Jayson Tatum believes the Boston Celtics are one of the favorites to win the 2020 NBA championship.

The superstar of the Celtics is confident his team has a ‘realistic chance’ to win the title in the Orlando ”bubble”.

“I think that’s the mentality you should have. I’ve never been on a team in my life — whether it was high school or college or since I have been on the Celtics — where I didn’t think we should settle for like third place.

We have the talent, the experience, the depth, and we compete with the best of them. We scrap, we play defense, and our mindset is to never give up.

We have a lot of guys who have been through a lot with each other, been through a lot of battles over the last couple years, so we hold each other accountable, trust each other, and we’re going to fight ’til there’s zero on the clock,” Tatum told reporters, via NBC Sports.
