(sabasports resport) Celtics star Jayson Tatum (Jayson Tatum) spoke to the media after practice, asked whether the fan support brought pressure, he said it is not pressure, but unconditional support.
“You see Celtics jerseys everywhere,” the reporter asked. Does the expectation of the city increase the pressure on you in some way?”
Tatum replied, “I don’t think it’s pressure. I did notice it, especially during the playoffs, especially when we were in the Finals for the second time. When you go to the gas station, or like me yesterday to buy ice cream, there’s Celtics gear everywhere. Everyone is super excited about this team and what we’ve accomplished, and what we have a chance to accomplish.”
He continued: “You really feel the love and support from everyone in the city of Boston. How much they wanted us to win and how enthusiastically they cheered for us. So I don’t think it’s pressure, just unconditional support and the fact that we have an amazing fan base here.”
