Brown has already been to the NBA Finals twice since the 2022 season, and he has also reached the Eastern Conference Finals six times in the previous eight years.
That said, he failed to win a title during this time.
Currently, the Celtics have a 3-1 lead over the Mavs, so they can clinch the NBA championship with a victory on Monday.
If the Mavs win, the teams will return to Dallas for Game 6 on Thursday night.
The Celtics most recently won an NBA championship during the 2008 season, when they were led by Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo.
Doc Rivers was the team’s head coach.
