It is not a secret that Boston Celtics star forward Jayson Tatum is having quite a rollercoaster over the past few months. He’s found himself in basketball controversies. There was his missing out on the NBA Finals MVP, which was won by his teammate, Jaylen Brown, after Boston took down Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks in the 2024 NBA Finals.
Then there was the issue with his usage with Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where he saw action for only four of six games and averaged just 17.7minutes per contest.
Jayson Tatum can use all that as motivation as he prepares for the upcoming title defense of the Celtics.
Tatum also remarked that Joe Mazzulla is thrilled over those aforementioned basketball misfortunes, with the Celtics head coach thinking that Boston stands to greatly benefit from Tatum playing with such a huge chip on his shoulder.
