Jaylen Brown is brimming with confidence right now, so much so that he doesn't see anyone matching up against him and Boston Celtics teammate Jayson Tatum.
The Celtics took down the Miami Heat in Game 5 of the series, thanks in large part to Brown and Tatum's lethal combination. Brown finished with a game-high 25 points to lead the 93-80 win, while Tatum had a near triple-double of 22 points, 12 rebounds and nine assists.
It didn't start particularly well for Brown, who saw a turnover-galore in the first half of the contest. However, he was able to bounce back to help Boston lead by as much as 23 points.
Naturally after the big win that gave the Celtics the series lead for the first time, Brown expressed his belief that he and Tatum are playing some of the best basketball of their careers.
“We feel like not a lot of people can play basketball with us,” Brown claimed, per Jay King of The Athletic.
Sure enough, no one can refute Jaylen Brown's claim. After all, he and Jayson Tatum are indeed proving to be one of the best duos in the NBA right now, and the fact that they are just one win away from the NBA Finals only gives more weight to his declaration.
Of course the Celtics still have to close the series against the Heat and win the Larry O'Brien trophy, but it is certainly a good thing that Brown is feeling as confident as ever. They will need that plus some more swag if they want to win it all.
