Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown was recognized for his sensational performance in the Eastern Conference Finals series against the Indiana Pacers.
The 6-foot-6 wing claimed the Eastern Conference Finals MVP and received the Larry Bird Trophy as the Celtics swept the Pacers by winning Game 4, 105-102, on Monday, May 28, at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
Brown gave a hilarious statement when asked about his feelings upon hearing his name called as the recipient of the award.
"I wasn't expecting it at all. I never win s**t. I was just happy that we won," the 27-year-old told the media in the post-game press conference.
