Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum may not be a team captain in Sunday night's All-Star game, but that doesn't mean the forward hasn't considered who he'd take on his squad.

Speaking with reporters gathered in Atlanta ahead of the league's festivities, Tatum said that he would select LeBron James, Steph Curry, Bradley Beal, and teammate Jaylen Brown, according to Tom Westerholm of Boston.com. While picking a fellow teammate can be as much a political decision as a basketball one–serving as an easy way to pay respect to a player you're going to have to spend the rest of the season with–Tatum's decision to pick Brown isn't quite that Machiavellian.

“I’ve been playing JB so much in practice in 1-on-1,” Tatum said. “I mean, I’m sure [if] we’re on the court at the same time, [I might guard him], but I was thinking about guarding somebody else. But if it does happen, I know all of his moves. I know what he’s going to do, so I ain’t going to let him score.”

Just as one can tire from repeatedly destroying your little brother at Madden, so too has Tatum grown weary from constantly besting Jaylen Brown in practice. Not surprisingly, however, that's not quite how Brown sees things.

“Tell [Tatum] don’t guard me, that’s all I’m going to say” Brown told reporters. “He thinks he knows my moves but I tell him all the time like I ain’t got to do too much. He thinks he knows my moves.”

While the world will get to see if Tatum does, in fact, know all of Brown's moves, it's just as well that the Boston forward was not allowed to pick his All-Star squad. Though his starting five is undeniably talented, it's not difficult to imagine his squad getting run over due to their lack of size and interior presence.

As great as Jayson Tatum may be on the court for the Celtics, it looks like a general manager position may not exactly be in his future.
