Joe Mazzulla and Jayson Tatum

Joe Mazzulla's Trust in Jayson Tatum: "He was the happiest person in the world when I didn't win the Finals MVP"

Jayson Tatum has had a successful yet strange summer. The star of the Boston Celtics has won the NBA championship ring and the gold medal at the Olympic Games, but he wasn't the Finals MVP and didn't play much in Paris 2024. This worried the 26-year-old forward, although his coach Joe Mazzulla knows it will be a source of motivation for him to perform even better from now on: "I talked a lot with Joe. Joe was probably the happiest person in the world that I didn't win the Finals MVP and that I didn't play in two of the Olympic games. That was strange. But if you know Joe, it makes sense."
