After avenging a loss to the Warriors, Celtics' Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum gave Warriors and Team USA coach Steve Kerr the cold shoulder when he tried to chat with the two Boston stars.
As Kerr said, Tatum did not complain about his reduced role for the national squad, despite the fact that he was coming off an NBA championship with the Celtics at that time. Instead, the five-time All-Star humbly accepted his role for Team USA and did all he could to help the squad achieve its ultimate goal.
The drama surrounding the move has quieted down in recent months as the NBA season continued but resurfaced again on Monday. Cameras caught Celtics stars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown appearing to give Kerr the cold shoulder after Boston’s blowout win over Golden State.
Another moment that made headlines on social media was postgame talk between Steph Curry and Jayson Tatum. The two covered their mouths while the camera was on them, the clip also shows that coach Kerr trying to initiate a conversation, but was seemingly ignored by Tatum.
