The Boston Celtics won the 2024 NBA Title in some style at the TD Garden, making it a historic 18th title for the franchise. Previously, many NBA analysts, veterans, and naysayers had tipped the Celtics’ opponents, the Dallas Mavericks, to win the NBA title. Celtics star man Jayson Tatum had a ‘savage’ response to these people on social media.
Tatum directed his most recent Instagram story toward basketball pundits and experts. In a video he posted, many well-known pundits, including NBA veterans Shaquille O’Neal, Stephen A. Smith, and Udonis Haslem, were seen betting on Dallas. “Experts,” he wrote as the video’s caption, with several sweat-smile emojis.
