#ESPN #NBAonESPN #nbatoday Jayson Tatum joins Malika Andrews for an exclusive interview detailing his success with the Boston Celtics, the playoff outlook for the Celtics, his camaraderie with teammate Jaylen Brown and more.
It’s crazy.. the man lost in the finals at 23! Lebron and Jordan failed until they turned 28! JT gets a ton of hate for overachieving! As a Celtics fan, I will rub it in everyone’s face when we win a ring this season. If we stay healthy I think we can roll through the whole league.
I’m glad someone else see this point as well. Tatum literally gets looks at different for having success at an early age. What some also forget is that he was going against a team who was a dynasty and debatable the best PG we have ever seen. Going up against a team that has had their battles against Bron and even Bron struggled to beat them even before they had KD. For some reason no one wants to point that out.
@@Raider_Sage omg the Luka is better than Tatum argument is so ridiculous lol. I just tell them go watch Mavs vs Celtics and tell me who the better player is!
We’ve watched this young man grow and mature in so many aspects of maturity. Celtics fans should embrace and celebrate this young man and his teammates
Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are the best duo in the NBA! KP and Jrue Holiday have been amazing additions and I hope they all have long healthy careers in Boston!
@@felipeb.9321 they’re smoking everyone too. Point differential on wins is like 10 pts. We could’ve had less than ten wins, like the Indiana robbery, Tatum getting hurt vs Warriors. I’m happy with our record and the way we are beating teams! The casuals say we lose to every elite team, lol so it would be better to lose to bad teams?! 😂 some nights the opponents just want it more and they need it more. When we lose a game it makes 0 difference in the standing because we are up 4 games in the league and 6 in the East! Laker fans still think that win was legit, they don’t know the Celtics. They stopped doing it this season for the most part, but last season we lost plenty of games because they played down to their competition. They didn’t respect LA without Bron and AD so they just thought they would miss every shot. Well they got hot that game and lit us up 😂. To see Lebron on the bench acting like he got the win with his coaching was so worth it! No they won’t because they played team ball and they didn’t have a player on the court who sits around on defense!
man it’s really great to see how much he’s growing year to year. he will go down as a great and hall of famer. one of the best celtics to ever touch a basketball
I’m one of the biggest Lakers fans no doubt about it, but I absolutely love JT. Great player and an even better person. If my Lakers don’t get it done this year I’m really pulling for JT to get him a ring.
Wow a Laker fan who likes JT. Well I know Laker fans are realistic unlike the Lebron fans. Anyone with 2 eyes can see how special Tatum is. Ask a Lebron fan, “he’s a choker”. While their “goat” had the most epic collapses in the playoffs. Who remembers when the Spurs sagged off him and basically dared him to shoot a mid range shot?! He didn’t shoot it! That’s the day I realized we are being fooled!
@@cvgodd1432bro what , where did you get the idea that Bron fans hate Tatum 😂😂😂I’m a Bron fan but Tatum is elite. I think once the Celtics win the chip this year he’ll be the next face of the league. Bron is still the goat tho don’t get it twisted 🤣
He remembers when she said he wasn't a superstar. You can tell by his approach. She tries to get him to laugh at some corny jokes but he hardly cracks.
Yea i noticed right away lol. The eye contact was a bit too long. Tatum is a very handsome man, as a man I can see that so imagine women lol. I’m happy Tatum doesn’t date these famous women too. I’m sure he can get an Ice Spice or Latto, he knows they’re just a huge distraction and the media will turn it into a huge story. The man just wants to win rings!
Guess you haven’t been watching the last ten games. He still does it but when the games pretty much over. He really did cut down and posts up way more. I love seeing him at the line, thing is these refs have it out for him. Vs Miami dude didn’t get one foul call until 30 seconds left in the game. Even the announcers said something about it!
The day the CELTICS got Jaylen Brown I was totally stoked and then they got Jayson Tatum I Knew God answered my prayers he gave me two the best small forwards ever ,,, the year that Celtics got Kyrie Irving I saw Brad Stevens in front of the four season in SF he was with a woman and her son son wearing a Kyrie Irving shirt Brad Stevens taking pictures with them I waited soon as he was done I was yelling Brad Brad Brad Brad he would not turn around finally I yelled Brad Stevens he turned around looking I yelled back at him don't you lose them Two Brown and Tatum,,, he yelled back at me don't worry I Won't .....
lol really? That’s pretty cool. Not as cool as when I met Brady at some random gas station in Quincy! 😂 my cousin was like “it’s Brady!” I instantly said bull shit because he would always joke around like that. I look up and it’s the god himself!! He said “how’s it going fellas?” He was leaving so I didn’t ask for a picture or autograph but I regret it now lol. I also met Dave Chapelle right before he blew up. Have a picture, and an Aaron Hernandez autographed picture! Have some other stories but those are the most famous people I’ve met. Tony Allen too he used to go to the store I worked in, worst mall ever in Watertown lol. He would come by a beanie hat and leave.
If he went pass lebron in his rookie year and won against the warriors which is almost impossible back then he would have been the first mvp since magic
i think it's because of how unprofessional she is. do we not remember how she brought up coach Mazz's non basketball related criminal charges from his college days?
Y’all love telling these players what to do like these aren’t grown a$$ men. Nobody cares if he tats his body up. It’s HIS body. He doesn’t have a massa
If Jayson cheated the game by NOT playing full court in playing Offensive ball instead of Basketball I'm sure he could fill the STAT MAN STAT MAN them sheet too with all the touches LUKA gets. It's WAY harder to be magnified with less touches & energy than those who do have more because their ball hogs. The disrespect JT gets for being a complete #NBA player is absurd. I'm almost sure a Jalen BRUNSON Jayson TATUM Dorian FINNEY-SMITH Courtney LEE/ Tim HARDAWAY Jr. Kristaps PORZINGIS with Spencer Dinwiddie & Nerlens Noel on bench would of gone to the NBA Finals! The Team around type of criticism is bull is about the your leadership in playing basketball being VALUABLE to the team success. Celtics do not get far in Playoffs consistently without JT!
Even as a Celtics fan, I still think they'd be lucky to win 1. Don't trust these guys when it matters most. Maybe KP can tip the scale and get it done, but in the long run, this guy as the "leader" of the pack won't cut it to be a serial winner
@@dh5363 I trust Tatum dude has did nothing but win since being in the league. Has had big playoff games and has learned from his mistakes. Last year we would have won that game 7 if Tatum didn’t get hurt. Our biggest problem is coaching.. we went down 3-0 to the Heat because of coaching. Our talent and guys showing heart is what brought us back to even be in a game 7
@dh5363 it won't surprise me one bit if Tatum never gets a ring but I truly believe he'd pick the MVP trophy over a championship. Some just have that mindset.
You have not won a title or anything yet..too early to say it's a success. Just winning more games top spot in the East doesn't guaranty that you're winning Larry this year already.
while i agree the vocal fry is tough (and unnecessary), let's not dismiss malika's splendidly crafted questions. her segues give the conversation a natural flow, and supplements the audience with better context/insight to really appreciate jayson's answers.
