The Boston Celtics stormed to the 2024 NBA championship. Both Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown helped lead the franchise to its first title in 16 years. However, both stars have found themselves embroiled in controversy with Team USA in the following month.
Brown wasn’t selected for the initial Team USA roster and was overlooked as a replacement for Kawhi Leonard, with Derrick White getting the call instead. Tatum was benched for the team’s opening game of the 2024 Paris Olympics despite being fully healthy and ready to play. Celtics fans have questioned both decisions, with both emerging as genuine talking points.
In a recent episode of NESN’s “Hold My Banner” podcast, the host discusses the two controversies along with the notion of there being a conspiracy theory against Boston’s two best players.
