. And I'm a winner. I come out and try to win every single night. So I'm grateful.""
""I think he just used the motivation of a lot of people just saying that they're going to have a down year," James said. "The whole championship team pretty much is kind of revamped and he used it as motivation to keep them afloat. They're playing great basketball, and it's because of him and the rest of those guys. He's taken that next step.""
Jaylen Brown scored 32 points in a 111-89 Celtics win over the Lakers and entered the game averaging career highs: 29.2 points, 7.0 rebounds and 4.8 assists. Boston improved to 37-19, the second-best record in the Eastern Conference. LeBron James endorsed Brown as an MVP candidate, noting Brown kept the revamped championship team competitive despite significant roster changes and injuries, including Jayson Tatum's season-long absence. Brown described himself as a top two-way player, emphasized nightly availability, leadership, and winning mentality, and credited those qualities with helping sustain the team's success.
