Was sixth place too low for Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown in the 2026 NBA Kia Most Valuable Player voting? The Georgia native finished a respectable sixth overall in the Most Valuable Player race, garnering no first place votes but still having a strong showing in the race in general.
A decent amount of Celtics fans had Brown in the lead or close to it for much of the league’s 2025-26 regular season. But there may have been a touch of green-tinted lenses playing into such an assessment. Was it fair for players like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Victor Wembanyama, Nikola Jokic, and Luka Doncic to be ahead of the Boston star in this assessment of the NBA’s MVP?
