Let's move on to Jalen Brown, who had a historic performance last night.

He dropped 33 points in just 19 minutes.

And according to Elias Sports, that's the most point by any player in fewer than 20 minutes in the shot clock area ERA that dates guys back to 1955.

When you have done something no one has done since 1955 it is a big deal.

And it gets the attention of 11 time champ Bill Russell, who tweeted a Jalen great playing tonight.

Keep it up.

So Brian is Jalen Brown on your most improved player ballot already?

Okay, he's on my most improved player ballot.

He's on the All Star ballot.

He's on the all MBA ballot.

I gotta be honest with you.

There's only three or four players in this league right now.

I would probably trade Jalen Brown.

Four.

Onda contract that he signed while it is $100 million contract is well less on the max, making the Celtics thrilled that they got him on that deal.

He's arguably one of the most valued dollar for dollar players in the league right now.

And if you watch the way he got the points in this game, he showed everything.

He created turnovers and scored in transition.

He took the ball to the basket.

He, you know, came off of screens on catching shoots and shot it.

He did pull ups.

It was a complete display of how well rounded his game was gonna be.

Ah, couple of years ago, when he was in the second year, I kind of thought he was gonna be a sort of a three and D player card nose defender who would score when the ball came to and he wasn't getting the ball much.

Now you look at him and say he's a foundational piece of a championship contender.

I agree.

I definitely think he tops for for most improved.

And you could see at the end of last year the way he was playing in the confidence that he was playing with that let you know, going through the summer and, well, whenever I guess it wasn't a summer.

But going into next year he was gonna play with a lot of confidence and he hit the season.

Hey, hit the ground running from the beginning of the season.

So I mean, I think they're one A and one B.

When you're talking about the best players and most important players on the Celtics team and when he goes and when Tatum goes, their team goes and then you add Kimball Walker's.

So I think right now, most improved.

Like you said an All Star.

He's playing right at all star level that he's playing out right now and look out for Jalen Brown because the Celtics have, ah, great opportunity to come out of the East because they play on both ends extremely hard.

Vince, what did you notice about playing against Jalen Brown when you went against him over the past few years?

He could do everything very athletic.

He's he's a guy at at 676869 in that area who, who can, who can guard one through four, and he's very confident in his game.

And you can see his jump shooting and his three point shooting and his confidence put the ball on the floor, just start to soar on every year and now, watching him from afar, thinking back toe, seeing him his rookie year.

Like Brian said, you didn't know it first, and you're like, Oh, yeah, he's a pretty good player And now he's becoming a special player and he will be getting a Mac soon.

See, this is one of the awesome things about having Vince Carter in the show.

Like number 207 he's his own basketball reference.

He has been able to play against and judge every player in the n b A over the last two decades and can give you their progression right off the bets events.

We appreciate that.
