Dedicated followers of the NBA may be aware of the collaboration between former NBA player JJ Redick, host of the “Old Man and the 3” podcast, and Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James for a new podcast. Even more keen observers have listened to the podcast, particularly focusing on James’ remarks regarding star Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum.

In response to this, the hosts of the CLNS Media “How Bout Them Celtics!” podcast conducted an in-depth analysis of the new podcast episode and LeBron’s commentary regarding Tatum’s performance this season. Below, you can watch the embedded clip to gain insights into their discussions about the new podcast and the discussions surrounding Tatum.

At Tatum’s current age, LeBron had already established himself as a household nамe, transitioning from a phenom to becoming the face of the league. He was consistently dominating games statistically, although, unlike Tatum, he didn’t have the luxury of playing alongside an elite group of teammates. Instead, LeBron carried the оffеnꜱιυе burden into the postseason, where his Cleveland Cavaliers faced repeated disappointments. Tatum celebrated his 26th birthday on March 3rd, while LeBron was 27 when he reached the pinnacle of his career. LeBron’s sentiment holds weight, as many NBA legends had to endure a journey before solidifying their legacies.

Despite Tatum’s impressive achievements, including four Conference Finals appearances and a Finals appearance before the age of 26, some NBA icons like Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, Bill Russell, Larry Bird, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar managed to secure championship titles before reaching Tatum’s current age. However, many of these players found themselves in situations where they joined teams ready to contend for titles. On the other hand, stars like LeBron experienced multiple frustrating seasons with organizations struggling to assemble the right supporting cast.
