On Sunday night, Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown was named to the All-NBA Second Team alongside Kawhi Leonard of the Los Angeles Clippers, Donovan Mitchell of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Kevin Durant of Houston Rockets and Jalen Brunson of the New York Knicks.

Brown received 44 first-team votes and 54 second-team votes, earning 384 points in total. He was just behind Cade Cunningham of the Detroit Pistons for a spot on the first team, as he registered 414. Other players on the first team included Luka Doncic of the Los Angeles Lakers, Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs, Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder.

It's not necessarily surprising to see Brown on the second team. After all, he finished sixth in the league's MVP voting behind those same players. As was the case with that honor, it's important to point out the international proliferation of the sport. Four of the five first-team members are not from the United States.

SGA is from Canada, while Jokic is from Serbia, Wembanyama is from France and Doncic is from Slovenia.

Despite not finishing on the first team, it was an incredible year for Brown, as he averaged 28.7 ppg, further elevating his game in the absence of Jayson Tatum.

Tatum played only 16 games as he was recovering from a torn Achilles that was suffered during the playoffs last season. Brown helped lead the Celtics to a 56-26 record and the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference. Unfortunately, they were bounced by the Philadelphia 76ers in the first round.

As noted by Zack Cox of the Boston Herald, Brown said "I'm not surprised. I'm not the most liked (by) fan(s) or media."

It's hard to say he was snubbed, because each of those players are incredible players, but you can certainly make the case for it. Brown had a durability that some of them didn't and was third in the league in total points this season (2,038), behind only Doncic and Gilgeous-Alexander.

He played 71 games out of a possible 82: SGA played 68, Doncic played 64, but was still ruled eligible for postseason awards despite falling just short of the 65-game threshold. Jokic played 65 and Cunningham also played just 64, but given eligibility for these awards.

As for the rest of the Celtics? Derrick White was named to the NBA's First-Team All-Defensive team and Joe Mazzulla is up for Coach of the Year.
