Boston Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum is a big fan of the late, great Kobe Bryant. As a matter of fact, one could argue that Tatum is one of Kobe’s biggest supporters in all of the NBA today. As it turns out, however, not even Tatum’s affinity toward the Los Angeles Lakers icon is enough for […]

It’s well-established that Isiah Thomas and Michael Jordan don’t like each other.
