Jayson Tatum shared his only regret over Celtics' NBA Finals win
Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum recently secured his first NBA championship, cementing his status as a five-time NBA All-Star and dispelling any doubts about his capability to be a champion. However, amid the joy of victory, there is a lingering regret that dates back a couple of seasons.
Tatum, reflecting on his first NBA Finals appearance in 2022, recalled the heartache of falling to the Golden State Warriors in a 4-2 series loss that resulted in the Warriors' jubilant celebration on the Celtics' home court, the TD Garden.
This experience deeply impacted Tatum, influencing his aspirations to achieve redemption and win the championship on an opposing team's home turf, particularly the Dallas Mavericks.
In a candid sit-down interview with Sue Bird, Tatum expressed his poignant regret, admitting, "I would have preferred to win on the road, honestly. Just because I know what it felt like for somebody to win a championship on my home court, I wanted that get-back. I wanted to win in Dallas."
However, following the 2022 loss, Tatum, alongside his fellow All-Star teammate Jaylen Brown, channeled the disappointment into undeterred determination, propelling the Boston Celtics to a dominant playoff run and, ultimately, a resounding 4-1 NBA Finals victory over the Mavericks.
While the championship was secured at home, Tatum's wish to reverse the haunting memory of the Warriors' triumph remained unfulfilled.
