Former NBA Superstar Gets Brutally Honest on Jayson Tatum Pressure With Boston Celtics

Now in his seventh year in the league, Tatum has evolved into an effective two-way star that can impact the game on both ends of the court. Over the course of 74 games during the regular season this year, the Celtics All-Star notched 26.9 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 4.9 assists per contest.

Tatum’s dominance was in full display during the Celtics’ second round series against Donovan Mitchell’s Cleveland Cavaliers. In those five games, he tallied 26.8 points, 10.4 rebounds, 6.2 assists, and 1.6 steals. And even though he didn’t shoot the ball well from beyond the arc, averaging a double-double was definitely one of the factors that led to Boston’s victory over the Cavs.

Former NBA Star DeMarcus Cousins Gets Real On Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics

While Tatum has been consistent all year long, other personalities have given a different take on how he has been performing. Among those who gave their take on the Celtics star is former NBA star DeMarcus Cousins in a video shared by ClutchPoints on X.

As it stands, Boston’s playoff path has been relatively easy so far. They first faced a Miami Heat Team without Jimmy Butler in the first round and eliminated a Cavaliers lineup that was riddled with injuries. Now, they are matched up against an inexperienced Indiana Pacers squad and even got the first win of the series against them.

Jayson Tatum and the Celtics still have to eliminate the Pacers and defeat either the Dallas Mavericks or Minnesota in the NBA Finals to win the big one. Only then will Cousins’ claim about the Boston star be refuted.
