Boston Celtics superstars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown just proved to the entire basketball world that there should be no doubt as to their status as one of the top duos in the game today. The fact that they just led the Celtics to championship No. 18 is an undeniable testament to this fact.
Despite having incredible chemistry on the basketball court, these two don’t really see eye to eye off it — at least according to Skip Bayless.
Boston Celtics News: Skip Bayless Drops Truth Bomb on Jayson Tatum-Jaylen Brown Relationship
One of the hottest topics in the NBA today is Brown taking a shot at Nike for their supposed role in the Boston star missing out on a chance to play for Team USA. Bayless, along with Celtics icon Paul Pierce, discussed the issue in a recent episode of Undisputed.
Skip pointed out that Tatum happens to be one of the biggest endorsers of Nike, which may put him in an awkward position now that his Celtics teammate appears to have attacked the global sportswear brand. Bayless believes, though, that Tatum has just grown tired of Brown’s antics altogether:
“He is a Nike guy,” Skip said of Tatum “… It smells like Jayson Tatum and Jaylen [Brown] just don’t really get along… He’s saying, ‘Hey, I just need a break. I don’t have to live with him for [another whole] month.”
This sounds more like an opinion from one of the most respected sports analysts in the game as opposed to a substantiated report. Either way, as they always say, when there’s smoke, there’s fire.
For his part, it seems that Skip Bayless just has a knack for always finding himself in these types of smokey situations.
