It seems like pretty much anyone with a connection to the Boston Celtics (and more than a few who do not) have weighed in on the recent drama between former teammates Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum. From Golden State Warriors vet Draymond Green and Celtics center alum Blake Griffin to Boston broadcaster Brian Scalabrine, the supposed beef (or whatever other dish we will use to describe the acrimony in question) is the topic du jour in NBA media circles.
Now, Celtics majority owner Bill Chisholm has waded into the matter in a recent interviewwith the 98.5 The Sports Hub show "Zolak and Bertrand." The private equity magnate took the high road, however, which, while perhaps disappointing fans of other teams, might strike a chord with Boston fans.
"I only have good things to say about Jaylen," said Chisholm. "And as a player, the impact he's had in the community, and also as a person."
"When he comes to town in January, everyone's going to give him the biggest standing ovation we can, and then we're going to kick Philly's (expletive)," he added. "But, we're not going to do that ... I know you guys have to ask the question. I don't blame you for it. But we've moved on. We like what we did here."
"It was really hard. And there's no question there's emotions involved there," said Chisholm. "But that's ... not respectful to him to talk about it (like that). I think at this point, any of that stuff, I don't think it's respectful, frankly, (for) the team we have."
"So we're moving on from that at this point. I think you'll hear that from not only from me. I think you've heard it from (Celtics coach) Joe (Mazzulla). You'll hear it from (Boston president) Brad (Stevens). You have heard it from Brad, and even Jayson (Tatum), so that's kind of where we are at this point."
