Jayson Tatum: "The night after winning the ring, I was already thinking about the next one"

The 2023/24 season finally saw the Boston Celtics project led by Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown win the NBA championship. With a dream team, the Massachusetts franchise had virtually no rivals throughout the year, securing their coveted 18th championship ring, which they must now defend.

Tatum himself recently spoke in comments reported by The Athletic. The Celtics' star ensures that he constantly has the next championship ring in mind, urging his teammates to focus on it.

"I'm of the mindset that after ring night, in a weird way, we have to put that behind us," he said. "Last year was last year. We got it. It was a dream come true. We left it all out there. But after ring night, we have to move forward. We have to get ready for the next game."

Tatum puts Olympic shame behind him

Steve Kerr hasn't made many friends in Boston. After being the best player on the best NBA team throughout the season, the Team USA coach belittled Tatum during the Olympics. Despite this, the player moves forward.

"I'm always a glass-half-full kind of guy," Tatum said. "I always believe everything happens for a reason and, whatever it is, I still don't know. But I'm sure I'll figure it out."
