The Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown drama is showing no signs of stopping.
The two basketball players formed an incredible partnership at the Boston Celtics and even won the NBA Championship together. However, that relationship seems to be broken now, leading to a lot of back-and-forth.
Now, a former teammate of both Tatum and Brown has had his say on the situation.
Blake Griffin speaks out about the Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown drama
Tatum recently claimed that he had no idea that Brown was being traded to the Philadelphia 76ers until it actually happened.
The latter watched that clip and responded with a ‘cap’ emoji, seemingly suggesting that the Celtics hero was lying.
Tatum responded by saying that he has no ‘beef’ with Brown, but after the 76ers’ win against the Bucks, the new Sixers star told his old teammate to ‘stay ready at all times’.
This is just a bit sad to see, especially for Blake Griffin, who shared the locker room with both players and watched how close they were at the time.
The retired power forward has had his say on the situation, and he is adamant that Tatum really does care about Brown.
He said on NBA on Prime: “I just feel a little bit disappointed, and I think watching that clip and hearing Jayson talk, you can hear the disappointment in his voice because he is exactly right.
“The narrative, the conversation should be that these two guys were All-NBA. They were in the playoffs every year, leading a franchise, winning a championship, you know, from 19 on. They were both 19 when they got drafted. So, I don’t know. Really disappointing.
“Also, being their teammate, being inside the locker room, I know JT cares about him.”
Griffin concluded by saying: “Both of them should keep in perspective what they’ve accomplished and not be short-sighted about what has happened over the offseason. Their relationship is special. It’s not often guys have those types of careers and win a championship for a storied franchise like Boston.”
The Celtics take on the 76ers on November 10 in Philadelphia, and all eyes will be on Brown and Tatum. It will be interesting to see if they will squash their feud then or keep this going.
