  "account": "Jayson Tatum, the Boston Celtics star, has given an honest first impression of his new teammate, Mitchell Robinson. The 7-footer, who spent years battling Tatum as an opponent while with the New York Knicks, is now a teammate. Tatum says he loves Big Mitch and finds him hilarious, adding that Robinson brings a different dynamic to the team. Tatum admires Robinson's size, instincts on defense, and ability as a lob threat, defensive specialist, rebounder, and offensive re-bounder. Robinson's career averages of 7.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks per game have made him one of the NBA's premier offensive rebounders. Tatum's difficulty keeping Robinson off the glass during their time as opponents is now replaced with admiration for his work on the Celtics.",
