Jaylen Brown was named the 2024 NBA Finals MVP after the Boston Celtics defeated the Dallas Mavericks Monday night.

Jaylen Brown is the 2024 #NBAFinals MVP!

Brown averaged 20.8 points, 5.4 rebounds and five assists per game as Boston won the series in five games. He had a 30-point performance in Game 3 and put up 21 to close out the series on Monday.

Brown’s co-star, Jayson Tatum, had a strong case to win Finals MVP as well, averaging 22.2 points, 7.8 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game throughout the series, but voters ultimately decided Brown had the stronger performance.

If the pairing of Tatum and Brown stays together, it seems likely Tatum will have a Finals MVP of his own soon.

While Brown walks away with the Finals MVP trophy, the Celtics put together a full team performance throughout the playoffs, especially in the Finals.
