Philadelphia 76ers star Jaylen Brown had 10 terrific years as a member of the Boston Celtics. He's 10th in all-time franchise history in total points with 13,474 and averaged 20.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 2.9 assists in 674 career games in Boston.
Brown was a 5-time All-Star, a 2-time All-NBA Team member, and a finals MVP in 2024 as a member of the Celtics. He was fantastic during his time in green, and as he now moves on to his new chapter with the Sixers, one has to wonder how the Cs will eventually honor the No. 3 pick in the 2016 NBA draft.
Former NBA guard Lonzo Ball hopped on an episode of "Ball in the Family" and gave his thoughts on Brown in Celtics history:
If you line up Boston's best players ever, he's in my top 5. So, put that (expletive)
up there...The only two wings better than him are Paul Pierce and Larry Bird. Larry and Paul...He's low key frying Bird!

Brown is certainly going to be honored as one of the best players in Celtics history, but it remains to be seen if his No. 7 uniform will join the other iconic numbers at the TD Garden in Boston.
