The Boston Celtics kicked off the NBA’s 2024-25 season media days on Tuesday, drawing significant attention from the press. Despite a relatively stable offseason as reigning champions with nearly the entire team returning, there was no shortage of drama, particularly concerning guard Jaylen Brown and forward Jayson Tatum due to their involvement in some Olympic-sized controversies.

Brown was notably absent from the initial Team USA roster and remained overlooked, even when Derrick White was chosen over him after Kawhi Leonard withdrew during training camp. Brown openly criticized the selection process, suggesting his omission was due to corporate influences and his previous criticisms of Nike, a major Team USA sponsor. Grant Hill, the managing director responsible for team selection, has repeatedly denied these claims. Nonetheless, the team that represented the USA in Paris, including White and Tatum, succeeded in bringing home the gold medal.
With the upcoming NBA season, it seems likely that these discussions will gradually be left behind.
