- Jayson Tatum joins Point Forward the Podcast this week! Last week, we flew to Boston to talk with the four-time NBA All-Star about growing up in St. Louis, raising his son in the spotlight, and the weight that comes along with wearing a historic Boston franchise across your chest. And for the age of only 25? He’s doing pretty damn good.
Speaking of MVPs, the NBA is heading to Las Vegas this week for the in-season NBA Tournament. And while we still think there are way too many awards in circulation, we were very curious about the performances of two standouts in the current race for in-season NBA Tournament MVP: the young Tyrese Haliburton who is still going strong and the recently knocked-out De’Aaron Fox. And you know Andre had some thoughts on Fox after last year’s playoff series!
Tune in for the latest hoops insights and engaging sports talk with your hosts, former NBA teammates and lifelong friends, Andre Iguodala and Evan Turner.

When JT talked about how much love he gets from Boston fans and how incredible it *WILL* be when he brings home banner 18, that gave me goosebumps. I neeeeddd itt
The fans want him gone every time we lose a big game 😂. Bostons casual fans are the worst! They really blamed him for losing to the Pacers the other day even though he had 30+. 😂😂 I love him man and I wish he never leaves Boston. Y’all don’t know what you have until it’s gone! Any team would love to have him!
@@cvgodd1432what fans? maybe jb yea they be torchin him but jt? nah ya buggin😂😂😂
@@milidagoat1630 go through Celtics media comment section. I just read one that said “JT sucks, even though he dropped 30 he doesn’t share the ball. Trade Tatum for a real star!”
@@cvgodd1432 real knowledgeable celtic fans would never say that, idk if they would even say that about JB either. It's the toddler or geriatric celtic fans that say dumb shit like that.
@@cvgodd1432 casual fans and trolls don’t represent the entire Boston fan base. Everybody always be talking shit about Boston.
man that was great love JT speaks like a 40 year old and not 25, i think there will be a change in the all star game this year and i really hope to see the best players really go at each other
All star game has always been wack
@@TheKingofsoccor and the regular season was wack 2 look what the IST did this year IMO you can still save the all star game
@@user-yv6lj3qg8qthe whole weekend fr
Very well spoken for a 19 year old.
Aged like milky wilky
Wow. This interview had me locked in! Love how vulnerable it got. JT showed so much maturity and self-awareness. Iggy was so passionate with his questions and advices. Evan got the interview to flow so smooth and added humor at the right times. This is my fave episode by far!
yeah this was really well done, well said.
@@ricksanchez3675 I appreciate it!
Jt is so special to me as a player and to see Iggy and ET pay him THIS much respect and remind him, once again, he’s not just special - he’s special special - all time special. How tf did I get so blessed as a sports fan to have Tom Brady and Jayson Tatum play for my teams?!? It’s incredible. I don’t watch college ball, but I watch summer league every year and I knew from the first play in that first summer game. I had just bought a Hayward jersey, but I refreshed that team store constantly until I could get Tatum’s, and the rest history! ☘️❤
This was a great conversation. Need a JB solo and when they win the chip one with both. Keep up the great work!
So dope to see Iggy and ET let JT know how important he is to the game! Rumble young man rumble
Iggy dropped some gems 💎 on JT, salute
In gawd
On all of us
Awesome interview! Love seeing JT open up and show us the man behind the player. GO CELTICS!
I’m definitely tryna hear more about the Miami playoff gameplans. That sounds next level for real.
It’s deep here in Miami. We as fans know. Like even when it comes to “player development”, ppl don’t know that Spo literally will lock himself in a gym with a player and give them the ball till they make 75/100 3s while cursing at em.
This is why when ppl doubt the Heat we just understand they don’t know ball on the level that we do, and that’s only cause we watch the genius that is also. We feel we can beat anyone.
Evan turner would cry if that happens
Just those gems are enough. Now he’ll go look at film and find some of those cadences
Definitely one of my favorite interviews, I love how much game Andre and Evan naturally passes on to the next generation of players. It is so important.
As a Boston fan that has given JT a lot of smoke over the years It’s good to see how dedicated he is to bringing the city a championship I definitely wanna hear more about Miami game plans if I’m him
His lite skinned .. bad shot taking azz.. need to step his game up!!!! I like chips.. other than Reggie Lewis... No chip u trash!!!
Miami mucks the game up. They do things that you should do when you see it from afar. Miami playing that zone, they left the middle open knowing Boston would not attack and would pass it out for the three. When they played zone against Jokic, he ate that defense up and Miami had no Plan B to win that series.
@@therealdarrell282Celtic figured it out as well... That injury in game 7 to JT hurt his game
@@therealdarrell282 jokic Murray only so much u can do on defense iguodala is a great person to speak to about nba defensive coverages
JT bro I need a ring 💍 from him no cap f them mvps get that Larry
Man LOVE that Dre basically told JT that he aint steph and he way too good to be settling for those tough contested 3’s way out on the perimeter
Those logos on the Bulls court are literally why the double high post set is called "horns". You always learn something when you listen to these brothers.
🙌🏾🙌🏾
Love JT! Drafting him was a blessing! ☘️
THE BEST JAYSON TATUM INTERVIEW EVER! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When JT said how much he feels loved now and how much praise he will get when he wins a championship gave me chills
Iggy breakdown of the Miami defensive scheme and giving JT them Nuggets about how close out playoff games was dope I hope JT looks at this every playoff series cause he has all the tools to win us a title!!
Iggy said the mvp of the in season tournament is really just the mvp of tuesdays and fridays😂
Great Interview, hearing Andre talk about defensive scheme and getting the ball in certain spots had me locked in!
Iggy dropped a massive nugget for JT with the live dribble stuff. Im sure behind closed doors he's heard it but to actually see that convo take place has me very hopeful that JT uses that to start adjusting his game, especially in the playoffs. That's next level stuff
As usual Andre & ET save my Wednesday. Wine industry means extra hrs at work but your conversation & interviews keep getting better. Insightful conversation with JT. Thanks again guys
This podcast is filled with nothing but positivity and the word of God in between Salute 🙏🏿
My Favorite Player Man. I Want Him To Win So Bad Man The Hate For Him Is Insane. He’s Been A Victim Of His Success. He Came In The League From Day 1 And Has Been A Winner. Making Deep Post Season Runs , Competing & Looking Some Of The Best Players To Ever Play The Game Eye To Eye And Holding His Own. When You Come In And Win Right Away And Time Goes By And You Haven’t Won The Title The Question Gone Be “Can He Get It Done?” Same Way They Treated LeBron. I Love What Iggy Talked About Him Playing Off Of Spots , The Elbow , The Low Post And Dominating In The Mid Range It’s Really Gone Push Him Over The Top And I’ve Seen Him Doing It This Year He Just Needs To Stay There & Stay Committed To It. I Like Their Chances As Long As They Can Stay Healthy. Need Alot Of Luck And Things To Go Your Way You Can Only Control What You Can. I Hope They Win Tho So Everybody Can Get Off His Back. Let’s Go JT🤞🏾!
Haters aren’t real fans, they just want instant gratification and don’t understand what it takes to win. Tbh, winning is so much sweeter when you ride with a team and player through all the ups and downs. It’s like an emotional, deep connection you have with sports that. It is all about the championship and winning, but the journey there is WHY it’s so special.
@@SW-lx3luDefinitely. The Journey Makes It’s Special. I Truly Feel It’s Their Time🙏🏾. Gotta Stay Locked In Day By Day & Moment By Moment.
Back like it never left!! Another banger, yo Dre it's easy to see how you were great teammate from watching the pod! As always I'm staying locked in from Uganda East Africa!
JT is such a chilled dude...
This is my first time listening to this podcast and I really enjoyed it 👌🏾
Love from Oz 🇦🇺 Keep up the good shit Dre ❤
Great convos, great guests, great way to help pass time on the clock😂keep it up💪🏾
Sammeeeee… working and vibing to this
The problem with Tatum on the midrange is you have to have a coach to enforce that and you have to have the players that can and want to get him the ball there. Hopefully they do this year.
The problem is analytics guys try to avoid the mid range.
So far so good this year - 50% on midrange shots.
@@theodavis3420 I’m mainly talking about the playoffs….tatum can sleepwalk through games….hes going to have to demand the ball and fight for position plus Mazulla is a coach that’s 3pt happy
Correct and Tatum and Brown 3 point percentage is very low near 30% which way off for 2 all NBA players that shoot those shot in volume @@tiblanc3728
@@steviej1249That is why Cassell being here should help with JT.
I watch a lot of film and really try to break it down to take my game to the next level hearing iggy speaking about what he learned is really useful i would really like a episode when they both break down film and show what they are looking for
🙌🏾🙌🏾
best interview ive seen in a long time
We got love for you JT. We know you got it the ring will come. Keep working and good things will follow
Why does this conversation feel so deep and mature. Good episode.
This is an awesome watch! thanks
Niggas stay hating on Tatum want to see dude lose for no reason 😂
This my fav episode so far!
17:17 Great advice, it’s true too. Growing up you would hear “Time fly’s” and didn’t fully understand it because when you are younger (Kid / teen) everything felt longer in a sense… next thing you know years go by and you think to yourself “Damn, time really does fly” and you reminisce about the old days. like JT said, you ain’t going to get that time back.
Dope Interview Love Seeing JT interviews. My daughters are 12 and 6 and they love JT, he’s a great role model and he’s the best player in the league
Well done men. All respect for Iggy and Evan. For me you’re still young pups. I try to explain over my 55 years as a Celtics fan, basketball is a family, and it’s fun watching the torches being passed over the years. Great stories too. Keep up the good work! Go JT!
Great questions and dialogue!
This podcast is 🐐
JT is the only player currently that can realistically chase LeBron’s playoffs points record.
He's ahead of pace now but it'll be hard to maintain that lead. Bron had all those finals runs + is still playing.
The conversation about nba players kids makes me think about how kobes daughter potentially could have been the best wnba player ever and changed the game with the way kobe was teaching her.
This is an amazing podcast!!🎉❤
Appreciate you 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Something about players like curry , Westbrook, Tatum , doncic, brown, Davis has god giving talent when they play emotional
Bro spoke absolute facts about championships. I think in todays age we have distorted vision of how difficult it is to make the finals because we had the luxury of watching lebron james make it so many times but in reality whats distorted is the vision people have of lebron. I'm not even saying a single word about comparing him to mj or anyone else but just because we've seen lebron do it so many times in recent years, it has made people think "if lebron can go so many times including 8 consecutive seasons this stacked celitcs roster couldnt close the deal?" but thats not the reality of the situation.
You want to know what the reality is? of the 30 NBA franchises in existence, 5 of those teams have never even made it to the finals a single time, another 7 teams have never won a championship. To put this in context, this means 40% of the franchises in the NBA have never won a ring. This is the league full of the very best in the world, winning is unbelievably hard regardless of how great you are. I have no doubt in my mind Jayson Tatum will retire with at least 2 rings based off his career trajectory but that loss in the finals isn't a stain on his career. It's a point of emphasis and realization winning a chip isn't all about talent, it's also about experience, mental toughness and discipline.
Gang💯 Goat Show frm da Goat
Jayson Tatum is an overall amazing dude. Not only is he from my hometown, but he continues to prove that anything is possible. Saint Louis is probably one of the most difficult places to grow up as a kid ever in America. JT is where he is today because of his hard work and his perseverance, it was so great hearing him speak on this episode, such an inspiration to me and our city!
44:25 That clip hit platinum on Twitter 😂😂
This was legendary one of fave in the A rigth now
JT "he had a good game" lol love it
Turner voice is perfect for a mic
Jayson Tatum is the best player in the league right now just saying I think he will be the proprietor of this era for a long time to come although he is very humble
Thanks for sharing information about the Tatum rules. I guess it helped when playing against the Heat recently. 😅
Iggy a Warriors legend but look how he always talk about his time with Miami. Love him for that. 305 all day. Heat Culture
heat nation!
JT played it cool listening to Iggy making sure he didn’t give away no trade secrets of his weaknesses 😂
Great interview! Could use chapter break down for easy consumption!
58:21 This makes me so happy as a Celtics fan... couldn't ask for anything more from your best player. I've been a fan since the Celtics traded the #1 pick and I started watching his videos from Duke... could see that beautiful, pure shot easily translating to the NBA. And all he's done is get better since. He's right, he ain't seen nothing yet when it comes to how much the Boston fans will love him if he wins it all. Immediately immortalized throughout New England. The team is good enough, just hope they have the intestinal fortitude (and injury luck) to finish the job. ☘☘
Immediately when his name popped up in top draft picks I knew he would be the best player in the draft. Luckily we got him at 3
I’m glad this guy is the face of my favorite basketball team.
Of this WHOLE interview the part that hit different.....
JT talking about the pressure of having to be Superman ever night.
We as fans want to see him drop 40+ plus EVERY night, but when you listen to him you snap back to reality.
He's human. He's got shit going on. He has a young son. These guys have a real life and issues too.
America just doesn't watch most of us work on TV.
That's alot for 19 year old 😂
But seriously, happy to have him in Boston.
I think he and JB are special and can do things for the city not seen since my C's in the 80's.
Great content
Bro iggy face wen Tatum brought up tht watch🤣🤣🤣
JT is special. He will be one of the great Boston champs. I want it for him, he understands.
I have no doubt Jayson will bring a championship to Boston. i firmly believe he is great enough to help take us there. i look forward to celebrating that with him
Im so happy dre talked about getting the ball in triple threat man. I feel like i look at basketball very detailed and I hate how a lot of basketball is played out of a live dribble now. Its called triple threat for a reason! People don’t understand how helpful it is to be able to catch the ball on the floor and be able to just survey and make a quick decision after you read the floor. When you catch the ball you can see the help if someone is getting ready to double you can read the actions of the offense while being under control you can size your guy up, jab, pump or pass fake all without a dribble not to mention shoot a shot without having to gather the ball. Thats what makes the mjs kobes jokic birds etc so tough man lost art.
🙌🏾🙌🏾
W interview and I haven’t even watched it yet
If only JB got as much love as Tatum
I'm a little past the half way mark and Dre is talking about getting to his spot not trying to play above the arc with a live dribble allowing a team to double. I really hope JT takes this to heart because it's why this team when led by JT and JB blow so many 4th quarter leads in big games. I do like the adjustment with Derrick dribbling the ball up now being more of a facilitator because he will typically make the right play. But they fell into a similar situation losing to Golden State a couple days ago. Although they didn't double, Kuminga played excellent defense while Jayson dribbled the air out of the ball and shot a fade away contested 3 when all they needed was a two (or even possibly one free throw) to win.
Jt my favorite Celtic ever!! Not just on the court. I’m a dad of a 6 year old girl as a dad he inspires me!!
Rawness is maturations. Team defense and offensive recognition
JT was listening and taking mental notes. You can see why Boston made that trade for KP because he is post threat and, he opens up the floor for everybody.
U gotta be stamped to be on point forward!!!
great pod.
🙌🏾🙌🏾
Pod is great! But Turner has to shorten his questions. He elaborates so much on the question that it loses his pop. Ask the question and let them cook!
JT, u deserve to win and win finals
sounds like his mum n dad mentored and helped a lot. Thats why i admire lebron, wade and many others. At times they were homeless growing up.
Ur guys thumbnails be looking like ads, yall need to make it look more inticing. Love
Elite.
Next year for the NBA in season tournament they need to make the courts L.E.D like in FIBA basketball.
Evan you're wanna my fav Celtics players. Keep it up.
Man, you can tell Iggy has so much respect for JT and he truly knows how high JT's ceiling is. Keen to keep following JT throughout his Career and see how far he goes. I pray he has a long and healthy career.
Great ass pod!!
Deuce gonna be an artist
Wait 48:07 wow! I always wondered why those extra Bulls egos were randomly placed on the court
This pod gives 50 and Up vibes
🤣🤣🤣
Love the show and you guys!! The camera angle that doesn't show the guest but you guys looking over asking questions throws me off. I feel like you miss a lot about a person if you can't see initial reactions.
everybody doesnt love basketball. some people are just talented and were blessed to get drafted
3:45 turned is 100% right give swipa his respect
Iggy dropped gems for Tatum . Love it maybe he can take this and learn
Iggy my favourite hooper turned talking head and Evan Turner is funny as hell
I think the two teams that has earned a Zach lavine caliber player is either the knicks or the heat preferably the heat for what they have done in recent years
I HOPE Mazzulla was taking notes when Iggy was talking about getting buckets, and not settling for 3's in the fourth......
Zach do goo! He speaking facts about the bulls! If zo wasn’t down there wouldn’t be any trade rumors about Zach and Debo rn smh
Can we have the both of y’all on the Celtics coaching staff?! Y’all are the best and most knowledgeable basketball players. Would love y’all wisdom on the bench to help motivate and bring intangibles to the team and coaches.
ET was a coach on Brad's staff for 20-21.👀
8:59 Tatum
Obviously different personnel, different staffs, different cultures etc. but Tatum woulda benefitted tremendously with a vet like Iggy in his ear in that finals vs the golden state.
W episode
JT the most casual celeb I’ve ever seen
As far as Lavine he’s not as athletic as Jordan doesn’t mean he’s not good but I watched Jordan every season growing up I say it from knowing it you never seen Jordan pull 5 full games from each season from 1988 to 96 and watch
