The Boston Celtics demonstrated strong performances in their first-round playoff series against the Orlando Magic. However, they are currently facing challenges in the second round of the playoffs against the New York Knicks. Amidst these challenges, Jayson Tatum’s participation in a recent Superman commercial has provoked considerable criticism.
A recent advertisement for the highly anticipated blockbuster “Superman” has appeared on social media platforms. In this commercial, the storyline reveals that Superman takes a break, causing chaos as people search for a suitable replacement. Jayson Tatum, dressed in a black and white suit, unbuttons his shirt to reveal a Superman jersey underneath.
While the commercial might be impressive, its timing has elicited considerable criticism toward Tatum, particularly as the Celtics are encountering difficulties in their playoff series against the Knicks.
