NBA HOF Carmelo Anthony adds to Jaylen Brown-Jayson Tatum drama with personal story

Carmelo Anthony discussed the dynamic between former Boston Celtics teammates Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum during an appearance on NBC's "NBA Showtime." Anthony recalled attending an event in Cannes with both players shortly before Brown was traded, describing a palpable and "weird feeling" in the room. Despite noting the tension, Anthony maintained that the two do not have actual beef following their past success and championship in Boston.

The comments arrived as Brown faced his former team for the first time since being traded to the Philadelphia 76ers. Prior to tipoff, Tatum gave Brown a brief side hug while Brown appeared distant, mirroring Brown's earlier comments that there was nothing to discuss between them. Tatum stated he holds no animosity toward Brown, while Paul George led Boston's first-half scoring against Philadelphia.
