This season has been special for Brown while Tatum completed his Achilles rehab on the sidelines. The Celtics star has embraced his responsibilities as the top star, helping the team firmly remain in playoff contention until Tatum came back, putting themselves back in the title discussion.

"Analytically probably not. But I put my blood, sweat and tears into this season… The analytics don't quantify who I am and who my spirit is," Brown said.
