Jeff Teague says when he played for Boston it was always some tension between Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown:
“It wasn’t bad tension. It was competitive tension. Like, JB was the number 3 pick. JT came the next year number 3 pick. JT started immediately. JB had to work for his, you know what I mean? It was just a little competitive beef like they think he better than me kind of thing. So JB always been for the fight like, JB had his time last year. JT was out. He showed what he can do that he was an elite player. So now JB like I want to be in them same conversations they put your name in.”
