Jayson Tatum On if He's a Selfish Player| Celtics vs 76ers Postgame |
|
BOSTON, MA -- Jayson Tatum was interviewed following Boston's 88-87 win over the Philadelphia 76ers. Although his shooting is still not up to his standards, Tatum pulled down a career-high 16 rebounds in Boston's win. "I just want to contribute and help us win," said Tatum. "Rob gets mad at me sometimes because he feels like he boxes out and I come steal the board (laughs)."
On having Robert Williams back on the floor, Tatum said "It means everything" and stressed his importance on the defensive end for Boston with his athleticism and shot-blocking potential. In regards to his playmaking and allowing his teammates to take on the scoring load, Tatum quipped "I saw a report the other day that said I was a selfish player. That seems pretty unselfish of me. There's 82 games. Sometimes you need to play off the ball too." With Jaylen Brown just recently returning from injury and struggling, Tatum said "I'm gonna be there for him, like he's been there for me. When we get down sometimes, we're just there for each other. I tell him he's gonna be the best version of Jaylen Brown. And he's gonna be." ----------------------------------------- - #celtics #NBA #CelticsCLNS The CLNS Media Network is the leading provider for video/audio content.
