NBA ALL-STAR 2020February 15, 2020Jayson TatumChicago, Illinois Q. What's the first thing that comes to mind when you think about being an All-Star? JAYSON TATUM: The first thing that comes to mind is just how much does it mean to you to be great? How hard are you willing to work to -- how much are you willing to sacrifice to be as great as you can? Q. In a one-on-one tournament who would you want to play? JAYSON TATUM: Who would I want to play? Q. Yeah. JAYSON TATUM: I don't know. I think it would be a good idea. It would be fun. Q. Is there anyone you'd want to play against? JAYSON TATUM: Probably KD and Giannis. Q. The NBA is talking about the possibility of a mid-season tournament. What do you think about that? JAYSON TATUM: Sometimes change is good when they bring new things and new ideas. So I mean, I'm not opposed to it. Q. Jayson, what about a play-in game? JAYSON TATUM: I think it would bring a lot of attention to that game. It would be a big deal because it's like college, win or go home. That would be pretty cool. Q. On All-Star snubs: JAYSON TATUM: Everybody that made the All-Star Game is deserving, deserves to be here. There's always a few guys every season or every year that are in the conversation that should have or could have made it. Brad [Bradley Beal] is definitely one of them. He's averaging 30 points right now a game. I mean, yeah, if it was up to me, he would for sure be in it. But everybody here is deserving as well. Q. On Kemba Walker: JAYSON TATUM: Kemba, that's my guy. Our relationship and friendship has grown a lot over this season so far, from USA basketball to playing on the Celtics to experiencing All-Star together. So it's been a good ride. We're enjoying it. Q. How is this year at All-Star different for you? JAYSON TATUM: It's hard to explain, but it is a different feeling. This is my third time being an All-Star but first time playing on Sunday. It does, it feels different. It's hard to explain. It just feels different. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
