Lonzo Ball ranks Jaylen Brown ahead of Jayson Tatum in Celtics history

Lonzo Ball recently stated that former Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown holds a higher place in the organization’s all-time legacy than teammate Jayson Tatum. During a podcast discussion with his brothers, the 2017 No. 2 overall pick ranked Brown behind only Larry Bird and Paul Pierce among Celtics wings. The comments surfaced following the Celtics' decision to trade the 2024 Finals MVP to the Philadelphia 76ers last October. Boston acquired Paul George in exchange for Brown, effectively ending the tenure of a duo that reached the NBA Finals in 2024. While the organization opted to retain Tatum as its primary superstar, debate continues regarding the historical standing of both players within the franchise. Brown enters the current campaign with the 76ers, while the Celtics continue their transition following the roster shakeup.
