VIDEO: Celtics' Bradley greets Young with monstrous hand

Thomas B. Shea-USA TODAY Sports

The Boston Celtics will be relying on Avery Bradley even more on both ends of the floor in the coming weeks with Marcus Smart set to miss time as he recovers from a lower-leg injury.

Having a reputation for being a versatile perimeter defender, Bradley is the complete opposite when it comes to protecting the paint as a 6-foot-2 guard, totaling 58 rejections in 292 career games.

Brooklyn Nets forward Thaddeus Young probably didn't think Bradley would put up much of a fight as he went up for a dunk attempt on Sunday night at the Barclays Center.

How wrong he was.
