Jayson Tatum says Celtics title shifted narrative about him: ‘I’ve done some things they can’t debate’

The questions about whether Jayson Tatum could lead the Celtics to a championship have been answered.

Now there are new questions, about whether or not the Celtics can repeat and whether their spending is sustainable.

But for now, the weight of winning that first title has been lifted, and Tatum is enjoying his new status as a champion.

“You know, just being the topic of discussion of so many debates or whatever it is. ‘Can he lead a team? Is he a top-five player?’ ” Tatum said, according to Adam Himmelsbach of The Boston Globe.
