Grant Williams, the former Celtic, calls out Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown

 

In light of recent criticism, former Boston Celtics big player Grant Williams showered Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown with praise for having his back.

Following Williams’ criticism for being an unfavorable presence in the locker room, Tatum and Brown stood up for him. Prior to the Celtics’ April 1 game against the Charlotte Hornets, Williams called out his old teammates.

You have no power over what other people think or say. In a piece published on April 1, Williams told Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe. The fact that Jayson and Jaylen stood up for me without my having to ask meant the world to me. Seeing that was pretty cool. That demonstrated who I am.

Williams continued by saying that he was caught off guard by Mike Gorman’s remarks when discussing his time with Boston.

I spent many wonderful years in Boston. Maybe I still think that way about Mike, but I felt we had a terrific relationship. Perhaps he was making a commentary on what he perceived to be taking place. When I initially arrived, I used to enjoy seeing him with Tommy (Heinsohn), and now I enjoy watching him with Scal (Brian Scalabrine). I make an effort to stay up with Scal.

I was unprepared for Gorman’s remarks, but there are some things people will say that are beyond your control. I aim to be kind and considerate to everyone. You smile through it even though it kind of hurt.

Williams was a member of the Boston Celtics from 2019 until 2023, when he was traded to the Dallas Mavericks for cash. At the deadline, the Mavericks then traded Williams to the Hornets.

Grant Williams Talks Dirty With The Celtics
Williams discussed the experience of trash-talking with his former Celtics teammates at his press conference following the game.

Tatum) and (Derrick) White call me hacks all the time. I’m like, “You guys are hacks,” all the time. Simply put, you don’t receive calls for it since you’re so famous. According to Celtics on CLNS Media’s X account, Williams stated.

I guess Tatum was making a joke about me fouling Kristaps Porzingis, so I usually make fun of him for that. I was like, “Hey man, you fouled Brandon Miller and Aleksej Pokucevski twice in a row.” You know, you’re fair-skinned and you believe you look good, so they didn’t call a foul on you.
