Are Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum already all-time Boston Celtics greats? The duo recently cracked the top ten in all-time scoring for the storied ball club, and have a title to their name already along with a host of deep runs since they came into the NBA in 2016 and 2017, respectively.<\/p>\n

Brown has a finals Most Valuable Player award, and has put himself squarely in the 2026 MVP race as well as Tatum had before his Achilles tendon injury, with both having more than 10 All-Star nods to their name as well. One could seriously argue both have a Hall of Fame case if they retired today, so they have to be all-time Boston greats by now — or are they?<\/p>\n
