In the first episode of the podcast with JJ Redick, “Mind The Game”, the ‘King’ commented on the career of the Celtics star
LeBron James paid many compliments to Jayson Tatumin the debut episode of his podcast, “Mind The Game”, which aired this Tuesday, 19. Along with the former player and presenter JJ RedickKing spoke about the successful career of the Brazilian winger Boston Celtics.
“He’s 25 years old (he turned 26 in early March) and I think he’s been to the conference finals four times and the NBA finals once. He’s 25. I didn’t win my first title until I was 28. […] Obviously everyone wants to see him go through this challenge, but four conference finals and a final before 26 is elite,” said James.

No narratives. Just pure basketball.

Tatum can already be considered one of the 10 best players in the league, even at 26 years old, he already has appearances in All-Stars, conference finals and an NBA final. Despite the criticism, having not yet won a championship with the super teams assembled by the Celtics, the number 0 still has time to achieve this achievement. LeBron came to the winger’s defense and compared him to historic players in the league.
“I think the ‘Joker’ (Nikola Jokic) won his first at 27. I think ‘MJ’ (Michael Jordan) was 28 too. I think we have a lot of expectations for JT, but he has already experienced many victories in his career”, he added.
