Hopefully, the only game we ever see Boston Celtics All-NBA forward Jayson Tatum defending his Celtics teammate Jaylen Brown is the All-Star Game, but we’d be lying if we said we weren’t here for it.
In a defensive sequence in the game’s second frame, Brown ended up squaring off with his Boston teammate Tatum, the latter clearly relishing in the matchup. The Duke product even went so far as to slap the floor as the elder Celtic sized up his — just for the exhibition game — opponent, a matchup both had spoken to the press about ahead of taking the floor that day.
You will have to watch the video for yourself to see how it ended up going down, but it was an instant classic worth a few moments of your time.
