Charles Barkley believes Jaylen Brown didn’t show maturity with Jayson Tatum snub
Speaking on Inside the NBA, Charles Barkley questioned why Jaylen Brown wouldn’t reciprocate Jayson Tatum’s gesture ahead of the Philadelphia 76ers’ game against the Boston Celtics.
He believes that Brown should have let bygones be bygones and acknowledged their time together as teammates, rather than ignore his efforts to make peace.
Barkley said: “I was disappointed in Jaylen Brown. Give the man a hug. Y’all have been together, Shams said it, double-digit years; they won a championship together. You see Jayson is trying to squash the lamb chops, the beef – whatever it is. I was disappointed in Jaylen Brown.”
What Barkley says does make sense, as many fans were disappointed in Brown for outwardly snubbing Tatum when all he did was try to give him a quick pre-game greeting.
To make matters worse, Brown had a poor performance against his former team, scoring just 13 points on 4/9 shooting while turning the ball over four times.
As for Tatum, he had a strong outing, scoring 21 points with six rebounds and four assists to help the Celtics earn what proved to be a decisive win in the Eastern Conference.
