Is Jayson Tatum READY to Be a Leader? | Bob Ryan & Jeff Goodman Podcast

Author: CLNS Media Network September 5, 2026 Duration: 36:15
On this episode of the Bob Ryan and Jeff Goodman Podcast, Gary Tanguay, Bob Ryan, and Jeff Goodman break down the biggest NBA stories of the week, beginning with the Clippers’ salary-cap scandal involving Kawhi Leonard and the massive penalties facing the franchise. The guys debate how much responsibility Kawhi should carry, what the situation means for his legacy, and whether the punishment will deter other teams from trying to circumvent league rules. They also turn to the Celtics and discuss Jayson Tatum’s leadership, the pressure he’ll face as Boston’s unquestioned centerpiece, and how different leadership styles can still work. Plus, Bob and Jeff weigh in on Ben Simmons’ latest opportunity with Sacramento, Amen Thompson’s huge extension and growing reputation in Houston, Brett Brown’s difficult tenure in Philadelphia, and Neemias Queta’s strong summer play for Portugal as he looks to earn a larger role with the Celtics. 0:00 Intro 1:00 Kawhi Leonard & Clippers Salary-Cap Scandal 12:17 PrizePicks 13:23 Jayson Tatum, Leadership & Celtics Expectations 21:38 Ben Simmons’ Latest Opportunity 25:03 Amen Thompson, Rockets & NBA Notes 29:44 Neemias Queta’s Strong Summer 31:04 Final Thoughts & Outro Celtics on CLNS Media is Powered by: 💰 PrizePicks - Sign up at http://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/CLNS & Download the app today and use code CLNS to get $150 instantly in Lineups if you win your first $5 Lineup!
