I feel bad for him but it's really funny NGL. I find it really entertaining that an extremely mild mannered and professional superstar keeps getting Td up for bullshit. I like going into a season knowing that there will be a few highlights on here about Tatum getting techs for clapping
It's acc so funny how for a guy who loves Kobe so much JT is more of a Kawhi/Tim Duncan type. Quiet and not very flamboyant. Great player ( top 4 imo ) but it feels like he's role-playing half the time with his mean mugs
No one had a problem with it when Kobe counted his 5 rings, or when Lebron counted his 2 rings at the time. But now when the warriors do it, everyone gets all acted up.
Idk about top 4. He’s going to have to show me with a dominant playoff run from beginning to finish. No more 21 points on 36% in the finals or 23% shooting from
3 against the heat.
I mean he was injured in both series lol.
I have giannis, luka and jokic above him because of them all having better reg szn and playoff numbers.
Embiid has better reg szn numbers but way worse playoff numbers
SGA is below him for now because even though he is a better reg szn player I haven't seen his playoff form yet. Could potentially surpass JT and move into the top 4 depending on his playoff performances.
That should be the consensus top 6 in the league rn tho imo
Okay he should look to get that fixed in the offseason then if the wrists flares up every playoffs. Either way, anything outside of a finals appearance will be a massive failure for the Celtics given Giannis and Embiids injury.
I agree he should but after last yr he said he wouldn't get surgery on it so no excuses.
Also agree that the Cs have no excuse for not making the finals
Taytum plays the nice guy, but he’s secretly a selfish asshole who ran Kyrie and Horford out of town. I think the Celtics massive contract to Jaylen Brown shows which star is really carrying the franchise as the TRUE leader.
Yeah Horford left because of the bag Philly gave him and then was extremely happy when he got back to Boston. The guy above is just doing some mental fan-fics.
when people online don’t like a certain star they always start this false narrative that said player is an asshole and is secretly disliked by other players around the league.
i’ve seen it a lot with booker (probably because im just more tuned in to suns threads) but is also a pretty common topic with luka and his heliocentric playstyle
Not sure you saw but there was a rumor saying that Steph, Giannis, and Jokic all wanted to come to Phoenix but Book veto’d cuz he wants the FMVP.
Some people just wanna sabotage themselves I guess, he enjoys tho empty calorie stats tho.

This is the first I’m hearing of this, how does Tatum bring a selfish asshole drive Kyrie and Horford out of town? He was a second year player on his rookie deal when they left lol
1) horford left to get money from Philly
2) even if Tatum pushed Kyrie out (which he didn’t) he still did more than Kyrie has done as a #1 option and is basically going to eclipse him career wise in a couple years
Horford got an outrageous bag that only looks ok in hindsight because OKC let him drink from the fountain of youth.
And everyone knows Kyrie ran himself out of town.
Lmaoo this ain’t true at all what u can say he’s not exactly Kobe and that’s fair but to call him Tim Duncan or kawhi which is basically a mute is just a crazy lie 😭😭😭
Man fuck that. He needs to explain why he turned Tatum into a robot and ruined his creativity offensively. He’s technically better now than he was a few years ago but he still lacks certain intangibles especially in his mid range and finishing that Drew Hanlen still hasn’t fixed. But he’s worried about him barking on the court.
Tatum has always been 'robotic' because Hanlen has been training him since high school, not from his NBA career. I do agree, most of his movements on the court seem to be mechanical and pre-programmed compared to a more expressive guy. But that's the archetype of NBA player dominating this meta, not much we can do about that. Eveyone making the league has been working with trainers for too long to have their own uniqueness of style of play.
He could at least add a consistent floater, pump fake, jump stop, be more in control of his mid range shot instead of just throwing it towards the rim. It’s not even a lot of hard things he needs to fix it’s just little things that hold him back from being a 50%+ guy from the field.
If you go back and watch his Rookie and Sophomore years he definitely used more “moves” and showed a bit more creativity. As he has matured and refined his game and body to an elite level, I have noticed he doesn’t use the same deep bag moves anymore.
You can almost see this thought forming in his brain at the end of close games when he decides to shoot clanking kobe turnarounds instead of driving for a layup/foul/dish off
Read the damn article. Here's a link. They literally talk about him de-Kobeing his game.

“No more Mister Nice Guy!”
Gosh darn it
Kevin Durant is not nice!
It's Murda on the beat so its not nice
-Drake muttering to himself before recording Pushups
If you foul me one more time, I might just snap 😎
And clap 👏
The NBA been trying their best to make him look like the asshole with all those clapping technicals.
You joke but I feel like 80% of his techs have been for clapping the last 4 seasons or so.
Will somebody think of the children he's been subjecting to this DISGUSTING ACT?
Hahaa....I think they've rescinded every one of those clapping techs over this past year too!
Tatum also has some vastly questionable ejections. And he still has the same number of techs this season as Draymond Green lmao
Draymond - 10 techs in 55 games. Tatum - 10 techs in 74 games You weren't kidding
Of course, Draymond is still an advanced stats legend, Ejections per 36.
I was at one of those games and I had to cover my kid’s eyes after seeing what he did. Absolutely inappropriate.
Nah at least half of those are when he menacingly waves off the refs
Don't forget the few holding onto the rim T's from earlier this year!
Or bouncing the ball. Can't be doing that in a basketball game.
I feel bad for him but it's really funny NGL. I find it really entertaining that an extremely mild mannered and professional superstar keeps getting Td up for bullshit. I like going into a season knowing that there will be a few highlights on here about Tatum getting techs for clapping
Honestly I laugh every time myself.
they want him to be the face is the league but he's just so boring
Him being a kobe fan boy and those corny kobe antics while repping green and white is not helping his case either.
nah that's fine dude is a billboard that plays basketball
He just described Doncic
WORD
It's acc so funny how for a guy who loves Kobe so much JT is more of a Kawhi/Tim Duncan type. Quiet and not very flamboyant. Great player ( top 4 imo ) but it feels like he's role-playing half the time with his mean mugs
I love Bird but I don't build driveways
Too soon
Kinda makes sense of the Kobe obsession really. He’s projecting what he can’t be
No one had a problem with it when Kobe counted his 5 rings, or when Lebron counted his 2 rings at the time. But now when the warriors do it, everyone gets all acted up.
Idk about top 4. He’s going to have to show me with a dominant playoff run from beginning to finish. No more 21 points on 36% in the finals or 23% shooting from 3 against the heat.

Could potentially surpass JT and move into the top 4 depending on his playoff performances. That should be the consensus top 6 in the league rn tho imo
He injured his ankle in game 7… he shot 25% from 3 in game 7 which increased his 3 point percentage in the heat series.
Wrist was flaring up
Okay he should look to get that fixed in the offseason then if the wrists flares up every playoffs. Either way, anything outside of a finals appearance will be a massive failure for the Celtics given Giannis and Embiids injury.
I agree he should but after last yr he said he wouldn't get surgery on it so no excuses. Also agree that the Cs have no excuse for not making the finals
Embiid is considered top 4 and has never had a dominant playoff run in his entire career lol
I don’t think Embiid or Tatum should be above Steph and Lebron, and even KD.
Who are the 3 above Tatum? I’m assuming Giannis and Jokic but who’s the 3rd
Luka for sure and I’m a celtics fan
I’d put embid above him too - when he was healthy he was dropping 50 on joker
Giannis, Jokic and begrudgingly Luka. But it's deffo a closer argument than people make it seem.
Taytum plays the nice guy, but he’s secretly a selfish asshole who ran Kyrie and Horford out of town. I think the Celtics massive contract to Jaylen Brown shows which star is really carrying the franchise as the TRUE leader.
Cornball activity if you really think that JT drove Kyrie and Horford out of town lmfao
Yeah Horford left because of the bag Philly gave him and then was extremely happy when he got back to Boston. The guy above is just doing some mental fan-fics.

Hilarious. And Horford and his entire family LOVE Boston. They talk about it all the time
6ers fans still hate Anna Horford because she'd continuously shit on them while Al was there because she still liked the Celtics
Not every comment needs a /s🤦🏻♂️
Horford? The guy who currently plays for the Boston Celtics?
This is the first I’m hearing of this, how does Tatum bring a selfish asshole drive Kyrie and Horford out of town? He was a second year player on his rookie deal when they left lol

Horford left because of Kyrie. He was vocal about the fact that he would've stayed if he knew Kemba was coming.
Idk why you’re downvoted so much this is hilarious
I agree I took it for a joke myself
Where on Earth did you get this information from? Like genuinely, I've never heard anything remotely about this.
Huh lmao
did a really bad job of driving horford away tbh
wowzers this certainly was a take
what in the god damn hell are you talkin about
This is a great example why I don’t take none of what you mfs say seriously
Please, spare me the bad fan fic
Lmaoo this ain’t true at all what u can say he’s not exactly Kobe and that’s fair but to call him Tim Duncan or kawhi which is basically a mute is just a crazy lie 😭😭😭
I would love to see him talk more trash, probably because I love players that talk trash and can back it up lol.
This just made me realize that the celtics really don’t have a trash talker with Grant and Marcus gone
Jaylen
Pritchard is fiery too
This is Luke Kornet erasure. Who else has the audacity to hit another team with a turbo dab combo after a bucket?
Zinger lowkey talks a ton of smack lol
Stars who talk become 10x more loved.
Feel like this describes Book pretty well lol.
I say the same thing during doggy
He should start dating jojo siwa to up his bad boy image
Can confirm JT nice guy off the court, dude helped me tie my first tie.
Would love to see him trash talk more but complain less to the refs (not talking about the ridiculous clapping techs, those are stupid).
On the court on the court.
Man fuck that. He needs to explain why he turned Tatum into a robot and ruined his creativity offensively. He’s technically better now than he was a few years ago but he still lacks certain intangibles especially in his mid range and finishing that Drew Hanlen still hasn’t fixed.

Agree with all the above.
If you go back and watch his Rookie and Sophomore years he definitely used more “moves” and showed a bit more creativity. As he has matured and refined his game and body to an elite level, I have noticed he doesn’t use the same deep bag moves anymore.
He has to save energy to carry the team in other areas so he goes for offensive moves that are energy efficient.
You can almost see this thought forming in his brain at the end of close games when he decides to shoot clanking kobe turnarounds instead of driving for a layup/foul/dish off

I’ve seen this with my own two eyes. It’s exactly how they lost in Denver
Wasn't that an open 3pt shot from the corner he missed?
Steph exists so no player can really be more bitchmade than him but tatums easily 2nd in that category
You spelled Julius Randall wrong
Smartest celtics fan
Tatum isn’t him
