Jayson Tatum was candid in a wide-ranging interview with Bleacher Report’s Taylor Rooks. One thing Tatum talked about was how his Boston Celtics losing to the Golden State Warriors left him miserable for days afterward.
“Those three, four days afterward, I was miserable,” Tatum said. “I really, really was. It took some time to kinda get out of that funk and just enjoy my life, enjoy being around my son and my family.”
Tatum said what was particularly painful was himself running out of gas during the season’s biggest moment.
“It’s just tough. Sometimes I come off as so laid back, I don’t know if people understand how much I invest into this game, how much I care, how hard I work,” Tatum said. “But it was just so tough because I literally gave everything that I had. To feel like I ran out, that I didn’t have anything left to give, and we were so close. I didn’t have an appetite. I didn’t want to talk to anybody. I didn’t want to go anywhere. I was just in my house for like thee, four days straight.”
