Take a moment to appreciate that and be thankful for, God willing, another 10, 12, maybe 14 years in this league. You have so much more to experience.&#8217; I believe we haven\u2019t yet seen his best because he continues to work hard and is always ready to improve.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_i00qqzk5e\">\n\u201cSo I think it&#8217;s fantastic that he has these challenges to strive towards. When you&#8217;re successful, you sometimes need to look harder for new goals. It might be a defeat or a losing streak that presents this. He\u2019s got that now, right in front of him. I see it as a gift,\u201d Mazzulla added.\n<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_nzyd6j1j3\">\nDespite a solid regular season performance with averages of 23.1 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 3.5 assists while shooting 46.0% from the field and 37.5% from three, Tatum faced criticism for his three-point shooting in the playoffs. However, he excelled as a playmaker and defender, helping the Celtics win the NBA title. This criticism intensified after Tatum missed out on the NBA Finals MVP award and was benched during Team USA\u2019s games against Serbia in Paris for tactical reasons.\n<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_5ugl8lvik\">\nNow, Tatum is focused on pursuing his second NBA championship.\n<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_09ab2qzen\">\n\u201cAs his coach and someone who deeply cares about him, I think it&#8217;s wonderful because it provides him with long-term objectives,\u201d Mazzulla stated.\n<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_o761iibkw\">\nTraining camp begins Wednesday for the Celtics, who are among the favorites to make it back to the NBA Finals.
