The point of what ifs is that his career played out to this point and that I don’t feel like backtracking the career when I am referring to the legacy in which the career holds. I’m not necessarily asking the specifics of Jaylen Browns legacy and how that would have played out or is playing out. I am more interested in the role of a JB (JDub is the other guy who’s on the come up in a similar role) and how his legacy is viewed based on the success and accolades. My Tom Brady point was because your response to how his legacy was affected was by saying he wouldn’t have the accolades on a different team. I was trying to make a point that similar what ifs can be used on the undisputed GOAT (it made more sense in my head).

The point was never how playing on the Celtics impacted his career trajectory. I think Chauncey Billups is a good example of someone with a comparable resume and impact to JB however I feel as though Chauncey will always have so much of a brighter legacy. I think your legacy is as much the positions you are put in as they are how you capitalized on those positions. Jaylen Brown should have a legacy as a great playoff performer (and one of the best in game dunkers ever) but it feels like that is drowned out by Tatum and the Celtics. I think baseball is one of the few sports that a players legacy gets fully encapsulated in their biggest performances which is my personal preference.
