塞爾提克隊昨天奪冠之後，拿下暌違16年的總冠軍，尤其兩大球星Jayson Tatum和Jaylen Brown的過往事蹟也被翻了出來討論，兩人過往都待在球隊之中，但被擋在冠軍前面許多次，今年總算可以捧起獎盃。

而在賽後有記者前進休息室採訪到過去曾經執教過Jayson Tatum和Jaylen Brown的Brad Stevens，今年奪下最佳GM的Stevens也被問到對於Tatum和Brown在生涯對於球隊的貢獻價值，以及在他們生涯初期就受到這麼多的輿論壓力。

Stevens回應：「我認為這些批評都很愚蠢，所以我根本不在乎，這兩位球員在25,26歲得到的成就都比同齡得到還要多，會有這些批評聲浪只是因為他們在五月六月還在打球。」

"I think the criticism's stupid... [Jayson Tatum & Jaylen Brown] had achieved more than most 25, and 26-year-olds ever had. And the only reason they received scrutiny was because they were playing in late May & June."
