All grown up: Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum showing maturity on and off the court

After Friday’s practice at UCLA, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, and Kyrie Irving engaged in a spirited 1-on-1 battle of King of the Court.

Irving tried to son them with a little Uncle Drew, “I need to school these youngins,” but the bottom line is, after months of ill-fated talking through the media and locker room gossip, Kyrie respects both Brown and Tatum. Irving said, “going against those wings, they’re two of the best in the league.” There have been rough patches in Tatum’s sophomore season and Brown’s third year, but at Game #67, both players have picked up from where they left off.
