Jaylen Brown is rapidly climbing the Boston Celtics' all-time scoring list.
When this season began, he was 15th. He's now 10th after passing four Celtics legends, including two on Wednesday night alone.
Brown netted 32 points during Boston's 120-99 rout of the Golden State Warriors at TD Garden, including 19 points in the first quarter alone. He finished the game with 13,202 career points, moving him past Jo Jo White and Dave Cowens for the 10th most in Celtics history.
After this free throw, Jaylen Brown is officially a top-10 scorer in Celtics history.
An impressive achievement, as he passed Jo Jo White and Dave Cowens today.

Brown is still only 29, too, so his career might only be half over at this point. He still has a lot of basketball left to play.
Meanwhile, Jayson Tatum is also in the top 10. He's ninth after scoring 24 points against the Warriors, giving him 13,908 for his career.
Despite missing most of this season with an Achilles injury and starting his career one year after Brown, Tatum still holds a significant scoring edge over Brown.
As long as Tatum's healthy, it will be difficult for Brown to catch him. However, they can both try to rise the ranks together. Up next is Bill Russell in eighth place at 14,522 total points, so Tatum will likely need until next season to surpass him.
