EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown talk about their relationship | NBC Sports Boston 

The Jays are both chill and relatively quiet dudes. As a quiet guy myself, I’ve noticed that when you don’t say much, people will start talking for you and put words in your mouth, and will run with their own narratives about you- that’s basically what the media is doing with the Jays. It’s not fair to them, they just want to focus on basketball, they don’t want to waste their time trying to dispel false headlines 24/7.

“He still can’t guard me” 😂

Boston and the Celtics are lucky to have these two young men. Gems.

When JB said they’re both introverted, I felt that. Like you don’t need to be always together and hanging out with someone to be close to them

They're brothers and thats all that matters.

Media needs to go back and watch this and stop pitting these young legends against each other. I want them to win just so they can shut all the critics up.

This was really awesome. There’s a clear relationship between these two and a very healthy one predicated on respect. I truly hope they’re both here for the next decade plus.

The Boston sports media needs to accept that Jayson isn’t all that talkative, so they assume he doesn’t have good relationships with people. But that couldn’t be further from the truth

Best Young Duo in the NBA

After winning Conference Finals Jays hug each other and said : They said we couldn't play together! What a strong relationships within Celtics ! Let's go Celtics!

These two have been smashing all expectations since they were drafted. They dont have to live under the same roof to coexist and keep leading the C's to success.

I can't stop smiling.

Tatum: "I do got a son" haha perfect

Jaylen Brown babysat Deuce. Their friendship is set in stone.

“Want for your brother what you want for yourself…it’s like I want a gold medal because I know he wants one. To see him win is like seeing myself win” You can tell that there is so much of genuine love, respect and support going around their friendship. 💚💚💚

I know Danny ainge made a lot of mistakes as gm and was heavily criticized, but at the end of the day he did one of the greatest things that has ever been done for the organization in drafting these two guys two years in a row at number 3. He did a lot that pissed me off but I’ll always be grateful to him for managing to secure two generational talents who are also great people. We easily could have ended up with Simmons or markelle fultz, not to knock either of those guys but I’d much rather have Jaylen and Jayson. Somehow he knew that they were the right move and he couldn’t have been more correct. They’re gonna win more than one championship together in Boston, and both will be Celtics legends at the end of it

What’s really cool is these dudes knew each other in high school even though they did not go to the same school. I hope they stay on the same team for a very long time. They can definitely win multiple titles

These two are the heart and soul of the Celtics much love

Media "Jayson calls Jaylen his son."

4:24 "some people try dichotomizing it" love that expression, Jaylen's so well-spoken

i love these dudes. Celtics for life baby!

I love this interview! They may not be hang out buddies, but I can see that they have a strong bond and want the best for each other! They are becoming family.

It’s crazy how much everyone obsesses over if these guys are best friends. No one ever asks Steph and Klay how close they are. I guess Jaylen and Jayson just need a catchy nickname. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Hate that they even had to do this but love it at the same time. Can’t wait to see them lead us to banner 18. 🍀🍀🍀

The media wants conflict so bad, they did this with KD and Westbrook. Conversations over whose team it is, whose the alpha, etc, it’s all irrelevant. At the end of the day they’re just playing ball and it’s clear they don’t hate each other. Jayson Tatum has a son and Jaylen is a single 23 year old so their lifestyles are going to be different not to mention they might have different interests. End of the day it’s one goals, banner 18.

Jalen brown been my favorite nba player since his rookie season Tatum is literally turning into a monster right in front of our eyes

I don't know how to describe this connection between me and these guys but I feel like they are my brothers too. Even though I come from the whole different side of the world and never had a chance to communicate with them I can still feel that thing. We are the same age tho, watching them play every night since they drafted, watching some analytical videos about them, ETC. God, I love my team. I wish the best for themselves for my Celtics and for you the fans.

Every time I see this I’m reminded of my relationship with my brothers. Everyone in our family expect us to be best friends but we aren’t we are brothers. It’s not that we don’t love each other but at the end of the day we have different interests and it’s okay as long as there is respect.

NOW LOOK AT THEM BOYS!!!! HEADING TO THE NBA FINALS!!!!

Love these two young men. Quality individuals. You can see they have a mutual respect for one another. Makes me incredibly proud to have this quality of human beings to route for on my favorite team.

Coming from someone from Boston I'm lucky to have these guys as are superstars and now they only got 3 games left till that championship it's crazy to watch their growth from the beginning lfg Celtics!!

happy to have existed during the time when the Celtics had the Jays.

Jaylen got mad jokes 🤣😭🤣😭💀💯

i hope these guys are teammates for their entire careers

JB is finally growing into his king/leadership (Lebron) energy… This interview shows how his maturity has improved… See how he’s holding court, controlling morale, being generous with praises (at the same time reaffirming himself) and diffusing tense questions with cocky humor… Been waiting years for this version of JB… Long live the king…

Surprised it took 7 years for this piece about them to come out, great work!

This marriage counselor like Interview will bring them closer together

We are so lucky to have them FRFR. In contrast to the phili drama; this is exactly what I wanna see of superstars. Humility, motivated and a great appreciation for the other success. Let’s go Celtics!!

1:50 i love how Jaylen consistently saying this keeping that competitiveness in them😂

Boston Celtics: Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown , Interview is amazing.

Celtics is so lucky to have these intelligent, well spoken, amazing players on their team. I just love seeing them happy for each other ☘️

June 9th 2022 and this guys are two wins away from raising that banner :O :D

This is the best - thank you Chris F for such an awesome view on the two Jays. Boston is so fortunate to have these 2 young men. And duh, they get along great!

Yes! More content like this! 🍀❤️

this is a great vid from them

Come on Boston media Celtics Got something good RN for years to come and you trying stir stuff up between the Jays🤨 AS A BOSTON CELTICS FAN WE NEED TO VOTE JAYLEN & JAYSON TO BE IN THE ALL STARS FOR THE REST OF THEIR CAREER HERE 💯☘️

Very well made

Love this duo!

These two young men will raise to the Garden rafters MULTIPLE banners. One coming very, very soon. Couldn’t be prouder to have them wearing the green. ☘️

This popped up on my for you page when they are in the finals.

I love these 2

It’s like the Boston media just completely ignores their own videos they put out 🤣🤣

This was really heart felt

That was a good interview

Jayson is quiet and Jaylen is respectful both Jays respect each other on and off the court

That’s dope! Salute!

These 2 are Celtics legends!!!

Jayson Tatum is just chill and quiet

My heart can’t this 🥺🙌🏾👏🏾🤣

BACKGROUND MUSIC MAKES THESE SO FIRE!

And now they are both heading to the NBA Finals 2022👍🏻

This one here is a certified hood classic 🔥☘️

Awesome!!! Love this team because they play like a team LET GO 18

Thankful

My Guys‼️👊💯

Two excellent basketball players on the same team, giving it their all every time they’re on the court. Being exceptional young men and playing for a storied franchise… What the heck else do you want this is the best!

People raise questions because they struggled in a year that was out of the ordinary. Understand the amount of talent this 2 possess and understand that these 2 are closer then it seems because they are both introverted. They are gonna raise a banner in Boston soon, plain and simple.

Dope!

The AAU picture gonna be legendary if they win it all this year. LET'S GET IT!

Bring it home this year gentlemen

Great interview. It's sad that this conversation even needed to be had, but there's clearly an appetite for this among media and fans. Hopefully, this can be put to rest now and Jeff Goodman will stop trying to create controversy for the sake of it. Did Michael and Scottie get this much scrutiny around their 1:1 relationship?

I’m about to cry man. It’s no way Jimmy Butler about to break up this duo.

Need another interview of these two together

These guys are great!

Media wants to divide these dudes so bad it’s annoying. As a Celtics fan I’m just glad JT and JB are chill af and ain’t like Mr. In This Media Sphere Kyrie 😂

My young guys 😭😭😭😭🍀🍀🍀

Still hate how media wants JB to leave the Celtics

fucking love these guys

Best young duo now in NBA 💪👌👍💪

Boston media always tryna break them apart it’s disappointing

And now Celtics are in the finals. We’ve come such a long way. 🍀

Great to have u both in Boston, B together here n keep working hard guys..no turnovers though :)) go Celtics☘️

I love jaylen so much ❤️❤️I can’t wait to meet him

They have the potential to be one of the best duos in the league yrs to come

As a huge fan of both guys I’m so glad they aired this out for all the naysayers that always try to pit them against one another. I mean cmon you aren’t going to let JB people watch your son if y’all aren’t close. If these two can stay relatively healthy and together I predict a few rings in the near future. Sky is the limit for both. Much respect and good luck on this season. #TheJays #Banner18Loading #2022NbaChampions #YouSeenItHere1st

A healthy relationship behind the cameras, the realest ones

I'm glad to see these two do this interview. I have always hated the whole "Their not friends" narrative. It's simply not true. There is so much love between them. We all have good friends we don't chill with on the regular but, that's still your man no matter what. Let's stop talking about this. They have been through so much together and they are most definitely fam, much are closer than most people think. Talking heads will always drum up controversy. Yes I'm talking about you Goodman.

Only a fool would break these two up.

That was beautiful 🥲

Our future is so bright.... Love this young fellas. Hope they can finish their careers in green,let's go Celtics ☘️🔥🏆

John and Bobby like wow

Someday these two will bring a championship to the C's

Jayson Tatem is obviously a superstar, hopefully NBA champion superstar, shortly. And, personally I consider Jaylen Brown a superstar, although I understand some people would argue that point. But I like Jaylen Brown beyond just what he does on the court, I just love that he’s a bona fide genius. I loved that Matt Patricia was a genius, too. And (I know he’s gone now, but…) I loved that Mookie Betts was a semi-pro bowler. I, personally, think having the 2 geniuses is cooler than having a semi-pro bowler, but both things are awesome

I like this.

That's love right there you don't have to be related to have that kind of bond

Thank you Danny Ainge

You can tell they don't hangout that often or prob have the same interest but they are def cool wt each other. They gonna be apart of banner 18 together. bros for life

This such a cute relationship!!!

Here after they beat the heat in game 7 and made the NBA finals 🔥🔥😎

We really love them both here, and btw the fans here never wanted to trade either of them.
