As Jayson Tatum stood on the stage, the pandemonium swirling around him, confetti at his feet, Jay Z and Alicia Keys blaring, he looked placidly over the scene inside Barclays Arena with an air of nonchalance.
This was, after all, what he came to Duke to do. To dominate. To win titles. Tatum was the best player on the court in the ACC tournament, even if Luke Kennard ended up winning the vote for those honors.
There was very little about the celebration that seemed to provoke much enthusiasm. It was very much business as usual for Tatum.
