Star Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum has had his share of bad games this season. Unlike some of his poor showings in previous seasons, he has found ways to affect the game positively on nights when his shot is as cold as Antarctica’s summer.
While fans will justly point to the misses as a sign of his struggles, it should not be missed that the St. Louis native has left behind the nights full of bad body language, sulking, and complaining to the refs to the point where it takes him out of plays. And his critics will rightfully counter that Tatum could be getting to the free throw line more on those nights.
As the former Duke standout increasingly internalizes such winning habits, let’s not lose sight of the elite player he has become.
Such was the point in a recent conversation between veteran Boston broadcaster Sean Grande and the hosts of the CLNS Media “Celtics Beat” podcast.
Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what they had to say about Tatum’s growth as a player.
