The USA Men's Basketball team faced minimal external drama during their gold medal run at the Paris Olympics, primarily centering on Jayson Tatum's playing time.
Despite not being a starter in several games and limited minutes, Tatum stayed positive, acknowledging challenges but focusing on the team's success. He highlighted the impact of social media and public opinion on his experience, but he ultimately celebrated winning gold.
Tatum cited a shooting slump as a key factor in his reduced playing time, with Coach Steve Kerr opting for teammates who were more consistent offensively. Looking ahead, Tatum expressed eagerness for the upcoming NBA season, emphasizing the importance of moving forward after last year's championship.
