Kerr expressed anticipation of a hostile reception in Boston following criticism over benching Tatum during the Olympics, acknowledging the situation but affirming his confidence to handle it.
Kerr emphasized that benching Tatum was not reflective of his talent but rather a strategic decision, as other players’ performances warranted more playing time during the Olympics.
Despite the criticism, Kerr highlighted Tatum's outstanding performance in recent seasons, leading the NBA in playoff points and making significant contributions to his team.
When reflecting on the Olympic experience, Kerr found it equally gratifying to winning an NBA championship though he noted the Olympic Games require a much different approach and commitment.
