NBA legend Carmelo Anthony advises ‘humble’ Jayson Tatum to ‘talk sh**’ after winning championship

The Boston Celtics star man Jayson Tatum has been making the headlines lately after former NBA legend Carmelo Anthony‘s recent statements about him. Notably, Anthony gave Tatum important advice on the 7 PM in Brooklyn Podcast regarding his “humble” attitude, telling him to “talk Sh*t” because he just won an NBA title with the Celtics in the past 2023-24 NBA season.

Anthony claimed on the podcast that Tatum has been one of the best players in the NBA for his side, leading them to an NBA title. Anthony also told Tatum that it would be better if the Celtics star made more efforts to shut down his critics, asserting him to “talk sh*t” because he is coming off an NBA title-winning season.

I want more of you than that Champ! I don't want to cut you off. I just want more of that (shutting down his critics and naysayers) from you like..You won! You did It!..You sit at a different level of people when it comes to a small group of people who've done it.

On the 7 PM in Brooklyn Podcast, Carmelo Anthony said

On the contrary, Tatum is currently with the Team USA camp getting ready to continue his winning form at the 2024 Paris Olympics. In addition, Team USA and Tatum will be completely focused on getting the gold medal for their nation and their fans. It remains to be seen now how Tatum and Co. will perform in the upcoming competition.

Recently on the 7 PM in Brooklyn podcast Tatum opened up on his tenure with the Celtics and his teammate Jaylen Brown alongside NBA legend Carmelo Anthony.

I was 19, he (Jaylen Brown) was 20 when I first got to the league. We were still figuring out our personal life, our family, just navigating through this thing called the NBA with so many expectations of being with Boston. We play on national TV every other night, there's a lot of things that come with that. We had to learn that we needed each other.
