Recently, the Celtics star sat with St. Louis Post-Dispatch. During the interview, he spoke about the differences between his time with the Celtics and his stint with Team USA.
“We had a hell of a team last year. They were so fun to be a part of that journey that we had, how we kind of dominated in the regular season and went 16-3 in the playoffs. It looked like it was easy, but it wasn’t. It was hard. It’s exciting to be able to run it back,” Tatum said.
“We have the same team coming back. We’re even more motivated to win another one, so let’s see what we can do,” he added.
