James: Neither Tatum nor Brown will be complacent easily, they both have strong hearts

Lakers forward LeBron James updated his podcast program "Mind The Game", and the topic of this issue is - the tactical initiator in the NBA arena.

The recording time of this podcast is around May 12, when Tatum had not suffered an Achilles tendon injury.

Speaking of Celtics players Jason Tatum, James and Nash both said that Tatum's growth in organization is the main reason why the Celtics remain competitive.

Nash: "Look at many players nowadays, such as Tatum, who was actually more like a scorer when he first entered the league. But now he is often responsible for dribbling, attacking, leading pick-and-roll, and gradually growing into a real "initiator". As long as he breaks through to the inside and divides the ball, the team's offense will immediately become extremely threatening. This is why the Celtics will become a historically strong team."

James: "Yes, I think their Celtics are NBA history is a very strong team. The last thing an opponent wants to see is being trapped in a defensive rotation by their offense - because there are too many players in their team who can do a variety of things (can shoot, pass, and break through). They have too many players who can shoot, dribble, and create attacks by themselves, such as Jason Tatum. Tatum can break the opponent one-on-one and break into the inside, and then you have to arrange your No. 4 or No. 5 to block him from the weak side, Horford or Porzingis, he doesn't Waiting at the basket, but standing outside the three-point line. Once Tatum splits the ball, you have to start the round of defense conversion, which will become a situation of supplementary defense and chasing defense. At this time, Tatum will pass the ball to Jaylen Brown, or Derek White, or Holiday, or Prichard. Now this attack is the top of the league. "

"I think Tatum's growth has allowed them to do this better, and of course it is also due to their personnel composition and their lineup Many changes have been made, and Porzingis and Holiday have been traded. Horford is also a very smart player. I have been fighting him all my life, and I know his level. The growth of Tatum and Brown has also made Mazula play more diversely. They have that kind of dissatisfied mentality, not that kind-"You know, actually, I have performed very well in the first four years of the league. If I keep that development trajectory, just "going with the flow" will be a high probability of entering the Hall of Fame. But I want to continue to grow. If I can continue to grow, our team will also improve with it. I think Tatum (JT) and Brown (JB) did that. ”
