On October 24, Beijing time, Bucks star Brother Alphabet was asked in an interview who is the best player in the NBA, and his answer was Jaylen Brown, which may surprise many people. His remarks also caused heated discussions.
Last season, Jokic was voted the regular season MVP, and Alexander and Doncic were the other two stars to vote in the top three for MVP. Brother Alphabet didn't choose them, nor did he choose himself. His answer was three-time All-Star Jaylen Brown, who has never received a regular season MVP vote in his career.
"I think the best player is the one who wins the championship, wins everything, and is the best player in the team," he said in an interview. "So, I think the best player in the NBA is probably Jalen · Brown."
Brown is the MVP of the 2024 NBA Finals, and the Celtics beat the Mavericks in five games to claim their 18th title in franchise history. Brown was also the MVP of the Eastern Conference Finals. On the day of the championship ring, he wore the ring and looked domineering with the photo of the three trophies (championship, FMVP, and MVP of the Eastern Conference finals).
"It doesn't matter if you're an MVP or a All-Star team," he said. "If you can't get your team to win the championship, you're not the best."
Previously, he also said that if the Bucks can't win a championship this season, he could be traded by the team. This shows how important the champion is in Brother Alphabet's heart. The Bucks were eliminated from the tournament with a 49-33 record last season, losing 2-4 to the Pacers in the first round, and he played 73 regular season games, averaging 30.4 points, 11.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.1 blocks per game, and ranked fourth in MVP votes.
