Boston Celtics rookie Jayson Tatum has been showing out in the NBA summer league. Following a 23-point performance on Wednesday, Tatum was asked whether there are shades of Kobe Bryant in his game.
He was careful with his response: “Yeah that’s my favorite player…He was – then I went to the Celtics.”
That Lakers-Celtics beef is no joke.
