We got so lucky with this guy
Marc Bertrand and Scott Zolak, co-hosts of 98.5 The Sports Hub’s *Zolak & Bertrand* radio show, went out to dinner Wednesday night with Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla, who relayed some positive news about Tatum’s recovery.
“The Celtics are very happy with how hard Jayson Tatum has been working at his rehab, and his level of focus and intensity in the rehab process,” Bertrand said.
“(Tatum) did not leave town. He has been here the entire time. … Since the injury, he has not left town and he has been inside the building at the Celtics’ facility with their people and their team almost every single day for months.
” … All summer long, all he did was take weekend trips away. He did not go away for any extended period of time, because he wanted to be back to work on his rehab.”

We are so fucking lucky he’s a Celtic.
Be prepared for the “Tatum is gearing up to return” headlines post-All Star
This man lives and breathes his son, St Louis, his mom, and Boston Celtics basketball. His work ethic is undeniable. To deny him the chance to play basketball when he is ready would be foolish.
Setting the standard
