McGrady watched the team's performance over the years and felt they had the potential to win a championship together. However, Brown was frustrated and considering making a change. McGrady encouraged Brown not to break up the core, believing they had a strong chance at winning a championship. Two years later, after that conversation, the Celtics went on to win a championship.",
