Brown's impressive run includes winning the Larry Bird Eastern Conference Finals MVP award, leading the Celtics to a sweeping victory over the Indiana Pacers.

Now, he has made history by becoming the first player in relatively brief history to claim both awards.

Brown's outstanding Finals performance against the Dallas Mavericks saw him average 20.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 5 assists, cementing his status as an NBA superstar.
