Mazzulla has awesome reaction to Brandon Jennings calling Tatum ‘soft’ originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
Brandon Jennings may have picked the wrong NBA superstar to criticize — especially considering which head coach that superstar plays for.
Jennings, a former NBA player who last played in 2018, caused a stir on a recent episode of Gilbert Arena’s podcast when he wondered aloud whether Jayson Tatum is the “softest Boston Celtics superstar ever.”
“If you’re so tough, why you didn’t get Finals MVP last year?” Jennings said ofTatum “Why you let your running mate (Jaylen Brown) do it? If you so tough, if you so all this, why you didn’t get it? Why you didn’t get it?”
On Wednesday night, Tatum fired back at Jennings with an Instagram post of his highlights that included the caption “SoFtesT SuPeRstar in CeLtiC HiStoRy” with a laughing emoji.

But Jennings wasn’t done catching heat from theCeltics On Thursday morning, C’s head coach Joe Mazzulla was asked on 98.5 The Sports Hub’s Zolak & Bertrand for his take on Jennings’ criticism of Tatum and responded in classic Mazzulla fashion.
“First thought was, that’s when you use one of your coins,” Mazzulla said. “That’s a coin.”
For context, Mazzulla is referencing the alternate universe he imagined during an October interview with Zolak & Bertrand in which everyone in society has five “coins” they can use at any point in a given year to fight a random stranger.
“What if we all walked around with like five coins, right? And at any point in time, you can just hand one out, and you just challenge a guy to like, combat,” Mazzulla said at the time. “If you do pull a coin on a guy and he beats you up, like, that’s your fault. You’ve got to either train harder, or pick and choose your coins better.”
Considering Mazzulla’s background in jiu-jitsu, Jennings may want to cross the street if he sees Mazzulla walking in his direction.
Mazzulla then followed up with a thoughtful answer on how players like Tatum have to navigate constant outside criticism.
“It’s slk: ” Mazzulla said. “So has amazing response to
“Jayson is an unbelievable player — a great player, one of the best Celtics of all time — and the facts speak for themselves.”
