Getty Jayson Tatum of the Boston Celtics and Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors.
The Boston Celtics nearly completed one of the most impressive midseason turnovers in NBA history last season. Although they struggled to start the year, they managed to come back, making it all the way to the NBA Finals.
However, they were unable to fully complete the turnaround, as they were defeated in the Finals by the Golden State Warriors in six games. Boston’s turnover problems, stagnant offense and inexperience finally caught up with them, as the Warriors won their fourth title in eight years.
Throughout the Finals, Boston reinforced Warriors star Draymond Green. TD Garden hinted at him with chants, several players clashed with him and there was a very clear animosity between the two sides. So when Jayson Tatum posted a photo with Green on July 4, a lot of people were upset.

Tatum attended a party with a ton of other A-List athletes and celebrities, including Drake, Jay-Z, Joel Embiid, 21 Savage and even Grant Williams. But when he posted the photo with Green, Celtics fans took to Twitter to call him out.
They said he was turning his back on his teammate, Jaylen Brown, who had just gotten into it with Green on Twitter.
Brown’s Beef With Green sur Twitter
During an episode of The Old Man & The Three podcast with JJ Redick and Tommy Alter, Green reflected on an altercation he had with Brown during the finale. He said he “had” Brown after the incident, saying “I was like ‘yup, it’s over, it’s baby food, and we’re going out of here with a championship. ‘ »
Brown responded to the comments on Twitter, calling Green nerdy and that he “lost his mind.”
“You can tell whatever win you get 🌽Draymond got a podcast and lost his barrage spirit.. you could never,” Brown tweeted.
So, with Brown and Green taking to it on Twitter, fans were happy to see Tatum being all pals with the Warriors star. However, Tatum and Green have been friends for a while, so it’s no surprise to see them hanging out (even though it was in a group).
Tatum and Green’s friendship
Although Tatum and Green never played together in the NBA, they wore the same jersey in the 2020 Olympics, where they both competed on Team USA, winning a gold medal in the process.
Green once had Tatum on his podcast, where they shared stories from their time in Tokyo with Team USA, and Green showed his respect for Tatum. They even caught up after the final, sharing a moment of appreciation for each other.
Tatum’s friendship with Green has nothing to do with Brown and his Twitter beef with the Warriors star. The two are teammates, but they also have their own individual relationships, friends, and social lives.
Either way, fans aren’t happy with Tatum at the moment. Celtics Twitter ripped him a new one after photos with Green surfaced, but anything else is unlikely to come of the incident.
