‘I’ll text him later’: Jayson Tatum didn’t talk to Tom Brady after winning gold medal

As a sports superstar in the New England area, Jayson Tatum has had plenty of opportunities to meet Tom Brady.

So when Tatum’s Team USA teammates called the former Patriots star following their gold medal victory at the Tokyo Olympics this past summer, Tatum couldn’t be bothered to walk to the back of the bus and speak to the defending Super Bowl champion.

“I know Tom,” Tatum said on a recent episode of the Knuckleheads podcast with former NBA players Quentin Richardson and Darius Miles, which was released on Tuesday.

Tatum’s offhanded remark understandably drew laughter and gentle derision from Richardson and Miles.
