Andre Iguodala said that “his heart dropped” when he previously asked Jayson Tatum who the best player in the world was — his answer wasn’t himself. Instead, Tatum named Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Tatum interjected, noting that Iguodala had asked himthe question soon after Giannis’ 2021 Finals run: “I got a lot of respect for guys that get to the top of the mountain, get over the mountain.”
Last week, Tatum sat down with Iggy and his co-host, former Celtic Evan Turner, on SB Nation’s Point Forward podcast, and spoke about the pressures of playing in a championship-or-bust city like Boston, his growing up, raising Deuce, playing against his childhood idols, and more.
