The Boston Celtics officially have two All-Stars on their team, with news that both first-time All-Star forward Jaylen Brown and second-time All-Star swingman Jayson Tatum have officially been named as reserve members of the 2021 NBA All-Star Game according to the NBA.
For Tatum, it’s a dose of validation in a season where the impact of a bout with COVID-19 and team struggles may have taken a bit of the bloom off the rose of his rise to superstardom ever so slightly. For Brown, it is the recognition of his explosive growth into one of the league’s top two-way talents. It also entails a hefty bonus per the terms of his recent contract extension.
