Celtics icon Bob Cousy isn't sure Jaylen Brown is up for the challenge to get the team to the playoffs this year without Jayson Tatum.

This article was originally published on www.si.com/college/cal as Celtics Legend Bob Cousy Casts Shade on Jaylen Brown. First of all, I am not here to be critical of Bob Cousy. He was one of the first great players in the NBA, a 13-time All-Star, an MVP and a Hall of Famer. He won six NBA titles as floor leader of the Boston Celtics.

The heavy reliance on offense coming from beyond the arc -- particularly as a first attack -- particularly irks the Celtics legend. "I like the three as a weapon," explained Cousy. "But not as the first (expletive) option. It’s always going to be there for you. It’s not something you have to create."
