The Boston Celtics drafted Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum third overall in back-to-back years in 2016 and 2017, as two young kid who were barely 20-years-old, expected to takeover the most historic franchise in the NBA.

As we’ve had the privilege of watching Brown and Tatum become franchise pillars and lead the Celtics to the NBA Finals last year, there is still a stigma across the fan base (and league) that Boston’s dynamic duo cannot coexist on the Celtics.

Brown has often been rumored to be on the trade market, and the only reason being is due to not seeing the success that he and Tatum can have together.

After their last game, Brown and Tatum combined for 76-points, to which Tatum took the opportunity to give the media a reality check.

Jayson Tatum didn’t hesitate to take the lob sent to him by @RealBobManning and hammer it home on if Tatum and Brown can play together or not on the #Celtics pic.twitter.com/5g0onHNz3N
