Tatum wonders why coli brehs don’t like him

[Bittersteel]

He should have stepped to Kerr before the Olympics squad was announced and asked him whether he would start ahead of LeBron and KD.

I guarantee to you that's what LeBron did.

if yall feel he a corny try hard then thats cool

kobe was a corny try hard and was called out as such live in action...even publicly at times lol.. that aint slow his motion or dim his light (there are other variables to consider in his case though)

the nba just dont have the relationship with the public they had yesteryear ...

a great champion in a heralded sport city woulda sold itself once upon a time... but these different times lol

Kobe was corny but we still fooled with him. Jason is corny too. Make your money and be cool. Life is good and you will be a hall of famer.

As a Celts fan, I can understand why the majority of fans feel the way they feel. Dude just presents as corny and tryhard. That whole trying to get a KG moment after winning the championship will haunt him for the rest of his career, but it's kind of different, people just think he is corny and cringe, I don't think anyone "hates" him, he is not polarizing enough.

Facts, its not the "name and face" its the behavior.

The texting Kobe shyt - and then telling people about it. Corny.

The KG shyt - corny.



Tatum isn't "cool" or charismatic. Fundamentally that's fine, but he'd be better served if his publicist found him a different angle.

And now to bytch and moan about it, proving the fans right.

…

Ya'll want these guys acting like Jake/Logan Paul, I don't get this criticism at all. Is he supposed to entertain you beyond the realm of him playing ball??

They been hating on Tatum since he was a rookie, but since they can’t tear down his game like that anymore it’s switched to his personality

I say keep running the rings up while their stars with “aura” and “charisma” keep losing

These new fans want vibes, not rings or banners. It’s different in title town

Saw someone make a great comp. Tatum = Russell Wilson.

When perception and ideals of ‘corniness’ start to overshadow actual resume. But thr actual resume is HOF

And Tatum is actually ahead of Russ. Russ is debateable but Tatum, barring injury, is first ballot. If they get another chip and he gets FMVP and continues to prove he’s the .#1 (this was NEVER a question, he’s been better than JB every year ), then he’s gonna jump a WHOLE lot of nggas ’cooler’ faves. AI, Dirk, etc

Is he getting any more hate than the average superstar?

 

[WaveMolecules]

He’s just corny, and that’s ok. I don’t think anyone actually hates him

Jokic is boring but historical, Luka as flair to his game, SGA is boring as well but scores more and makes it easy, Giannis is boring but has a dominate game, Embiid is dominate but corny, Mitchell is cool.

NBA players have no real flash outside of game. Tatum just isn’t a top 5 guy. He has all the help. The 1B player got the accolades. White and Jrue are the third player on most teams. Porzingus is a solid second best player on many teams.

He’s apart of a super team so people don’t respect him as much.

Nothing wrong with him or his accomplishments. There is nothing wrong with being a top 5-7 player. Make your 50+ million, make your light skinned babies and be happy.

The Celtics aren't a superteam. A superteam has at least 2 MVP level players, you got nikkas in here saying Tatum isn't even top 5. They aren't on the same level has the Heatles, 17-19 Warriors, 01 Lakers or 96 Bulls.

 

[King Poetic]

He has grant hill laid back personality without the locker room stories that people love to hear about

He’s a hella of a player

But we live in a show your ass society

 

[lib123]

Great player but zero charisma. Most boring superstar in NBA. Jaylen Brown is way more likable. His whole championship celebration seemed so forced/phoney

Not only that, Tatum's playing style and personality just isn't appealing to most fans. He's like a taller, stronger Ray Allen in a lot of ways. People always respected Ray, but even if he was on a good team and won a chip in the early 2000s, most fans still would've gravitated towards Kobe, AI and T-Mac.

I don't think thats a good comp. Tatum is way more authentic than Russell Wilson and seems more connected to Black culture.

He's got all the traits you would want in a face of the league, it's just he plays in an era with 3-4 players better than him.
