Derrick White doesn't get Jaylen Brown-Jayson Tatum conflict narratives used by media

For whatever reason, a certain subset of the NBA media tends to lean into framing the Boston Celtics stars Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum as potentially being at odds with one another. Or, at least, having the potential to become so despite a consistent lack of evidence of any such thing happening. And this campaign is no different, with more than a few engaging in the click-hungry framing given Brown's success in a season Tatum sat out injured for most of it, only to return and play at a surprisingly high level. Teammate Derrick White weighed in on his thoughts about such narratives during a recent interview by "Hoops Tonight" host Jason Timpf, saying, "I think the media always try to create narratives, and I think that’s just kind of an easy one for them to pick," said the Colorado native. "It doesn’t really make much sense to me, because the two of them have had so much success." "The Celtics have been in the Eastern Conference Finals damn near every year of their NBA careers, which does not happen," he added.
