J.R. Smith Says Celtics Players See Jaylen Brown as “The Leader” Over Jayson Tatum

Smith said Boston’s locker room leadership doesn’t match the outside narrative. “For the players, I’m pretty sure it’s his team,” he said of Brown, adding, “for everybody else in the media… it’s Jayson Tatum’s team.” Smith doubled down: “Internally, it’s Jaylen Brown’s team… 100% on and off the court,” saying Brown is “more outspoken” and “commands” film and practice.
