Although he nearly reached the top of the mountain in the NBA Finals this past season, Celtics star Jayson Tatum revealed that coming up just short of his first championship hurt so badly that he found it difficult to function in the days following his team’s loss to the Warriors.
In an exclusive interview with Bleacher Report’s Taylor Rooks, Tatum opened up about his emotions after Boston lost to Golden State in six games. He spoke candidly, sharing that he struggled to enjoy the days after Game 6 and found himself in a “funk.”
“Those three, four days after (the NBA Finals), I was miserable. I really, really was,” Tatum explained. “It took some time to get out of that funk and just kind of enjoy my life and enjoy being around my son and my family.
