When NBA Twitter wanted to break up the Jaylen Brown-Jayson Tatum duo: ‘They don’t complement each other well’
After seven seasons playing together in Boston, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown won their first NBA title. Both faced criticism and trade rumors throughout their journey, particularly after falling short against the Warriors in the 2022 NBA Finals. However, there were always believers in their potential, such as Jalen Rose and Brian Scalabrine.
Here’s what social media said when the All-Star duo couldn’t finish the job.
Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown need to break up- just like Russ & KD needed to break up.
They both saw 4 conference finals & 1 NBA finals appearance in 6 years.
But like Russ and KD- Tatum and Brown will be better apart. Let’s talk! pic.twitter.com/jz4VFbHAq4

“I don’t want five stars on my team. I want a guy that I can go to every night, I want a guy that’s going to lead, and I want three dogs, three others. I would prefer if they were specialists pic.twitter.com/wIPNKaLnHP

“It’s time to break up the duo and I’m saying it with the utmost confidence… They don’t complement each other well… I have never seen Jayson Tatum & Jaylen Brown link up one time [during the summers]… It’s time for change.”

“I’m hearing that [Kevin Durant is] on the verge of potentially being moved. Obviously, we’ve all been speculating that he may be moved. I’m hearing [the Celtics] is making some calls. Keep your eye on Jaylen Brown.”

Just bring him back to Boston… The Celtics are one of the least fun teams in the league & need to break up the monotony of watching Jayson Tatum & Jaylen Brown taking turns playing one-on-one for 48 minutes a night. https://t.co/Kj16r3i06l
