VIDEO: Jayson Tatum Shares Show Joe Mazzulla Wanted To Fight Him Just Like How Travis Kelce Ran Into Andy Reid

Jayson Tatum recently spilled the beans on a crazy story. It turns out that Joe Mazzulla, the head coach of the Boston Celtics, wanted to throw down with Tatum just like how Travis Kelce, the NFL player, ran into Andy Reid.

I mean, can you imagine? Tatum and Mazzulla going at it, just like on the court? It’s like a real-life drama unfolding right before our eyes! Who needs reality TV when you’ve got sports drama like this?

Tatum was on the “New Heights” podcast with Jason and Travis Kelce where he dropped this bombshell.

According to Celtics star Jayson Tatum, the coach wouldn’t mind getting into some fisticuffs with his players, either.

We’ve heard some strange stories about wildlife analogies during practice and seen Mazzullla have plenty terse exchanges with reporters after games. He even tore his meniscus from working out a little too hard after the Celtics had lost two straight last season.

But Tatum painted an even wilder picture of the coach during his appearance on the “New Heights” podcast with Jason and Travis Kelce.

“Joe is crazy,” Tatum replied when asked what it’s like to play for Mazzulla.

Asked to expand on Mazzulla’s craziness by the Kelce brothers, Tatum shared a pretty wild story from the team’s current road trip. Tatum picked up his 12th technical foul of the year late in Sunday’s win over the Portland Trail Blazers, putting him four away from a one-game suspension from the NBA. Mazzulla saw it as an opportunity to get his star some rest ahead of the playoffs.

“Joe was like, ‘Yo, can you get four more so you can get suspended?’ And I’m like, ‘Joe, I think I’m done,'” relayed Tatum.

With Tatum unwilling to get more technicals by complaining/disagreeing with officials, Mazzullla took his plan in a much different direction. It sounds like the MMA afficionado wanted to enter the Octagon with his six-time All-Star.

“He was like, ‘I would much rather you just come punch me. I want to fight. I would love to fight. When Travis Kelce ran into Andy Reid, do that to me,'” Tatum said, drawing a huge laugh from the Kelce brothers.

The wildest part of it all is Mazzulla probably wasn’t kidding. This is the same coach who got in trouble for playing defense on opposing players after the whistle, and the same coach who once went after Chris Boucher after the 6-foot-9 Raptors big man bumped him while walking off the floor.

Sports can sometimes bring out the craziest emotions in people. It’s like a pressure cooker, and when things get hot, you never know what might happen. That’s how things got heated between Jayson Tatum and Joe Mazzulla.
