Tatum wonders why coli brehs don’t like him

Not getting finals MVP and being benched by Kerr got him feeling a certain sort of way.

To me he seems to have improved some of his flaws which was finishing at the rim , still needs to improve at not shooting himself out of games in the offs he is a very solid player just doesn't have that IT factor/ signature move, playing to the crowd showmanship. It's Bean town and they have had all time greats and players that had game and "swag" /showmanship
, for example a player not on his level that people loved out there Antoine Walker was a show man used to shimmy and take deep 3's before it was even fashionable it was joyful to watch him play.

So you think him dancing will make people like him more?

1. Duncan was already being debated as being the best player in the league at 22. Tatum’s just recently made it to the top 5 at 26.

2. Nobody questioned Duncan as the best player on the Spurs. While you have a good amount of people that think Jaylen is the real #1.

3. Duncan played in the small market of San Antonio and didn’t care if he got attention or not. Tatum plays in Boston and based on this quote obviously does.

4. Tatum’s a jack of all trades master of none. He’s probably on the top 3 of versatile players in the league. But there’s nothing in his skill set that stands out. Duncan had the post on offense and rim protection on defense as skills that were easily recognizable.

5. Duncan already won an MVP before he reached Tatum’s age. While Tatum hasn’t really been close

So Tatum’s a great player but he’s not this generations Tim Duncan. Some of yall are doing too much

The Jaylen being the #1 has been deaded

People are mad the Celts are back on top.... fakkits

Not Lakers fans. We wanna meet you there. We hope its ya'll. Luka hopes its ya'll too. He wants his lick back. We can't wait to wacc out your murals banners.

Because the real truth of the matter is NBA fans like crashouts and knuckleheads more. Sports is basically reality television for men combined with a bookie.

People have to make it about Jason Tatum's personality because he is probably the best all around player in the game right now.

Tatum is worried about the fanfare when all that will come and already has as long as he keeps winning. He will probably retire with a dozen plus All Star nods along with another 5 at minimum All NBA nods. Will retire with a 20 ppg average and no doubt will be a first ballot hall of famer. What more could he want or expect? Everyone is not built to be the "face' of an entire league and Tatum probably wouldn't want to deal with all that comes with that. But if he wants more props maybe he should focus on getting an All Defensive nods or grabbing 10 boards a night. Or maybe posting up a bit more instead of setttling for the 3. I'm nitpicking but those are the little things he should be focused on instead of worrying about how much the media and fans underrate him.

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.

That’s Shai.

Tatum is just a bland dude

 

[UpAndComing]

nikkaz just mad.

Tatum made kd a corpse.


When Durant is my new gen create a player model of success. Yet Tatum exposed and bodied him. That kd never been the same since.


Art Barr

Ever since Tatum dominated KD in the 2022 playoffs, they have been hating Tatum ever since

Bro I'm from Chicago and was watching these games in REAL time. Pip kept the Bulls competitive after MJ retired because he was the one who ran the offense. Only that first season tho (when he finished behind Hakeem and David Robinson). The second year, they were on the bubble of missing the playoffs until Jordan came back. He finished 7th in MVP voting that year, not 5th.

3rd place was the highest he ever finished in MVP voting, so how does that make him an MVP player?

I think people give pip credit for winning all star game mvp. As pup's comeuppance.

Yet the boi schluped't it.

Before the titles, during first three peat, then when Mike was gone and when Mike came back.

Plus his current dumb pr.

To strip pip down to no accolades.
to fukk pip.

Real talk.
I never liked him and that migraine shyt was some of rhe most bullshyt ever. All that boi needed to do was go fukk a bytch to get rid of rhis headache.
plus dude was so egotistical about females. That i still do not know.
How he had a headache.
When banging a chick would got rid of all that.
Somebody could got him a broad from the casino. Or the nba hooker rolodex.

Sent kd to the glue factory. Like tony Parker did gary Payton.
Ever since then. They try to act like Tatum does not exist.

Couple that with the Duke thing too.

that tatum was made a hard sell.

Tatum = Celtics + Duke ÷ kobe stan



I mean it is to many weird double negatives to get past. If you think about grassroots hoops. Plus how people are perceived.

Like kobe fan and kobe was a jordan fan. Then the kid goes to Duke. No love there. Then after that goes to the Celtics. Then puts kd out to pasture. Then wins a title as a Celtic. Where the roster is red auerbach dominant.
It is not much wiggle room.
for tatum to be liked. In most nba circles. Plus Tatum is a kobe guy in a Celtics town.

Tatum kinda has no way to ever be generally liked.

Plus he is a young father. Where just this all star game. Tatum had to kinda discipline his kid during the Allstars ceremony. So Tatum has to be a neutered acertain way. Not to damage his parental sway. Sohh there is not much wiggle room at all to make a superstar draw for Tatum. As Tatum is a father. Where his kid is super cognitive and growing. That it just sanitized Tatum.
as a drawing public figure.

Maybe you ain’t him cause you keep tryna copy everyone else. Goofy ass nikka

And fukk you for getting Ella Mai pregnant

Again, seemingly none of you levying this argument can actually articulate your criticism aside from lacks magic or "the vibes are off"...

New sports fans want a reality show attached to the game now. And it's weird because the perception of JT by C's fans compared to the rest of the league is wildly different. Him and now and especially Deuce are royalty in the Garden and around the city in general. He's a champ, a good dad and keeps his nose out of shyt. Why are we asking for something else like "magic" ?

Again, ya'll are buying into the ESPN "vibes" of sports now. Have fun always being disappointed when the vibes are off and you have to just rely on entertaining yourself with the actual sport. A bunch of online Kendrick Perkins

Nobody had to argue for LeBron on MJ to be the face of the league. You just either are that guy or you’re not and he isn’t. No disrespect to him he’s a great player who is probably going to be a 2x champ by the end of the season, but it is what it is.

Forced personality

Stupid haircut in the front area

Forced, “look at me and my son together all of the time” ish.

Posture of a nerd who pretends he isn’t one.

Baby Boy syndrome

Just a super nice guy people rather use their energy to hate Ja than to like Tatum.

Faggits

 

[tremonthustler1]

He reminds me of J Cole. At some point your personality can't just be that you're a big fan of [insert rapper, player, etc]. You can't introduce yourself like that and then maintain it to comical levels. You know, like texting a (dead) player telling him how much he inspires you. Weirdo shyt.

He's Cordae if Cordae was successful

Anyone who thinks JB is better don’t know shyt.
