Jaylen Brown Says Relationship with Jayson Tatum About “Respect”

BRIGHTON, MA — Jaylen Brown, Ime Udoka, Enes Kanter, & Romeo Langford spoke to reporters on Wednesday after the Celtics second training camp practice.

Brown spoke at length about his relationship with Jayson Tatum. Some in the media have questioned how close the two teammates are and whether their styles are compatible on the court.

Brown said that his relationship with Tatum is centered around respect.

“I think the media likes to dichotomize things and put one thing against the other like it has to be a Batman and a Robin. Or one guy and the other guy can’t be whatever,” Brown said. “We’re just two guys that can hoop and the reality is two guys that can hoop can coexist. But the media wants to kind of sometimes write the story that pulls us apart.

“But we talk a lot. We don’t let it bother us. We hear a lot of the things, comparisons, etc. But at the end of the day I want the best for him, he wants the best for me.

“We both put a lot into this game, regardless of what I do off the court or what people think I do off the court. I respect Jayson and he is one of the best players in this game…I think he can be one of the best players when it’s all said and done. I think the same about myself. So, I think respect is what the relationship is centered around.”
