Justin Tatum was in Paris for the Olympics and was confused by his son’s lack of playing time. “I was OK with it if it made sense. If it made sense not to play him like a matchup,” Justin Tatum said. “But if you can’t find time for him or whatever [USA head coach] Steve Kerr said. That don’t make too much sense. [Jayson] had a long season and a long summer and I just wanted to make sure he was healthy. ‘I just wanted to make sure that at the end of the day you know you’re still one of the best players out there. So, whatever the coach’s decision was or if they felt that they didn’t need you, we’re not always right as coaches. Hopefully, you take that as a sign of motivation and not disrespect. You’re one of the top five players. Keep your head up.’

Steve Kerr might have created a monster by benching Tatum during the Olympics 😅

Asked Tatum a few questions about the 3PT in today’s game. Does he enjoy how many he and the #Celtics take?
“I don’t go into the game like, ‘I’m shooting 14 threes tonight.’” pic.x.com/ij2oEaEPd1 – 10:35 PM

Jayson Tatum says it “was kind of devastating” Lakers showed no interest in him before the 2017 NBA Draft
The Magic/Pelinka front office was focused on Lonzo Ball at No. 2. Tatum went third to Boston.

There’s a lot you take for granted with this #Celtics team. Tatum making good decisions. White and Holiday being rocks every night…
We’re at the point where Luke Kornet giving them solid minutes is a foregone conclusion. Incredible given where he was 3 years ago. – 10:50 AM

More on this storyline
“He wasn’t good with not playing. But he wasn’t in the room pouting or throwing chairs around or it was a topic of conversation at dinner. He said he could’ve stayed with his family, stayed home or done this, which is true. But he was happy to be out there winning the gold and he never really played with LeBron [James], Steph [Curry] or KD [Kevin Durant]. Being around those guys was a great experience and the main thing we were talking about.” -via Andscape / November 6, 2024
“It was cool (seeing the Celtics win the championship),” Walker said. “Especially the guys who I was able to be there with, like JT and Jaylen, the growth over the years has been unbelievable. So to be able to play with them and see with my own eyes how much they grew to win a championship, it’s pretty special actually.” -via Celtics Blog / November 5, 2024
