It seems the NBA Finals MVP partied a bit too hard after winning Boston’s 18th championship last week, as he announced on social media that he already lost his championship ring during the team’s victory parade.
Jaylen Brown took to Instagram to ask fans for help finding his missing ring. “Reward for whoever finds this ring, lost it at the parade,” he posted.
Celebration and Unity
After losing an NBA Finals two years ago and then falling in the Conference Finals against Miami last season, there was plenty of reason to celebrate for the Celtics. Following their Game 5 win that crowned them champions, Brown emphasized that unity was the theme for this year’s squad.

Brown said he’d do whatever it took to win, even though he’s often seen as the team’s star player. By Game 1 of the finals, he had already made history by becoming the first Boston athlete to score 20 points with three blocks and three steals in a Finals game.
Acknowledging Team Effort
When receiving the Bill Russell NBA Finals MVP trophy, Brown gave all credit to his teammates. “It was a full team effort,” JB shared. “I share this with my brothers and my partner in crime, Jayson Tatum.” Despite being named MVP, he remained humble about his contributions.

Notably, Jayson Tatum also had an impressive series averaging 22.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 7.2 assists per game throughout the finals. Meanwhile, Brown averaged 20.8 points along with notable performances like scoring 30 points in Game 3.
Bouncing Back from Defeat
A critical moment came after Game 4 when Boston suffered their only loss against Dallas. “You’re going to have to fight and just stay in the moment,” Jaylen said post-defeat. He stressed how important it is to bring your best every night at such a high level of competition.
Coach Joe Mazzulla praised Brown’s ability to confront his weaknesses on court after hitting a playoff low earlier but bouncing back strong enough to lead Boston’s triumph over Dallas in Game Five with a standout performance of eight rebounds and six assists alongside scoring twenty-one points
“He’s not afraid of facing weaknesses,” Coach Mazzulla noted admiringly about JB’s mindset transformation into opportunities on court which ultimately led him towards growth despite discomforts faced during games making him more resilient overall!
Two years ago during finals against Warriors shooting percentage dipped drastically while turnovers were high; however now overcoming those past mistakes proved pivotal leading Celtics towards another historic title!
