As the Boston Celtics gear up to defend their NBA championship, the excitement builds with the onset of the new season next month. The team is set to start their training camp this Wednesday, but not before engaging with the press during their annual media day on Tuesday, marking the commencement of the year’s activities.

Celtics’ notable player, Jayson Tatum, experienced a noteworthy summer. He played a crucial role in bringing the NBA championship to Boston for the first time since 2008. However, the spotlight shifted when Jaylen Brown, his fellow All-Star, was named the NBA Finals MVP, overshadowing Tatum’s contribution.

Adding to the intrigue, Tatum found himself on the bench for two of Team USA’s games during their journey to clinch the Olympic gold medal, fueling discussions about his significance compared to other celebrated athletes.

During the media day, questions naturally turned to how Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla reacted to the challenges Tatum faced over the summer. Tatum’s response shed light on his rapport with Mazzulla.

“I talked to Joe a lot,” Tatum mentioned on Tuesday. “Joe seemed genuinely overjoyed that I didn’t win the Finals MVP and that I missed a couple of games in the Olympics. It’s strange, but if you know Joe, it makes perfect sense,” he added humorously.

This season, Tatum is driven to silence his critics. Similarly, Brown is keen to prove himself after being overlooked for the Olympic team, despite securing the titles of Eastern Conference Finals MVP and NBA Finals MVP.

With their status as frontrunners in the Eastern Conference, the Celtics have all the motivation they need to aim for another NBA championship.
