Jaylen Brown makes bold claim about his duo with Jayson Tatum: “Me and JT are probably the best two-way players in the league”

The Boston Celtics, led by Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, are making a statement in the NBA. Brown believes he and Tatum are "probably the best two-way players in the league."

Players have made huge leaps in their careers this season, and the same goes for the Celtics duo. There have been rumors of breaking them up for years but thankfully they stayed together.

The Celtics reached the NBA Finals last year but lost to the Golden State Warriors in six games. Tatum and Brown are determined to lead their team all the way this time around.

In an interview with Bally Sports' Brandon "Scoop B" Robinson, JB stated that he is thrilled to continue growing as an individual and as a team. He also highlighted that he and Tatum are arguably the best two-way players in the league.

"I don’t subscribe to what’s being said. I try to stay as even-keeled as I possibly can. Right now, things are going well. Tomorrow can flip just like that. So I just want to stay balanced and continue to move forward and continue to win games.

"I think me and JT are probably the best two-way players in the league. I’m excited to be able to continue to get better, excited to be able to win games, and that’s not a knock on anybody else. But I’m hungry and I’m looking toward the future."
