Boston Celtics will start a new preseason on Friday against the Denver Nuggets. And two stars of the team, Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, are ready to defend the title in the NBA.

To accomplish the goal, Brown and Tatum need to demonstrate that their last season’s level was not a matter of luck. After the criticism that surrounded the key Celtics’ players, they’ll be looking to bring the trophy home again.

With the 24-25 season drawer nearer, Brown decided to send a strong message to the other teams in the NBA. The Celtics star talked with Time about what is coming up and his relationship with Tatum: “History is going to remember us both for what we accomplished this past season. And I think we have a lot more in store for people.”

The relationship Brown-Tatum on Celtics

Besides the good mood among Celtics‘ stars, Brown made something clear about their relationship: “We have a championship-level relationship.” And that motivation can be shown this Friday in the game against Nuggets.

Last season, in which Celtics obtained the title, they placed a great mark in NBA: 64-18 was enough to fight for the trophy versus Mavericks and the duo Brown-Tatum had a fantastic performance.
