Boston Celtics star wing Jaylen Brown wrote a thank you note to the All-NBA voters who voted for him this past season.

Brown was voted to the All-NBA Second Team along with Jimmy Butler of the Miami Heat, Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets, Donovan Mitchell of the Cleveland Cavaliers, and Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors. His All-NBA selection allowed him to become eligible for the veteran super-max extension that he and the Celtics agreed to in July.

Brown, 26, had a career year in the 2022-23 season, as he averaged 26.6 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game (all career highs) across 67 regular-season appearances. These numbers were good enough for Brown to earn the second All-Star nod of his pro career.
