For a player once dubbed “too smart for the NBA,” Brown has proven himself to be one of the best forwards in the league. And, according to former Celtics guard Nate Robinson, that blend of intelligence and talent should make Brown a candidate to become the face of the NBA. “He’s probably the smartest NBA player of all time,” Robinson told Heavy on Sports, via Zamsino. “It’s not a Batman and Robin situation,” Robinson told Heavy on Sports. But, for now, all Celtics fans can do is wait and see what decision he and the front office make.
