Jaylen Brown Criticizes Star Players For Skipping Back-To-Backs

Jaylen Brown is an NBA Champion and a big reason why is because the entire Celtics team has the heart of a champion. The core of this team all has a lot of the same qualities; switchable, plays defense, plays in every game, and consistently improves each season. Jaylen Brown is the epitome of that.

The Celtics star winger thinks it’s vital to play in back-to-backs because it builds mental and physical toughness.

“Back-to-backs, it’s not like (only) the Celtics got to play them. Everybody in the whole league is no different. … As a team, some of those moments are some of the adversity,” the 28-year-old said after Boston’s 108-89 win over the Miami Heat on Monday, according to Bobby Krivitsky of Sports Illustrated. “Back-to-backs are tough. You get your body, your mind, everything ready. … But as you’re looking to do something special, those are the moments you got to accept.

“It’s hard for teams to be great if some of their best players never play back-to-backs.”

“Even when you’re not feeling well, to show that you’re still available, I think kind of just sets the tone for your team to have the same type of mindset,” he said.

Jaylen Brown is Underappreciated by NBA fans

I know the load management people are throwing rocks right now but it’s hard to disagree. The alternative is Joel Embiid who thinks he can just never play and turn it on come playoff time. How is that working out for the 76ers?
