ESPN's Mike Greenberg gets slammed for trying to create power dynamic issue between Boston Celtics superstars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown

Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown just ensured that the Boston Celtics return to the NBA Finals after missing out last season. Brown especially put up the best playoff series performance of his career. That performance rewarded him with the Eastern Conference Finals MVP trophy. But from the visuals of that trophy celebration, ESPN’s Mike Greenberg brought a wild take that left fans fuming.

When Jaylen Brown wins that award and the moment that it happens. The rest of the team just goes crazy. They were all so genuinely excited for him. You did not seem to think that it was mirrored in Jayson Tatum.

Mike Greenberg talked about this situation with co-panelist Udonis Haslem suggesting that the superstar was possibly upset with Brown winning the award. However, the video they showed depicted something else.

The video clearly showed Jayson Tatum with a beaming smile and patting Brown on the head. It is evident that he is genuinely happy for Jaylen Brown who has been playing alongside him for 7 years now. They have constantly evolved to try and bring an NBA title to the Celtics.
