Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown have been lauded by Celtics legend Kevin McHale for their impressive performances during the playoffs this season. During an interview on SiriusXM NBA Radio, McHale commended the two stars for their growth and development, particularly in the Finals against the Dallas Mavericks.
Despite struggles with shooting percentages, McHale was impressed by Tatum’s ability to impact the game positively in other areas such as rebounding, passing, and defense. He praised the young star for playing unselfishly and making the right decisions on the court, focusing on contributing to team success rather than individual stats.
McHale also highlighted Brown’s growth during the playoffs, praising his improved decision-making and passing skills. He noted that Brown played within the flow of the game and focused on his role in team success rather than chasing after personal accolades.
Looking ahead to next season, McHale acknowledged that defending a championship is no easy feat but believes that if Tatum and Brown maintain their hunger and motivation to prove their critics wrong, they can lead the Celtics to future success. He emphasized that their teamwork and commitment to winning are crucial factors in achieving this goal.
