The Cleveland Cavaliers got the best of Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals, but LeBron James and his teammates may not have earned the total respect of the rookie superstar.
In an appearance on ESPN’s “Get Up!” Thursday morning, Tatum was asked for his opinion on which team will prevail in the NBA Finals. When Jay Williams predicted that the Cavs will beat the Golden State Warriors in seven games, Tatum’s reaction was priceless.

Tatum went on to give some cliche analysis about how anything can happen in the NBA, but it’s quite obvious he doesn’t give Cleveland much of a chance against Golden State.
Although the Celtics lost to the Cavaliers in Game 7, Tatum gave us arguably the best highlight of the postseason when he dunked on LeBron and taunted him. If he thinks the Cavs have no shot against the Warriors, that says a lot about what his confidence level would have been if it was Boston in the NBA Finals.
