{"id":1187,"section":"sports","section_label":"Sports","url":"https://www.brokenews.co/sports/1187","headline":"Tatum says there's no feud with traded former teammate Jaylen Brown","dek":"Speaking after Boston's 107-103 win over the Knicks, Tatum said he wants people focused on what the pair won together, not manufactured drama.","body":"Jayson Tatum addressed his relationship with Jaylen Brown following the Celtics' 107-103 win over the Knicks on Friday, insisting there is nothing hostile between him and his former co-star. \"I don't have any animosity or beef or ill will toward him,\" Tatum said, adding that it's \"frustrating\" that conversations about Brown no longer focus on what they built together, including a championship.\n\nThe comments followed a social media exchange earlier in the week, when Brown posted a blue \"cap\" emoji in response to a video of Tatum saying on his YouTube channel that he was caught off guard by Brown's trade. Tatum pushed back on any notion of a rivalry, saying \"this ain't no f---ing Shaq and Kobe.\"\n\nTatum and Brown were drafted in 2016 and 2017, respectively, and grew into one of the league's most successful duos, culminating in Boston's 18th championship in 2024. Tatum has made six All-Star teams and Brown five, with Brown also earning Finals MVP honors. Despite their history, Brown was recently traded away from Boston, prompting renewed scrutiny of their partnership.\n\nTatum said he believes better communication could have resolved any lingering friction, and that both players \"should be celebrated\" for what they accomplished together rather than scrutinized for perceived tension.","published_at":"2026-10-25T22:03:16.796139+00:00","source_count":5,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jayson Tatum claims ‘there’s no beef’ with Jaylen Brown after trade: ‘Ain’t no f–king Shaq and Kobe’","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jayson-tatum-claims-no-beef-165113928.html"},{"outlet":"Awful Announcing","publisher":"Awful Announcing","title":"Jayson Tatum refuses to engage in feud with Jaylen Brown after social media shot: ‘This ain’t no f*cking Shaq and Kobe’","url":"https://awfulannouncing.com/nba/jayson-tatum-refuses-engage-feud-jaylen-brown.html"},{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"Jayson Tatum shuts down Jaylen Brown drama: 'This ain't f---in' Shaq and Kobe, there's no beef'","url":"https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/jayson-tatum-shuts-down-jaylen-brown-drama-shaq-and-kobe-no-beef/"},{"outlet":"New York Post","publisher":"New York Post","title":"Jayson Tatum claims ‘there’s no beef’ with Jaylen Brown after trade: ‘Ain’t no f–king Shaq and Kobe’","url":"https://nypost.com/2026/10/24/sports/jayson-tatum-tries-to-silence-feud-with-jaylen-brown/"},{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"Jayson Tatum wants to stop Jaylen Brown drama: 'This ain't no f---ing Shaq and Kobe'","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7719178/2026/10/24/jayson-tatum-jaylen-brown-drama-celtics-76ers/"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jayson Tatum Responded to Criticism Exactly as a Franchise Star Should","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jayson-tatum-responded-criticism-exactly-141109658.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jaylen Brown says he has no beef with former Celtics teammate Jayson Tatum","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jaylen-brown-says-no-beef-032627959.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jaylen Brown responds to Jayson Tatum's 'no beef' comments as dispute continues: 'He's got a great PR team'","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/article/jaylen-brown-responds-to-jayson-tatums-no-beef-comments-as-dispute-continues-hes-got-a-great-pr-team-042247276.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jaylen Brown reveals there is a bit of conflict with former co-star Jayson Tatum","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jaylen-brown-reveals-bit-conflict-043106337.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"‘He’s got a great PR team’ – Jaylen Brown’s blunt statement on Jayson Tatum amid reported tensions","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/got-great-pr-team-jaylen-045759089.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Blake Griffin says there's one thing he knows for sure about Jayson Tatum amid Jalen Brown drama","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/blake-griffin-says-theres-one-061317511.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jaylen Brown responds to Jayson Tatum's 'no beef' comments as dispute continues: 'might be a little lamb chops and some gravy'","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/article/jaylen-brown-responds-to-jayson-tatums-no-beef-comments-as-dispute-continues-might-be-a-little-lamb-chops-and-some-gravy-062852050.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"‘He’s Got a Great PR Team,’ ‘Should Stay Ready At All Times’ — Jaylen Brown Reacts to Jayson Tatum’s ‘No Beef’ Claim With Sharp, Calculated Jabs","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/got-great-pr-team-stay-061251531.html"}],"image":null,"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
