Jared Weiss: Jayson Tatum’s complete action when inquired about the media analysis over his shooting: “I respect your guys’ job, I respect the guys on TV. I don’t always agree with the things that they say. When they’re fair, and they take emotion out of it, whatever way they’re leaning towards and they’re fair, I respect it. I understand what the media has brought to our game, and more eyes, and more attention, and how everybody has benefited from that. So I wouldn’t say I take it as disrespect, right? Like I said, I don’t always agree with what they say. Maybe I feel like they’re not watching everything else that I’m doing, but that’s not my job to focus on that or give it any attention. My job is to be the best player I can be for our team any given night. Yeah, I would love to make every shot I take, and I know I can shoot better, and I will. But at this time of the season, as long as we win and we’re trending in the right direction, I know me scoring will come. I’ve done that plenty of, plenty of times. So I just try to impact the game in other ways and just dominate, dominate the game, and not be defined as just a scorer.” -by means of Twitter @JaredWeissNBA / May 13, 2024
