Jaylen Brown of the Boston Celtics<\/a> is an NBA champion who has battled against some of the toughest players to ever suit up on the court.<\/p>\n

But when it comes to the hardest player to guard, Brown had a clear answer, and it might surprise basketball fans.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cMarco Belinelli. Marco Belinelli used to light me up. He just used to never stop moving. I\u2019d have to chase him around the system we had \u2014 all these different screens. He\u2019s not even getting the ball, but you never know when he\u2019s about to take off full speed, start running, and catch it. Just fatigued, bro,\u201d Brown said, via Courtside Buzz.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Boston followers will remember that Belinelli scored a game-tying buzzer beater against the Celtics in Game 3 of the 2018 Eastern Conference semifinals, and that moment has clearly stuck with Brown.<\/p>\n

He spent 13 seasons in the league and played for multiple teams, including the San Antonio Spurs, Atlanta Hawks, Philadelphia 76ers, and more.<\/p>\n

He won a championship with the Spurs in 2014.<\/p>\n

Brown is no joke on the court, and he has been able to move past all kinds of opponents, so giving Belinelli a special shout-out means something.<\/p>\n

This season, Brown will probably have an even bigger target on his back because he will be leading his team in new ways.<\/p>\n

Without Jayson Tatum in the lineup, Brown will be called on often by the Celtics and will have to run the ball more and be even more of a playmaker.<\/p>\n

That means that opposing defenses will be looking to slow him, lock him up, and shut him down entirely.<\/p>\n

Belinelli gave Brown a headache, but is 2025-26 about to present him with problems he\u2019s never had before?<\/p>\n
