Jayson Tatum, the Boston Celtics standout, has joined Team USA for their 2024 Paris Olympics training camp after a delay due to personal reasons. He arrived in Las Vegas late Sunday night. On Monday, fans saw Tatum wearing No. 10 for Team USA, the same number once worn by Kobe Bryant, the legendary Los Angeles Lakers player.
Tatum expressed immense honor in representing the team and wearing number ten. He emphasized Kobe’s profound influence on him since childhood, inspiring him to pursue his aspirations. Tatum emphasized that this opportunity is greatly valued and not taken lightly.
As Tatum pointed out, it’s well-known among NBA enthusiasts how deeply he admires Kobe. His frequent references to his idol have occasionally led some fans to mock or become irritated with him.
Despite Tatum’s continual admiration for the Lakers legend, his recent comments about Kobe have prompted fans to once again mock him and express their frustration on social media.
