The Jays proved once and for all they are a championship duo.
The emotion of the moment was clear as day and could be felt through television screens across the world. Jaylen Brown, minutes after the buzzer soundedwhen the All-Star forward won the Larry Bird Eastern Conference Finals MVP
Their partnership, never perfect but almost always good enough, paved the way for this Celtics' title.. Unlike the other true championship duos we think of, they do not fit hand-in-glove on the court. Their skillsets overlap, as do their weaknesses. It's why, silly as it now seems, that there was real traction behind the argument that the Celtics would be better off breaking them up.
This is not to credit Tatum and Brown's flaws as the reason Boston won a championship. It is, though, the truth— that the Jays' obvious strengths and occasionally fatal weaknesses gave the Celtics both the ability and the motivation to blow up a roster that had recently proven good enough to make the Finals. It was those same strengths and weaknesses that allowed for this team to be truly great.
Nobody will ultimately remember much of that. The details will fade into history. But it is important to take stock of the moment while we're in it.
