Brown was honored to receive high praise from the Lakers legend, also doubling down on LeBron's comments, saying he feels like he's the best two-way player in the league.
"Just come with the same mentality as I have from day one. Don't let the praise or the warmth or the criticism make or break you. Just come out and be Jaylen Brown," the Celtics star said via Bobby Krivitsky.
"Who I am, I feel like I'm the best two-way player in the world," Brown stated. "I play both ends of the court night to night. I'm available, which is hard to do. I'm a leader. I help lead my team, empower my team to come out and play confidently, stuff that doesn't always show up in the analytics. And I'm a winner. I come out and try to win every single night."
"So, I'm grateful. It's an honor to play in the Celtics-Lakers rivalry. It's an honor for LeBron, who's arguably the best player to ever play the game, to give me some high praise. So, I'm just grateful. I wake up every morning grateful (and) humbled," he added.
