Don’t get me wrong — it’s fine that he wasn’t on an All-NBA team, but there’s still a legitimate argument that he probably should’ve been on one of them.
Brown played for the best team in the NBA. It felt like a sure thing that Boston would get at least two All-NBA selections this season. Naturally, Brown and Jayson Tatum would be the likeliest two. He was also an All-Star this season and a legitimate two-way threat on both ends of the court.

SHEESH. That was unexpected. But…also, it’s fair. The Celtics came into the season with the goal of winning a championship as the team’s top priority.
Plus, Brown already got paid for making an All-NBA team last year. Nearly $300 million probably makes you feel a lot better about things.
Clearly, Brown is locked in.
