NBA Analyst Drops A Truth Bomb On What Prevents Jayson Tatum From Being A Top 5 NBA TalentJayson Tatum (Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images)
After taking home the gold medal from the Tokyo Games, Jayson Tatum is competing for Team USA in the current Olympics. The star player for the Boston Celtics just finished a fantastic NBA season in which he earned his first title and was instrumental in his team’s victory.

Jayson Tatum has improved with time and has established himself as one of the league’s best players. Tatum eventually overcame his setback after losing in the NBA Finals and Eastern Conference Finals the year before and winning the 2024 NBA championship. Still, the criticism doesn’t appear to be going away.

NFL Legend Chad Johnson Previously Claimed That Jayson Tatum Doesn’t Have An ‘Aura’

NFL icon Chad Johnson stated that Jayson Tatum might be the NBA’s face. The legendary Cincinnati Bengals player believes that other players—like Anthony Edward or Ja Morant—are better worthy of that distinction.

Johnson said, “Ja [Morant] and Ant [Edwards] could be the face of the league, but Jayson Tatum doesn’t have the cache and personality and the aura,”

With ten points in the game, Tatum’s ten rebounds tied Ismael Romero of Puerto Rico for the most in the category. However, Jayson Tatum seemed to be losing people’s faith in him again after calling out his detractors following the 2024 NBA Finals.
