Tatum did what James refused to do after the Lakers were eliminated: Be brave to take responsibility

According to the article written by Dan Combs, author of the sports media NBA analysis network. Boston Celtics superstar Tatum responded to criticism with his performance and mannerisms in his team's latest win.

Tatum won his 72nd career playoff victory by defeating the New York Knicks 115-93 at Madison Square Garden. The victory brought the Celtics back to a 2-1 score, with the Knicks taking two 20 points behind in TD Gardens to turn the game, surprisingly leading 2-0.

And Tatum's 22 points in the third game was crucial, after only 13 points in Game 2, it was a step in the right direction, and his previous poor performance brought him a lot of criticism. But his approach is telling, which is in stark contrast to James' recent comments.

Jason Tatum took responsibility for the team's failure

Tatum did not hide after the worrying 0-2 downturn of the Boston Celtics. He accepted these criticisms and admitted that it was part of the process. "I'm totally responsible for the way I play in this series. Nothing can be covered up. I need to be better. I hope to be better," he said before Game 3.

Tatum's shooting choice and ability to take over the game in the final minutes have been under fire, and there have even been questions about hand injuries earlier in the playoffs. While the Celtics won a big win in Game 3, which means he wasn't tested with minutes left, he also played efficiently enough to make sure the Knicks never returned to steal the victory again.

assumed the responsibility for the defeat and allowed Tatum to enter the third game with a calm manner, without letting this pressure of criticism overwhelm him. Instead, it successfully aroused his fighting spirit and helped the team regain a game and stabilized the morale of the army.

James refused to take responsibility after the Lakers were eliminated

Tatum's remarks were completely different from James' words after he was eliminated from the playoffs in the first round of the Los Angeles Lakers. James said in his podcast that he did not feel responsible, commenting: "I'm at some stage of my career, I won't suffer from insomnia because of 'How is Luca and I '... There are eight other people on the bench."

James' comments have been severely criticized by fans who believe he has withdrawn from the Lakers and blame others for it. James, 40, should have a wiser understanding of how to interpret his comments, but he also suggests that he has gone past the level of caring about team failures. Perhaps James at this age has more ideas than being able to accomplish another championship feat, to extend his career and compete with his second son.

Either way, Tatum's remarks are a clear difference compared to James's words, which shows the great ability of the Boston Celtics superstar; similarly, James' entire career is great, and he cannot overturn his entire career resume because of one thing, but his remarks will make many Lakers fans unacceptable.
