Did Jaylen Brown just shore up MVP case in potential 2026 NBA Finals preview?

Did Jaylen Brown just shore up his Most Valuable Player case in a potential 2026 NBA Finals preview between his Boston Celtics and the Oklahoma City Thunder? The Georgia native showed out in what was likely the Celtics best win of the 2025-26 NBA regular season, outplaying MVP front-runner Shai Gilgeous-Alexander while helping Boston beat the league’s reigning champions.

And Brown did it on both ends of the court, defending at an All-Defense level while being the engine of the Celtics offense as well. The folks behind the “WEEI Boston Sports Original” YouTube channel put together a clip from their “Greg Hill” Show to take a closer look.
