The Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers are squaring off Monday in a matchup between two of the NBA's best teams. Jaylen Brown is clearly aware of the magnitude of the game and decided to make the Boston crowd go crazy with a statement dunk over LeBron James.

Brown was called for taunting, but it was totally worth it. The crotch grab at the end was likely seen as more egregious than the quick hang-time on the rim. This play will stay on Brown's personal highlight reel and deservedly so.
