Jayson Tatum being exposed appreciation thread

[Codeine Bryant]

Just say that Kobe shot his team out of the Finals and keep it moving, fam. All these mental gymnastics when it just boils down to both having a horrid Finals and being the primary reason why their teams lost.

That’s not the discussion point, though

At least Kobe was aggressive, attacking, and trying to score and win, unfortunately, to a fault

Tatum was far too passive in Q3 of G6 when the game was still within reach. Passing the ball to Smart or Horford and putting the onus on them to get you buckets in the half court.

Imagine Kobe deferring to Jordan Farmar in an elimination Finals game…

Even Devin Booker told everybody to get the fukk out my way, I will go and get 40+ if need be during their collapse last year in the Finals. Tatum was either doing dumb shyt or was wanting to take a back seat, and both were really bad looks throughout the series

The 24 hour news cycle and toxic skip/stephen A ‘let’s re-examine legacy every day’ has done a number on folk.

Exposed?!?! Ngga was first team all nba and he’s 24. Celtics weren’t even supposed to be here. Just disgusting man

Siakam at 25

Pascal Siakam averaged 19.8 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.7 assists on 50% shooting

Now do Kobe’s first finals

Kobe stans hating on one of their own brothers. Cold world

OP mad he been on that Ingram and Kuzma being better than Brown/Tatum combo. This was the perfect moment to spam the board.

Now do Kobe’s first finals

Oh you mean the Finals where he got hurt in the first quarter of game 2, missed game 3 then came back hobbled to seal a pivotal game 4 when Shaq fouled out? That one?

Now do Kobe’s first finals

It’s remembered as one of the turning point of his career and his game 4 is looked as one of the greatest 4th quarter performances of all times. this not what you thought especially when you factor in that he was injured

Was he a detriment?

Now was Jayson a detriment?

Ok, answer that and come back

If you’re playing, you’re healthy. I don’t see nobody giving JT slack for his bad shoulder. Kobe put up an inefficient 15 points in that Finals and wasn’t even the main focus of the defense.

JT led a team to the finals as the first option at 24. Kobe? At 29

Tatum put up better numbers across the board on better efficiency as the focal point of the defense. Kobe was a distant second option and still sucked

Jalen hurt Kobe on purpose, everytime JT flopped and fell Dray and them was probably praying for him to get up
