Jayson Tatum is considered one of the biggest superstars in the NBA today. The Boston Celtics forward helped his team reach the NBA Finals last season and may do that once again this season.
But there are bigger fish than Jayson Tatum in the league. Tatum thinks he messed with one of them when he committed the infamous foul on LeBron James which led to an animated reaction from the King. Following a no-foul call against the New York Knicks, Tatum believes he isn’t getting a completely impartial treatment from the referees.

NBA fans believe that Tatum overreacted to the situation and unnecessarily blamed James for not getting foul calls in his favor.
“Game always get its get back,” one fan wrote.

Feeling bad after not getting a foul call in their favor is something completely natural. Every NBA player in the league knows that feeling.
But taking out that anger on another player, such as LeBron James, is not something many expected from Tatum. As a result, he was berated for making excuses following the 94-109 defeat at the hands of the Knicks.
Can Jayson Tatum Lead Boston Celtics To An NBA Championship?
The ultimate goal for any superstar in the NBA is to lead their team to the title, and similar is the case with Jayson Tatum.
Tatum reached closer than ever to his goal last season by featuring in the 2021 NBA Finals. However, the Celtics were outplayed by Stephen Curry and the Warriors pretty easily.
Instead of giving up on that, Tatum put his head down and has so far led the Celtics to one of the best records in the East and maintained their position as the second seed.
