Regarding who he believes to be the best player on the Boston Celtics, Dallas Mavericks coach Jason Kidd made a really audacious statement.
On Saturday, Kidd was asked what makes going up against Jaylen Brown so challenging. Brown was hailed as the team’s best player by the Dallas coach, who showered him with compliments.
Jaylen is by far their greatest player, Kidd informed the press. “When you look at what he does defensively, you can see that your best player does everything—he picked up Luka (Doncic) full court and made it to the free throw line.”
This one will be entertaining for those who are eager to debate whether Brown or Jayson Tatum is more valuable to the Celtics. That argument has been the subject of incessant discussion and has even sparked media feuds, especially the one involving Brown.
In any case, it’s not hard to understand why Kidd holds Brown in such high regard. In spite of a few high-profile rejections in the past, Brown is having a breakout playoffs and winning MVP of the Eastern Conference Finals, if he wasn’t already a star. He might get that kind of credit the next season, particularly if he plays a key role in the Celtics winning the championship.
