Team USA has three members of the Boston Celtics championship-winning roster. Jrue Holiday, Derrick White and Jayson Tatum are all part of Steve Kerr’s roster for the 2024 Paris Olympics. All three of them played a significant part in helping Joe Mazzulla’s team hoist banner 18 at the end of last season.
However, having three newly crowned champions on one roster has likely led to some bragging or light-hearted joking within the roster. Steph Curry and Kevin Durant recently cracked some jokes at their teammate’s expense during a news conference. They noted how Jayson Tatum had been walking into a room and declaring that “the champ is here.”
During a recent episode of the “How ‘Bout Them Celtics” podcast, hosts Jack Simone and Sam LaFrance discussed the team chemistry on display during Team USA’s news conferences and how the trio of Celtics players have likely played a role.
