Melo is a hall of famer, gold medalist & one of the best bucket-getters in NBA history. In fact, outside of Kobe, he was the player we studied/stole from more than anyone when JT was in high school.
My tweet wasn’t downplaying how good he was as a player. It was addressing Melo’s comments suggesting JT needed to take a backseat in order to win.
JT is an NBA champion & 14-6 in playoff series. He knows how to win.
Just think the media, especially former players like Melo who knows JT rocks with him, should be celebrating the fact that JT has worked his ass off to give himself a chance to get back on the court this season instead of dropping hot takes.
I don’t give a fuck about Chisholm saving a dollar. I care tremendously about the Celtics being able to go into the summer with full flexibility to upgrade their roster in a meaningful way. Fact that Brad & Zarren accomplished that while upgrading the ‘26 roster is obscene.
"It's time to break up the duo and I'm saying it with the utmost confidence... They don't complement each other well... I have never seen Jayson Tatum & Jaylen Brown link up one time [during the summers]... It's time for change."
