‘They just built a dynasty’: Why one of Jayson Tatum’s former teammates benching will benefit the star and the Celtics

Several former Celtics stars, NBA players, family members, and more have come to Jayson Tatum’s defense after he was benched for a second time during the Olympics in the United States’ win over Serbia on Thursday.

Jeff Teague is looking at a possible bright side of the situation though for Tatum and his team back home. The former Celtics guard believes that Kerr’s decision to bench Tatum on multiple occasions, along with USA Basketball’s decision to keep Jaylen Brown off the roster, will motivate Boston to win a couple of more titles in the future.
