Jaylen Brown of the Boston Celtics is on top of the world these days, coming off winning the NBA championship and the NBA Finals MVP in June.
Many people feel the Celtics’ core will be together for a while, so there may be more championships in store for him in the years to come.
In the meantime, with the start of training camp still weeks away, Brown decided to have a bit of fan lately.
He was seen going up for a dunk while in a pool, and that photo went viral.

Brown makes up one-half of the Celtics’ star duo along with Jayson Tatum, and they have now been together for seven seasons.
In their very first season together, they went to the Eastern Conference Finals and had a real shot of playing for the Larry O’Brien Trophy, but they lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers in seven games.
Three more trips to the conference finals, including a trip to the championship series, followed in the next five years, but Boston was unable to win it all.
Oftentimes, a team in that type of situation will make drastic changes and break up their core, but while the Celtics did make significant changes last summer, they resisted the temptation to trade Brown.
They’re now pretty heavy favorites to win this coming season’s world title, and while the rest of the Eastern Conference has gotten stronger, many are still confident the Celtics will end up winning title No. 19 next summer.
