"I think it comes with being one of the best players in the league, and the more you accomplish, the more It gives people opportunity to nitpick at things." Jayson Tatum was asked about his week of online drama and criticism.

The man is a brick house when he attacks the cup, and he is not afraid to sacrifice his body on plays when the competition gets intense as well. He has won at the highest levels by sacrificing his ego and giving the team what it needs from him in ways supposed future faces of the league have rebelled against doing elsewhere.

Former NBA point guard Brandon Jennings didn’t mince words during an appearance on Gilbert Arenas’ podcast last week when it came to Tatum and his standing among Celtics greats.
