In a recent interview, star Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum made a comparison between himself and Kristaps Porzingis and the former Los Angeles Lakers duo Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol. This has sparked speculation and discussion among fans and analysts.

Former Celtics champ Kendrick Perkins weighed in on the matter, expressing his surprise at Tatum’s choice of comparison.

Perkins sees Tatum’s comparison as a way of motivating Brown and encouraging him to step up his performance.
