Jayson Tatum is seen during the games imploring Brown to be aggressive. No individual award is standing in the way of his goal of ultimate team success. “Man, I want everybody to be at their best. I want everybody to contribute. Winning will take care of everything,” Tatum told B/R. “Finals MVP or whatever, a champion is a champion. That’s the goal. I want for my teammates what I want for myself. I want everybody to shine. There’s enough attention for all of us. And so, I want everybody to give us theirs.”

Grant Williams on Jayson Tatum: “I feel like he definitely receives a lot of criticism that he doesn’t necessarily need or deserve. I think people nitpick him because of his talent across his team, and they expect him to lead and perform at this level. But when you’re surrounded by the people he’s surrounded by, he can have an off night. At the same time, you gotta allow a little bit of grace. This guy has been a 25-point-per-game scorer over almost his entire career, getting triple doubles night in, night out, and leading a team. Читать дальше...

Kendrick Perkins: “Kyrie Irving, if he was 6’6”, he’d be the best player in the league. If he was 6’6″, he would go down as a top-five greatest player of all time, but he’s not 6’6″. But he’s still the most skilled player to ever play the game. It just goes to show you if an organization treats you right like they supposed to, boy, you just get the best out of your franchise guys.”

Kendrick Perkins on Charles Barkley’s comments: “I don’t mind to be a punching bag, I don’t mind that. But don’t call me no damn roach, bro. I ain’t on that. Don’t call me no roach, bro. Come on, dog. That’s the worst of the worst. From another black man to another black man, you can’t never call nobody no roach. You might as well spit in my face. That was raw. We kill roaches in black neighborhoods. Roaches everywhere. Come on, man. As a black man to another black man, you can’t never call nobody no roach. Читать дальше...

One thing worth noting on both Anunoby and Hartenstein: The Knicks obviously know that both players will garner strong interest from opposing teams. But even factoring that in, members of the organization felt earlier in the offseason that they were in a good place on both Anunoby and Hartenstein as both players approach their free agencies. That’s according to people in touch with the team after their season ended in a second round loss to Indiana.
