‘I’m not doing enough’ to win a title, says Boston’s Jayson Tatum

“I did enough to get there, but it’s clearly some more you’ve got to do to get over that hump,” added the Celtics star.

You don’t have to win an NBA title to know how hard it is to accomplish. Just ask star Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum, who got to the mountaintop with the Celtics in the 2022 NBA Finals, but ultimately came up short against the more experienced and disciplined Golden State Warriors.

And it isn’t just skill, focus, and having been there before, either — a fair amount of luck is baked in as well. Injuries are almost certain to happen over the course of four, highly-intense seven-game series, so the question then becomes how important the player hurt is to the team’s title hopes, whether there’s enough depth to make up for that — and how long that injury might have them out.

The St. Louis native recently weighed in on the grueling ride that is the pursuit of a title on a recent episode of the “Point Forward” podcast, revealing how much he’s learned about what goes into winning it all.
