Jayson Tatum NBA All-Star Media Availability

About the allstar game makes it so great to play in and what about it makes it um um a great presence to be in that’s a great question what’s your name Jeremiah Jeremiah uh what makes it special I think just the history of it the you

Know when I was your age watching my favorite players uh you know compete and play an All-Star Game and make highlights uh it was a very special weekend for me to watch and I could only dream and imagine of one day being able to wear that

Jersey and um you know live out my dream and uh 5 years ago I made my first allstar game and I’ve been fortunate enough to make it every single year and just everything about Allstar Weekend um is special and uh the game is you know super exciting you get to play with guys

That you normally competing against um so you know that makes a differ as well and uh you just get to share the court with with with some of the greatest players ever played and uh you know it’s just memories you’ll have for the rest of your life thank you go ahead in the

First front center Jason you have a huge fan community of kids in Mexico and Latin America what piece of advice would you get in from your career piece of advice yes um you know I always just follow your heart follow your dreams right U never let somebody tell you what

You can or can’t do and uh you know people not laughing at your dreams you probably not dreaming big enough so um you know reach for the Moon over here left side third row yeah um what do you think about the season of Victor banama and do you think deserve

The work of the your title thank you uh yeah he’s having a great year um you know unlike any other player we’ve you know probably ever seen at this point uh you know I think he he for sure deserves to be in a conversation some other great

Rookies out there uh Chad hram and OKC I think you know those will probably be the two guys off the top of my my head right now but uh yeah I love watching him play he’s going to be obviously incredible for a very long time so yeah

Just uh you know he’s having a great year and you know U continue to keep watching him doing great things David back Center uh David Aldridge the athletic Jason you have been bestowed with the powers of the commissioner you can do anything you want you can make

One change in the NBA what would you do one change um it’s a funny one if you get a tech right bear with me if you get a tech for overreacting to a call and you were right like if they go back and look and you know the coaches

Do the challenge and they overturn the call that Tech should be rescinded you should get your money back if you get a tech for overreacting to a call that that was deemed incorrect or whatever you should get your money back Tim on the right side I’m very

Surprised that your uh suggestion um I think it’s a fair one uh you mentioned before about how you’ve been watching the officer game for a long time since you were like his age as a kid obviously LeBron has been front and center basically that entire time was basically

The face of the league as curious is he’s nearing the end of his career who do you see is stepping into sort of that presence going forward whenever he does eventually leave the stage and is that something you’ve envisioned you potentially being able to do uh absolutely um and I think they’re

The the league is in a great place right now the the amount of High character guys the amount of talent throughout the NBA uh you know the fact that LeBron and Katie and and Steph are still you know considered one of the best 10 whatever you know players in the league right now

At their age and U how long they’ve been playing is incredible as well as all the younger guys you know whether it’s guys my age or the guys you know a little bit older with the yage is and Giannis so you know guys younger than me um so I

Think the the league is in a great place uh but yeah when when LeBron retires you know the face of the league uh that’s tough but you know we win a championship I got something to say about it I know that take last two here

And then over on the second row at your young age you a respect on the Boston Cel distin if you have someone to thank for the person that you are today who will be in why if I had one person to think of who I am today yeah like in the

Entire world yeah thank you for the person that you are today oh my will it be my mom um easy answer my mom raised me to be the the young man that I am today uh I give her all the credit um you know for all my good qualities you

Have a idol in the basketball Kobe Kobe Bry that was uh that was my idol and the guy that inspired me to um ultimately get to the point where I am today and strive to be the best version of myself
