The Boston Celtics have been revitalized thanks to the leadership of Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum. Brown, who now graces the cover of the 2024 TIME100 Next edition, following in the footsteps of legends like Larry Bird, has been instrumental in this transformation. Together with Tatum, they have formed one of the most lethal duos in the NBA.
Brown was named MVP of the 2024 NBA Finals, leading the Celtics to a championship. During the season, the Celtics posted an impressive 64-18 record in the regular season and 16-3 in the playoffs.
Both Brown and Jayson Tatum are committed to the Celtics through at least 2029. This duo has shown great chemistry and has led the Celtics to two NBA Finals appearances in the last three years.
Their ability to play together and complement each other on the court has been crucial to the Celtics’ success. Brown and Tatum have formed one of the most talented and promising pairings in the NBA in recent years.

Jaylen Brown spoke highly of his teammate Tatum. “We have a championship-level relationship,” Brown said in an interview with TIME. “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.”
