A lot has been made of star Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum in the 2024 Paris Olympics, playing for the US National Team. Critiques about his jump shot, his style, and pace of play, and even about likely imaginary grudges between the St. Louis native and Team USA Coach Steve Kerr have taken on their own life.
Tatum may be getting consistent minutes for Team USA, but is Kerr actually using him properly? Is the Duke alum a victim of his elite diversity as a basketball player? Or is this a way to distract ourselves from the US National Team steamrolling their way towards a gold medal? The hosts of the CLNS Media “First to the Floor” podcast, Jake Issenberg, Ben Vallis, and Wayne Spooney, took a closer look on a recent episode.
Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say.
