The contrived narratives about Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are as uncompelling as they are transparent.
The narrative that Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown don't like each other and don't enjoy sharing the floor has existed for much of their careers. It's reached a crescendo during a playoff run that has lacked challengers who genuinely seemed capable of stopping the Celtics from reaching the NBA Finals.
After Boston eliminated the Cavaliers, punching its ticket to the Eastern Conference Finals, Tatum expressed about the on-court dynamic between the two: "We've been in a lot of crucial moments, regular season and playoff games, and just throughout the years, learning from our experiences." Now, they're back in the Finals, four wins from adding the Larry O'Brien Trophy to a remarkably success partnership. Despite these two just now sharing the parquet in their primes, the 27-year-old Brown has reached the NBA's final four six times in eight years. Only Magic Johnson has played on that stage more before turning 28.
