It’s also a terrible way to defend him. The best way to guard Jayson it’s with an athletic and long wing and switching everything. It’s harder to do that with KP on the team

However, the CBS crew wasn’t going to let him go without getting in a basketball question. The co-hosts asked Tatum about recent comments from Hall of Famer Charles Barkley, who argued that the Celtics are “not mentally tough enough” to win a championship right now.
They asked Tatum: Does Barkley have a point? In response, the Celtics star took the high road.
“I mean you have to give the respect, right?” Tatum said. “Those are the guys that paved the way for the younger players like myself.”
Co-host Gayle King, who hosts a CNN show with Barkley, interjected to say, “I hear a ‘but’ coming.”
“You don’t always have to agree,” Tatum continued, with a laugh. “But you have to, in a sense, respect it because of the work that they put in. I understand that in the times that we’re in. You can’t win it – nobody can win a championship until you do it. So nobody’s going to give us the credit until we actually do it and that’s fine.”

Soft response tbh. Should've called Chuck a bitch

That hasn’t worked on Tatum this year, regardless. Has too many arrows in his quiver at this point. Those long defenders just get wrecked in the post now.
