Jayson Tatum Prepares Celtics for Title Defense

Jayson Tatum expressed the Boston Celtics' ambition to defend their NBA title and aim for more championships as the new season approaches, emphasizing their hunger for success beyond just one title. The Celtics, fresh off their 18th championship, have retained most of their championship roster, with Coach Joe Mazzulla highlighting the team's unique chemistry. Tatum, who also represented Team USA at the Paris Olympics, faced challenges including limited playing time, while teammate Jaylen Brown was controversially omitted from the Olympic squad. Both players appear motivated by their offseason experiences, with Brown using the criticism from his Olympic snub as fuel for the upcoming season. Veteran Al Horford voiced his displeasure regarding Tatum and Brown's Olympic experiences, suggesting it has galvanized the team for the new campaign. The Celtics' focus will be on overcoming potential complacency and continuing their winning tradition.
