Jayson Tatum cited being in a “weird rhythm” when discussing his performance at the Paris Olympics.
“I know I didn’t make a jump shot when I was with Team USA,” the Celtics star told the New York Times. “I don’t know, law of averages. It’s a weird rhythm thing being with Team USA; you never exactly know when you’re gonna get the ball. But that’s part of it. You sign up for that because I’ve done it before (at the Tokyo Games).”
