Every superstar isn't a champion and if they are it takes time. By this logic Shaq wasn't a superstar until 2000, MJ wasn't one until 91 etc...

Win or lose tomorrow Tatum is a superstar point blank.

It's not ever about winning or losing. It's about showing up. Harden has consistently shrunk in the spotlight to the point that it's a joke. Just because you can score a lot of points every once in a while don't make you a super star. MJ and Shaq were showing up even in loses before the team came through. MJ has had playoff loses where he averaged 40+. Shaq has always done 20 points and 10 rebounds before he won his championship. Even when the Bucks lost rounds Giannis has consistently shown up.

Tatum has disappeared multiple times just in this round. He's not a super star yet because he did this once this time especially when the Celtics are supposed to be the better team. Both record wise AND that the Bucks are missing Middleton

Saying Tatum isn’t a superstar is just an admission that you don’t watch basketball at this poulint


I realized a majority of basketball discourse is agenda driven. They say Tatum isn't a superstar but Ja Morant and Zion are haha

Ja Morant with way less a resume than Tatum

And Zion who only played 100 games in his career lol

"Right now"

They have called him a Superstar when he was playing and not injured. Again, you don't have to play facetious

No, I mean this year. This is the year that Zion has been called all types of fat, unprofessional and undependable. No one has mentioned him and Tatum in the same sentence in over a year, and even when he was averaging 27 he wasn't winning games like Tatum and the Cs. You'd be hardpressed to find anyone saying that about Zion

Ja, thats a different argument
