: Recognising the Jays: Giving Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown of the Boston Celtics their due

With the window for winning NBA titles now likely shorter than it was under the league’s last collective bargaining agreement, we probably ought to appreciate the core of the storied franchise that is All-NBA Boston Celtics forwards Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum.

The duo have made Boston basketball competitive and fun for the better part of a decade, a run that might continue a bit longer than expected if they can finally get over the hump and win the long-coveted 18th banner

Now, in the depth of the summer doldrums of the 2023 NBA offseason, the hosts of the CLNS Media “First to the Floor” podcast have decided to do exactly that.

They also touch on reserve forward Sam Hauser’s likely role next season and the rest of what little news has been circulating.

If, as one of the handful of people to play for both franchises, former Boston Celtics big man Shaquille O’Neal has ever felt torn between the team he retired from and the club he won a trio of titles with, one would think he would side with the Los Angeles Lakers.

But a snub by Laker owner Jeannie Buss, who disclosed in July her all-time favorite players from the Los Angeles-based team, could tip the scales.

While the Big Aristotle seems to be taking it in stride publicly, that has not stopped others from debating just how egregious an omission it really was.

The hosts of the I Am Athlete “Paper Route” podcast recently convened to talk it over.

Check out the clip of their discussion embedded above to hear their thoughts on whether Buss did Shaq dirty with her admittedly subjective list.
