Celtics star Jaylen Brown refutes rumors he and Jayson Tatum might not get along

The star Boston forwards have a firm foundation for the friendship based on mutual respect, per Brown.

For some reason, there has been a narrative around the NBA media sphere that All-Star Boston Celtics forwards Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum are not friends that has lingered despite significant evidence to the contrary.

And, apart from the argument that such a status is even necessary or important to team success, the Georgia native spoke with the media about the shared relationship the two have forged over years of playing with one another after training camp practice on Tuesday after being asked about images showing the duo celebrating Tatum’s Olympic gold over the summer at a Las Vegas club.

“I think it’s grown a lot,” suggested Brown.
