Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis destroyed the Bulls, and Jaylen Brown knows how scary that could be for the rest of the NBA.
The reigning NBA Finals MVP is averaging 23.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game for the Celtics, who sit second in the Eastern Conference.
This is the fourth time in franchise history that the Cavaliers have earned three NBA All-Star selections (1989, 1993 and 2017). Other Eastern Conference reserves include: Jaylen Brown (Boston), Pascal Siakim (Indiana), Cade Cunningham (Detroit), Damian Lillard (Milwaukee) and Tyler Herro (Miami).

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown spoke to the press after the Celtics 122-107 away win against the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday.

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama and Boston guard Jaylen Brown were among 14 players named on Thursday as reserves for next month's NBA All-Star Game at San Francisco.
The Celtics will have multiple players at the 2025 NBA All-Star Game after Jaylen Brown was selected as a reserve. He joins Jayson Tatum.
Wembanyama becomes only the fourth Spurs player to make the All-Star Game in his first or second season. The others: Alvin Robertson in 1986, David Robinson in 1990 and 1991, and Tim Duncan in 1998.
The versatile guard is named to the Western Conference reserves; teammate Norman Powell is not despite averaging a team-best 24 points per game.
The NBA head coaches have to pick two guards, three frontcourt players and two "wild card" players at any position for the reserves. The West All-Stars have five frontcourt reserves in Davis, Jackson Jr., Sengun, Wembanyama and Jalen Williams.
