Jaylen Brown is probably the subject of the most vitriol in the Jayson Tatum-led Boston Celtics system. This means that there was more reason for him to shut his haters up during this NBA Finals run. A lot of it has to do with the way that the team valued him, whether it was still […]

The road was very long and often teased Al Horford on his way up. Going professional made him have big stints with the Atlanta Hawks, Oklahoma City Thunder, and Philadelphia 76ers.
