The Boston Celtics star reported for his eighth NBA season on Tuesday, Sept. 24, after an eventful few months in which he helped the franchise win an 18th championship and then joined the U.S. team for its victory at the Paris Games, only to be consigned to being a role-player and getting benched for two games in the middle of the Olympics.

“In real time, it was tough,” Tatum said at the Celtics media day, acknowledging “I guess you could say that” it would motivate him when the Celtics try to repeat as NBA champions. “Joe was probably the happiest person in the world that I didn’t win Finals MVP, and I didn’t play in two of the games of the Olympics,” Tatum said. “So that was odd. But if you know Joe, that makes sense.”
The Celtics return virtually the same roster that won it all: Fifteen players are back from last year’s team, including the top 11 scorers. The last NBA team to win back-to-back titles was the Golden State Warriors, who won three in four seasons from 2015-18. “There’s pros and cons to both. If I had to choose one, I’d choose the one we have,” Mazzulla said. “Just because something worked before doesn’t mean it’s going to work again. So where do we have to stay the same and where we have to change?”
And in case he needed any extra motivation, Stevens said he never got a chance to hang out with the championship trophy this summer.
