It's not uncommon for fans to challenge professional athletes in all sports to one-on-one battles, claiming they can beat them at their own game.

Rarely, however, do we ever get to see these matchups because, frankly, athletes have better things to do with their time.

But over the weekend, Boston Celtics 20-year-old forward Jaylen Brown provided a glimpse at how one-on-one with a fan would go.

Brown is in just his second year in the NBA. He looks, by all accounts, to be a talented role player for the up-and-coming Celtics, but his rookie year average of 6.6 points per game doesn't scream "superstar," either.

But when Brown matched up with a fan, you get a glimpse at how talented pro basketball players truly are.
