The Boston Celtics were at the center of controversy at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
It started when Team USA chose Derrick White to replace Kawhi Leonard on their roster, snubbing NBA Finals MVP Jaylen Brown in the process.
Weeks later, Team USA head coach Steve Kerr controversially chose not to play Jayson Tatum for two of the tournament’s six games. The latter of these was a closely contested semifinal matchup against Serbia.“They’re two competitors and they are who they are,” Mazzulla said. They’re two great, great players. So I’m not going to try to figure out how they’re going to go about it. If they want to take revenge on that particular game, that’s great for them.
