Celtics star Jayson Tatum is already talking trash to former
teammate Grant Williams, who’s now on the Mavs.
Jayson Tatum and Grant Williams became close friends while playing together for the Boston Celtics, but that
doesn’t mean they don’t have jokes for each other.
Williams recently left Beantown after joining the Dallas Mavericks in a sign-and-trade. With the forward now in the
Western Conference, he’ll face off against his old team at least twice a season. Tatum is already anticipating his first
matchup with his former teammate, per Adam Himmelsbach of The Boston Globe.
“I’m gonna bust your a** when we play Dallas,” the Celtics star said to Williams last week.
This rivalry is nothing new for the two friends, as Tatum has roasted Williams countless times. For instance, when
the Mavs officially welcomed their latest addition on Instagram, Tatum joked that the photo of Williams was too
flattering:
Williams isn’t the sole target of jokes, though, as he flames Tatum right back. When Tatum said he’ll score with ease
against Dallas, Williams responded that he’ll lock him up himself.
“You can’t go left,” Williams joked. “And I’m gonna be physical with you and you’ll go cry to the referees.”
Jabs and jokes aside, the duo will clearly miss each other next season. Tatum even referenced a possible reunion in
the future on Instagram:
