BOSTON - Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum joked that his coach, Joe Mazzulla, probably sees a chance to motivate him in the disappointments of an overwhelmingly positive year that included an NBA title and a gold medal.
Even with the success, Tatum didn't win NBA Finals MVP and was a healthy scratch from two games as part of Team USA's run at the Paris Olympics.
"Motivation? I guess you could say that, if you want to simplify it," Tatum said Tuesday morning here at the team's practice facility as part of media day, which the Celtics held almost a week ahead of the rest of the NBA because of their upcoming preseason trip to Abu Dhabi to play the Denver Nuggets.
