Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum and new head coach Ime Udoka are always ready to trade trash-talks with Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets. If you need proof, then look no further than the medal ceremony in the Tokyo Olympics.
Durant and his new Nets teammate Patty Mills celebrated together after getting their medals. KD and team USA took gold after beating France in the Final, while Mills and Australia finished third for the bronze after taking down the Luka Doncic-led Slovenia.
While celebrating together, Durant welcomed Mills again to Brooklyn before warning that they are going to be a “problem” for the Celtics with the veteran guard in tow. Upon hearing that, Tatum had a rather NSFW response while Udoka reminded everyone that they know how to “lock” the Australian scorer.
KD: “There’s gon be problems for the Boston Celtics this year!”
Tatum: “FOH”
Ime Udoka: “We know how to lock Patty ass up” 🤣🤣 pic.twitter.com/5zm9g86ESq

For what it's worth, Kevin Durant and the Nets are already a problem for the Celtics. Brooklyn showed just that in the first round of the 2021 playoffs when they sent Boston packing in five games.
Now that they've added another elite player on their roster, KD is not lying when he said they are going to be a problem for the Celtics–and rest of the NBA for that matter.
As for Jayson Tatum and Ime Udoka, though, they have probably learned a thing or two on how to stop KD and Mills in the Olympics. Hopefully, that will benefit the Celtics when they face the Nets in the 2021-22 season.
