Paul Pierce explains how he joined Jayson Tatum’s ‘support system’ during summer workouts

Jayson Tatum has already established himself as one of the top stars in the NBA.

But after another disheartening postseason exit against the Miami Heat in the 2023 Eastern Conference Finals, the Celtics franchise forward is entering a pivotal season with a roster tabbed as a title favorite.

Throughout the summer, Tatum has posted numerous videos of him working on his craft, both on the court and in the gym.

A familiar face during Tatum’s offseason reps has been Celtics legend Paul Pierce, who offered up plenty of praise for the four-time All-Star during an appearance on Showtime Basketball’s “KG Certified”.
