Tatum on his relationship with Jaylen:
“The expectations were so high, they had to figure out a reason why we hadn’t won yet. So they tried to pin us against each other.”
“The truth is we had 9 amazing years together… I’ll forever be grateful for the time we spent together.”
Jeff Teague says the Jaylen Brown hate makes ZERO sense after being teammates on the Celtics.
"They just start making up shit about him. I played on a team with him, he a cool ass n***a. He stays to himself. He still f*ck with everybody, talk to everybody cool... He doesn't do anything wrong, he doesn't hate on nobody."
Jeff Teague on Shams Charania report on Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown personal relationship:
“Don’t nobody be cool with people like that on a team, bro. I’m going to tell y’all the truth don’t nobody hang with nobody for real, for real, like you might have a couple people that hang but people be work homeboys. I think about all the teammates I was cool with when I was on the team we done had some of them, “You want to do the pod?” They like Nah, I ain’t fu*k with you, I be like damn I used to what the fu*k, it just ain’t my homeboy.”

Landon says you would've had to drag him off the field in a World Cup knockout game.
"The reality is, Tim, [Pulisic] came out of a World Cup knockout game at home with his leg still intact. I'm saying this to you, Tim, and you know it because you've played with me, you would've had to fucking drag me off the field. And I would've punched the doctor in the face and said, 'You're not taking me off the field. Put whatever you need to put in me, and I'm staying on the field.' I told you this before, I never shared this publicly until a few months ago, I played with a torn hamstring against Ghana after the Algeria game. Nobody knew about it. I didn't have to tell anyone. There was no drama around it. I just did it."
Bob Myers defends Jaylen Brown after Max Kellerman said analytics don’t favor him. Myers points out, “You know who else analytics didn’t favor? Klay Thompson. Analytics doesn’t value the nuances of the game like shutting down the opposing teams best player
My debut World Cup… it hurts to wait 4 years to compete at the highest level our sport has to offer. I want to say sorry to our fans it was not good enough when it mattered most and we let you down
Soccer in America will only become bigger the belief, the talent, and the passion is continually growing and I know the best days are in front of us, the future belongs to those who never stop believing, this moment will fuel us. We will be back
Why not us?
For the nation. For the flag.

Pulisic lost me as a fan w/ this performance. Either he comes back in 4 years and makes amends or I don’t want to hear him mentioned in the same breath as Donovan or Dempsey
*Zlatan on Messi missing the PK*
“Everyone misses PK’s. I’ve missed PK’s, Thierry has missed PK’s… Alexi was never asked to take PK’s so he couldn’t miss…” 😬😬
