Jayson Tatum Reacts to Criticism During Celtics Playoffs | NBA Finals Practice

[@darrendonovan6679]

Such a mature superstar giving thoughtful, measured, respectful responses. Yet there are people calling him boring , can never be an alpha, not tough enough, perpetual loser can't win, not the rah rah type to lead a team,..... SMH He's a great model for younger players to follow

[@jamiehorvath2507]

choke artist

[@walterharris7421]

Our entire team is like this. We should be the model of the perfect team playing great TEAM BASKETBALL

[@jonjones9917]

Someone brought this up to me with what angel reese said the other day, saying how shes a "real class act" sarcastically. And I said well in the NBA we have an ACTUAL "real class act" in Tatum and the entire USA hates the man. So there no pleasing these people either Tatum is a boring, no heart, no leader, lame, or an actual "real class act" pick one.

[@pete3198]

Absolutely, and I've been saying this for years. There are very few big time superstars in the league, especially younger ones, who have this kind of modesty, respect, and humility. He's a genuinely nice kid and a great role model, it just makes me want to root for him even more.

[@cwags40]

He needs to quit complaining to refs so much but he still doesn’t get half the calls that most stars get. And he’s a top 5 player

[@DonIzNice1804]

JT just casually flexing the delts and arms while giving calm measured responses is gold😂😂😂😂. Get ‘em big deuce💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾😤😤😤☘️☘️☘️

[@teehoops6819]

“They wouldn’t talk about me if I wasnt good “ - Tatum

[@kjthomas4553]

So true

[@gilbertomarenco2354]

Just to hearing Jayson. I feel confident Boston will get the job done this year.

[@diver4341]

I like the attitude and the chill way he's approached the finals again. He somehow exudes confidence in a abstract way. I believe he gets the challenge deep down and the importance of the moment. He won't fail for lack of preparation. It's the Brown Tatum narrative that blurs the real Tatum who is doing quite well for himself. His mindset is fascinating and I believe the winning one.

[@deryckdeane1288]

I have no doubt that Tatum will silence his critics as Boston lifts their 18th banner

[@tiin1212]

Tatum is a model athlete on and off the court.

[@enriquesantos2775]

Danny Ainge was a genius in acquiring this amazing talent. I watched him mature myself. They gave the #1 pick for him I was like: "That's crazy" . But I'm not saying it now!! Good luck Boyz Gooooooooo CELTICS!!!!

[@coolgenuinephil3051]

Danny did an amazing job drafting both jays at #3. He had the most confidence in trading down and still believing that JT would be there at #3☘️☘️☘️☘️💪💪

[@truth3412]

Just think that trade is what allowed them to get dwhite eventually. Remember they they got an extra 1st round pick from philly. That pick became romeo langford which is who we traded(along with a few first rounders) for dwhite. So that trade down from the #1 pick got the celtics tatum and dwhite.

[@senorwavyy]

Man idk why he gets so much hate. To me I want him JB and the rest of the C’s to get a chip because they have been good and growing every year since they started

[@WaterBear616]

He reminds me more and more of Duncan with his demeanor and team first approach.

[@Robin-xt7yo]

Another class act, Tim Duncan!

Cannot ask for a better role model. Celtics are so lucky to have this person in their organization.

[@Mackin_since_94]

Absolutely love this press conference. Every response was perfect.

[@BulletAgario]

Same! Also I noticed how much more confident Tatum looks and dude is jacked, he’s going to average 35 points this series

[@dantheman8152]

Media doesn't appreciate the good guys in the league.

Everyone wants to talk about him becuase he plays for BOSTON.. we are historically HATED by every other fan base because all we do is WIN... KEEP the HATE coming this is what makes us Great. BOSTON in 5!!!!

JT is a class act and I hope he doesn't listen to jealous haters. We don't want Dray types on this team. Keep humble and classy young man! He's a great son, father, player and teammate.

[@miked5814]

Someone tell him to shut these idiots up. Please. I'm so sick of hearing nothing but lies about him.

[@spenserkao2709]

Dear humble JT, ignore on-going popularity contest, winning the championship is the only goal for yourself, for the team, and for the fans in the state and overseas!

My issue with Tatum is he will say ALL the right things in this press conference to get all of us Celtics fans hyped up!... Then proceed to go out Game 1 and start 2-9 from the field and 1-5 on 3pt shots....looking disengaged until midway thru 3rd qtr... lol BOOK IT 🤦🏿‍♂️ PS. I HOPE I'm wrong but......😮‍💨

[@ClaxtonBay123]

The first 2 questions are exactly the same.

[@robertorivera8082]

Celtics winning and raising banner 18 🎉

[@truth3412]

The only reason this guy gets any hate is because hes a celtic. If he was on any other team, the discourse around him way different. Like what is there to actually hate on about tatum?

[@Robin-xt7yo]

I hope he becomes the face of the NBA when Bron and Steph and KD retire. It would be good to have a home grown, clean cut, well-spoken, mature for his age, photogenic, elite player like JT represent the league Embiid got a lot of criticism for being on Team USA for not being American (though he got citizenship recently). So no offense to Luka but a homegrown American star like JT would be great as the new face. Steph Bron and KD are all home grown.​@@wildheart2978

[@tonyvarse7856]

Dumb questions. It’s expected for these people who doesn’t follow the Celtics often.

This man is going to burn kyrie so bad librals are going to say its a hate crime.

[@akken2112]

It's interesting that when asked about his teammate winning ECF MVP, Tatum never said Brown deserved it. Not one compliment to a teammate that played tough defense, rebounded, was more consistent and averaged 30. It tells us something about Tatum. If the Celtics win it all, it could be partially attributed to them winning despite Tatum instead of because of Tatum.

[@prassassin2828]

The problem is Kobe emulated Jordan and had his killer mentality, Tatum tries emulating Kobe but doesn’t have the killer instinct. You see Brunson, Butler, Curry, Ant-man and a few more guys in the league that rise up when facing competition Tatum disappears or goes and stands in a corner.

Your wrong my friend Tatum does have the killer instinct. Tatum has for nba allstar games . And 1 gold medal has been named first team all nba and has been to 5 conference finals and 2 nba finals now. There is no way have this resume at only 26 and not have a killer instinct mmmm.
