The Boston Celtics will have two representatives in the 2021 NBA All-Star Game as both Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown were named to the team on Tuesday.
For Tatum, it was his second All-Star selection, making him the youngest player in Celtics history (22 years old) to receive multiple All-Star bids. It's Brown's first NBA All-Star nod.

Together, Tatum and Brown became the second C's duo to make the All-Star team under the age of 25. The first C's pair to do so was Bob Cousy and Ed Macauley back in 1953 (via Celtics Stats on Twitter).
The future is bright for Boston's young stars.
Tatum entered Tuesday night with a team-high 26.0 points and 4.6 assists per game to go along with 7.1 rebounds. Brown is averaging a career-high 25.5 points to go with 5.5 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game.
