Motives for Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown of the Celtics to be…
Boston — NBA player Damon Stoudamire is well-versed in the subtleties of the game. After playing 13 seasons in the league, the former No. 7 overall pick was a well-respected veteran. Additionally, he had coached the Grizzlies for more than ten years prior to his time as the Celtics’ head coach.
Stoudamire hasn’t missed much of a beat despite being forced to the sidelines to serve as the Celtics’ interim head coach while Joe Mazzulla is out. During his two victories, which included their victory over the Clippers on Thursday, the Celtics have been raving about Stoudamire.
Throughout his playing and coaching careers, Stoudamire accumulated a significant amount of NBA mileage. This implies that he is also familiar with NBA locker rooms and player behavior. Egos obstruct the path. However, Stoudamire expressed amazement at how “humble” Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, the standout duo of the Boston Celtics, have been since he arrived.
Stoudamire remarked, “I’ve never seen a star like (Tatum), he’s kind of a throwback.” He plays and practices. Brown operates in the same manner. I’ve worked for a lot of organizations; you should be grateful for them because, as others will attest, things aren’t always this way. I simply value them because they facilitate your ability to coach them and make it easier for you to do so.
Stoudamire acknowledged that he was unaware of the stories surrounding the Celtics’ two young talents when Ime Udoka hired him before the previous campaign. Critics believed the C’s should be split up when they were having trouble getting off to a bad start.
Of course, as a team, the Celtics are doing really well right now. Last season, Tatum and Brown shown their ability to collaborate by overcoming their difficult beginning to make it to the Finals. With their current roster, the Celtics haven’t hoisted Banner No. 18, but as one of the top teams in the league, they have a fantastic chance to. According to Stoudamire, that’s where the gratitude should be expressed.
