We wondered if Tatum’s teammates, who have seen him grinding away in the weight room throughout the offseason, were as surprised as the rest of us.
“He looks like he’s going to be ready for opening night,” joked superstar running mate Jaylen Brown. “Just somebody with a crazy work ethic and passion for the game. So I’m not surprised.”
Even seeing Tatum’s relentless effort on a daily basis, his teammates still marveled at how far he’s come in a short time.
please, can we focus on the rest of the team’s preparation for the season and how they play as a unit without him?
smh at the constant stream of JT rehab stories
It’s an obvious bummer to come into the season knowing the championship ain’t happening but I’m looking forward to watching the development. I had a blast despite the losses during those early rebuild years. Seeing guys compete and who we get surprised by is a really engaging part of the NBA for me.
