Recent Tensions in the NBA Spotlight
Ex-NBA player Brandon Jennings recently shared his thoughts on Jayson Tatum, questioning whether the Boston Celtics forward might be the “softest superstar” the team has ever had. This topic came up during a discussion on Gilbert Arenas’ podcast earlier this month. Following a victory by the Toronto Raptors over the Celtics on a Wednesday, the Raptors heightened the controversy by posting a scoreboard snapshot alongside an image of Jennings, taking a further jab at Tatum.

Responding to these remarks after the Celtics’ convincing 121–94 victory against the Orlando Magic on Friday, the 26-year-old Tatum offered a terse and humorous reply, stating, “I don’t know, I guess I’m a big deal.” This comment was in reaction not only to Jennings’ words but also to an incident involving Scottie Barnes, who clapped in Tatum’s face during a game, as well as the Raptors’ social media post.
In retaliation to Jennings’ criticism, Tatum took to Instagram to sarcastically embrace the critique. He posted, “SoFtesT SuPeRstar in CeLtiC HiStoRy,” clearly mocking Jennings’ assessment of his toughness.

Tatum also provided more insight into the situation on January 10, reflecting on how scrutiny seems to follow success. “I think it comes with being one of the best players in the league,” he explained. According to Tatum, the more a player achieves, the more they become a target for criticism. He acknowledged that such attention is a common experience for high-profile players, suggesting that it is a part of the territory of being an NBA superstar.
Despite the critique from Jennings, which also included a mention of his teammate Jaylen Brown winning NBA Finals MVP over him, Tatum continues to build his impressive NBA resume. He is an NBA champion and a five-time All-Star, now in his eighth season.
