Paul Pierce believes Jayson Tatum is on trajectory to surpass all-time great forward

[Raquinotj]

Paul Pierce is only to be taken serious on the court.

Imagine prime KD getting DNPs in the Olympics.

He’s not Getting DNPs where it really matters in the NBA. Everyone knows Steve Kerr is a Bozo. People fake care about that 8 game tournament for “Country representation” purposes.

YOU nikkaS LOVE
ACTING LIKE POST ACHILLES KD
IS THE SAME KD.

HE AINT shyt BUT
AN ELITE JUMP SHOOTER NOW.
PRESS UP ON HIM WITH LENGTH
AND HE CANT MAKE YOU PAY LIKE
HE USED TO

PRIME TATUM GOT HIS LUNCH TOOK
BY WIGGINS IN THOSE SAME PLAYOFFS
BUT nikkaS WANNA ACT LIKE
THERES A CONVO WITH PRIME KD


​

What’s worse is this “both ends” talk in 2022 when Tatum was inefficient as shyt while having nowhere near the defensive pressure on him as KD with dudes like Bruce Brown playing the 4. If anything, that series was a precursor to how Boston was going to lose in the finals.

All those jerseys he sells I’m pretty sure Tatum is plenty of people’s favorite player.

In Boston/Mass I'm sure he is. Brunson is the fifth selling highest jersey in the NBA thanks to NY.

Team USA alienated a player who will be key for them holding on to the gold in 2028

Tatum should forgo 2028 the way he was disrespected last summer

And he was disrespected even tho he's better than the 2 guys who play in front of him

Tatum is gonna be first team all nba again, he's gonna finish top 5 in mvp voting again (prob the highest vote share of American born players), he was arguably the best 2-way player in the league again...and he saw no burn more than once...that's straight disrespectful

He should sit all the way down in 2028...let Bron & KD save them then too

in a 1 game situation you always go with Lebron and KD over tatum

don't be silly

its like choosing Lamar or Allen over Brady/Rodgers (even though they are old) to win 1 game

The diff is the bench gets utilized and lesser players made it off the bench before him...he was purposely benched

I'm not putting Rodgers in over Josh Allen in 2025

 

[Whips-n-Chains]

He;s never going to be better than KD.

This...

He might become more accomplished by winning 3 rings or something, but we all saw pre-injury kd

Not to mention, these takes are coming from Pierce who's a career celtic

SAME shyt HAPPENED LAST FINALS
BUT BOSTON WAS SO STACKED
THAT TIME AROUND
IT DIDN'T MATTER

[The God Poster]

Paul throwing KD under the bus to avoid the fact Tatum has surpassed his career is nasty work

 

[L&HH]

As a player everyone is taking prime KD over Tatum and there’s very few players (maybe 15 at most) in NBA history you’d take over KD. But yeah Tatum is shaping up to possibly have a better career trajectory….hes got a ways to go.

 

[Chrishaune]

No reason to compare a Hall of Fame lockplayer getting ready to retire to a player still closer to the beginning of his career than the end.

Give it a rest you, clown. He couldnt even make a jumpshot in the Olympics. Thats pathetic.

 

[stepbackj34spud]

Take Piru' P's penis outta your mouth.

After you take my dikk out of your mouth fakkit.

 

[stepbackj34spud]

I already have Tatum and Brown over Pierce as far as careers thus far

You’re an idiot.

They've had it easier in a scoring-friendly/spacing 3pt era, plus they've always had all-star teammates and solid role players throughout every game of their careers. Neither of them had to carry a team full of scrubs. Remember the one season Pierce got hurt? The Celtics dropped 17 straight games without him in the lineup…that's how rough those early to mid-2000s rosters were.

 

[MicIsGod]

What is Tatum on a non super team? Because this Celtics team is far and way the most talented team in the league. He’s not better the Kd.

 

[Raquinotj]

Give it a rest you, clown. He couldnt even make a jumpshot in the Olympics. Thats pathetic.

He’s 31/11/6 in the games that MATTER vs Real NBA players goofy. Nobody cares about playing vs teams that have 1 NBA player in their roster for 8 exhibition games.
