Lonzo Ball Ranks Jaylen Brown as Top-5 Celtic All-Time, Better Than Tatum
Following Jaylen Brown's blockbuster trade to Philadelphia, the debate over his Boston legacy heats up with bold claims comparing him to Jayson Tatum.
Lonzo Ball has ignited a debate over Boston Celtics history, asserting that Jaylen Brown ranks among the franchise's five greatest players and surpasses long-time teammate Jayson Tatum.
Speaking on the Ball in the Family podcast, as reported by BasketNews, the former No. 2 overall draft pick offered high praise for Brown following a seismic offseason trade that sent him to the Philadelphia 76ers. The blockbuster deal ended Brown's tenure in Boston, where he was an instrumental part of securing an NBA championship.
While the Celtics hold more championships than any other franchise in the league, Ball placed Brown directly in that historic upper echelon, arguing his contributions and standing in Boston outshine Tatum's as Brown prepares for his first campaign in Philadelphia.
