Jaylen Brown’s Hilarious Reaction To Jayson Tatum’s Olympic Woes

Jaylen Brown found himself mired in controversy last month over his reaction to three of his Boston Celtics teammates being chosen to Team USA over him.

A lot of people took issue with how he handled the whole thing, and it didn’t take long for everyone to discover the real reason he was kept off the Olympic squad.

One person who didn’t have a ton of sympathy for Brown was his Celtics teaMMAte, Jayson Tatum.

Tatum’s reaction to the entire saga speaks for itself.

Interestingly enough, once the 2024 Paris Olympics commenced, Tatum actually wound up getting a bit of karma for not coming to Brown’s aid. Head coach Steve Kerr buried him on the bench for a pretty brutal reason, and in the process did unspeakable damage to Tatum’s brand.

This week Brown was asked to comment on Tatum’s plight – and his reaction was straight up hilarious.

“I don’t have any comments right now… I’m focused on the Oakland XChange, and I’m excited about that. Jayson will be fine. Jayson Tatum will be fine,” Brown said.

Jaylen Brown was asked about Jayson Tatum’s Olympic DNP situation at an event about his new nonprofit:

Much in the same way that Tatum refused to have Brown’s back when he was excluded from Team USA, Brown seems to have zero loyalty to Tatum as well.

These two do not like each other.

Clearly Tatum and Brown don’t need to be best friends to win an NBA championship. They proved that this year. But it is still funny to see how little love between the two there truly is.
