Since the start of the 2024 Olympic Games, Jayson Tatum’s management has been controversial.
Left on the bench during Team USA’s victory (95-91) against Serbia in the semi-finals, the Celtics superstar’s reaction has caused a lot of reaction on the web.
Team USA has many MVPs and NBA champions. Jayson Tatum, in his case, just lifted the Larry O’Brien Trophy last June while being a major player for the Celtics.
Such an distinction could be enough to make him a starter in his national team.
Except that Steve Kerr has for the moment decided to do without the Boston superstar in the important games of the Olympics.
During the last Olympics in Tokyo, the 26-year-old guard was one of the most important players in his group during the tournament.
But this team has changed a lot since then… The coach himself explained this particular management of JT.
Snubbed again during the duel against the Serbs, the latter gave the impression of being quite disappointed with the treatment he received, despite the triumph of the Americans.

While his teammates celebrated this very difficult victory against Serbia, Jayson Tatum apparently had trouble sharing this happiness with the rest of the group.
And if the third choice of the 2017 Draft has trouble finding a good alchemy with his team on the court, he also seems disconnected from his group in this image, hence the comments of some Internet users.
It is obvious that there is a second discussion group and he is not part of it.
He just wasted his time in France
Jayson Tatum is not playing the role he would have hoped for in this American selection.
So much so that he is visibly having trouble celebrating his team’s victories in these Paris Olympic Games.
It remains to be seen whether he will be as dejected if Team USA is crowned and remains stuck on the bench once again…
