The face of the league is one of those things, "You can't define it but you'll know it when you see it."
JT is a system type of player.
When he is on the court you might not notice him but when he sits, you can notice that the team doesn't function as usual.
He is special because he can do everything that you ask him to and one of the things is to take the back seat.
Jason tatum is very unique. And the media can't aknowledge for what he is and does.
He's not dramatic and it's ok. Most fans know him. Later on he can flex and build his team like others but he cool. My wizards would love him
Hes actually not a system player. That's quite possibly what he's least like. He's a iso-guy (kobe adulation) that has reformed his game to THIS team.
Other than that, I agree.
@wannabegolfin24-72 he led Boston in assist this post season, how many iso guys are doing that? I wish he was more selfish
He’s a hooper. Period. Just laces up, goes out, and balls out. But doesn’t quite have the charisma or standout personality to carry a league yet. He could end up best player in the world, but probably won’t ever be face of league. Think Tim Duncan.
My issue with Tatum being face of the league, there's at least 5 players better than him at the moment, when Jordan and Bron was the face, they were the best player in the league at the time.
Excluding the old guard.... Embid, Gianis, Jokic, Luka and maybe my guy in Memphis....Morant. is your 5?
@@KenUghiovhejoker luka Gianna’s embiid shai but I then put Tatum then ant
It's arguable that Tatum isn't even the best American born player. Why would he be the face of the league?
I wonder how can ANT be the face of the NBA if he also is not the best player in the NBA and doesn't have any championships or MVPs or nothing?
Jokic who else who is not near retirement. Luka doesn't play Defense
The Spurs also never repeated even though they have 5 titles.
Exactly
Rob is an idiot he think if they won in 2013 that they’ll win in 2014 lol
Repeating is hard, 3 peating even harder.
They played far tougher competition and in an a harder era than the Bulls.
@@hitek9too255that’s very very debatable
3:48 Rob Parker wanted to say “Cornball Brother” 😂 but then remembered what happened the least time he used that word 😂
Haaaaa! I wouldn't know Rob Parker if it weren't for his cornerball brother remarks
Then Skip talked about how he’s a real brotha because he has dreadlocks! And Stephen A. started scolding everyone!
The whole segment was a glorious dumpster fire!😂
That’s the day i realized rob parker was a real mf’er
Tatum did that corny thing after the finals but he was never a cornball he's not a shame battier
Tell us
Being the face of a league is more than just being great at that sport
100%. And while he’s an awesome player, he’s very clearly a level or two below the best players in the sport (Joker, Giannis, Luka, etc.)
Gotta have charisma. Gonna be a longggg time before there is another lebron.
@@eddiecoker4808a long time before it will be another mj matter of fact never will be another mj
LeBron held the face of the league title well. Married his childhood sweetheart. No cheating,drugs, or off the court scandals!! Speaks very well. Great father. Teaches upcoming athletes how to treat their body.
@@claydouglas2526A level but not two
Jason Tatum has no aura!!! That’s why it’s so easy for people to say Jalen brown is the star of the team
JB has the personality of a potato!
@@funkslave9425facts lol they just had the man got nothing more to say about him so
@@funkslave9425he has more personality than Jayson Tatum
Jaylen brown play with a killer instinct whole tatum play more like it's a game and I will play my pace. He doesn't have the killer instinct
@@fakedazzleful y'all be reading right over what Tatum did Tatum said those things to take the pressure off his team he was talking from a team leader standpoint so MFS don't get nervous and play out of control,Tatum knew when it was time he was gonna turn into that killer ,where was that killer last year from brown against Miami ,when Tatum got hurt? That was his time to show the world he was better than Tatum and he blew it,8 turnovers in a close out games 7 last time Tatum was in a game 7 he scored 50 prior to that Miami series with that ankle sprain when brown is down it's like all his skills are gone ,his defense starts to look iffy , turning over the ball dumb fouls ,he becomes a liability on the court where to Tatum if his shot not falling he can give that effort into anything else be the top rebounder and play maker and would guard a big if he has to ,what y'all think brown did to Luka is what Tatum actually did to Durant vs Brooklyn brown couldn't do nothing with Luka besides some key plays but Tatum actually guarded Durant
Tatum is quiet and soft-spoken. If you look at old video of him in high school with his friend Matthew Thachuk, his demeanour hasn’t changed.
If he’s so quiet and soft-spoken, why was he 4th in the league in technical fouls? He’s near the top of that category every year.
He is not
@@Eskewsmehe cares about his image off the court and nothing is wrong with that
@@Eskewsmebecause he cries and whines but still soft spoken tho
As a Celtics fan, he’s not the face of the NBA because he doesn’t have “it”. Doesn’t have that dawg mentality. And he consistently takes horrible step back 3s, lol.
Jaylen brown is
Idk how you can say he doesnt have that “it” when he just won the title as the best player on the team and has proved time and time again that he comes up big in the playoffs
@@coreycartaya2026 his efficiency is not great in the playoffs. He regularly settles for horrible shots. I love him, but he’s frustrating to watch. Anybody who knows basketball can see this.
@@coreycartaya2026 Best player on the team, huh? So he must have gotten that FMVP, right?
@@sheezle3 led the team in points rebounds and assists the entire playoffs idk what else you want man, finals mvp is a media voted award
Allen Iverson was low-key the face of the NBA around 2001
True dat the most popular player after MJ retired in '98
Jason Tatum is so far away from being that kind of guy that winning a title did less for his inage than winning a single Finals game did for Allen Iverson 23 years ago
Beautifully succinct, bro
That “legacy win” lives on for Ivo
Denied the Lakers an undefeated postseason. And that is how the 2001 Finals are remembered: Iverson’s Game 1
Damn if it ain’t true
Damn. You broke that down to the bone.
Nobody cares that Iverson did that thing that 1 game. he didn’t end up with a ring on his finger and that’s what matters. You just fruity
Quite possibly the most asinine nba take ive ever heard.
jt has no rizz. his vibes are low key.
Speak English
That’s a facts. He is a wannabe
Y'all niggas looking for a crush?
@@irvingzeistman9828the ability to have people like you based of who you are, dress, talk etc. people love to be followers in this world. Tatum only problem I see at least is he isn’t being very authentic. He just gotta be himself forget about being the face of the league just ball out
@Welcome28487 You just said a whole lot of nothing dude . That’s doesn’t even make sense 😒
That’s why Nike didn’t want JB out there. JB would be like give me the rock. He would be the best player on that team.
Tatum has a smooth game, and it’s not aggressive. He’s a soft superstar. Last year against MIA he shy’d away from guarding Butler when he clearly should’ve took on the challenge.
lol what are you talking bout . Butler didn’t even play nun but a half
Butler was not playing well against the Celtics. It was the role players that cooked them you casual
@@michaelharris1254 too quick to respond lol. Read it again
@@d.michael372 I’m good
@@d.michael372 Naw Caleb Martin cooked Boston bro they was tryna make Tatum guard bam more because their bigs stayed hurt ,Tatum took the KD challenge and swept KD the team every body thought was going to win it all
For JT to be face of League he's gotta at least be the clearcut alpha on his own team... Are we even there yet..?
Just because Jaylen Brown doesn’t smile doesn’t mean he is better than Tatum ..
Jaylen Brown does not have 3 straight First Team All-NBA selections, he averages less points, rebounds and assists than Tatum. Tatum leads the Celtics in plus minus. Scouting reports plans for Tatum. We can go on and on but its evidently a dumb statement that he's not "the alpha" of the team.
@@zuhayrakhan..sorry...nope. JB is a better player...PERIOD. JB is a winning player.... Tatum is basically a really good complimentary piece....he is the most replaceable player on the celtics
@@berniekerns4281 You just said a whole bunch of nothing
@@zuhayrakhan whos outplayed who in both finals theyve played?
I like this guy. They should bring him back
JTs humility is his best character trait
Why are we always wanting to criticize people? Why can’t Jason Tatum just be his authentic self?
It’s not really criticism. Face of the league is a actual thing for commercials and everything else
His authentic self is boring. Sports are entertainment
@@OscarUnrated are you there to be entertained by his play or his personality.. tf
Give me the quiet 27 in a win over a loud 40 in a loss any day. I’ll take a Tim Duncan career over a Westbrook / harden career any day of the week
That’s true but if I want to go watch a game live. I’m not watching Duncan or Tatum 😂
@@VernonTang-d1d that’s a fact.
Aura without accolades doesn't impress me much.
One comes before the other
Anthony Edwards is 2nd Team All NBA and lead his team to the Conference Finals and is the only player since LeBron lead his team in points, assist,and steals and get to the Conference Finals at 22 YEARS OLD. .
@@dre7147 I like the kid, but he needs more than that in his resume bro. He needs to accomplish something special to put him there.
I pulled up stats for postseason play at 22 for Ant, Kobe, and Mike.
Playoff stats for Ant at 22
27.6 ppg / 7.0 rpg / 6.5 apg / 1.5 spg / 0.6 bpg
Efficiency: 48/40/81
Playoff stats for Kobe at 22
29.4 ppg / 7.3 rpg / 6.1 apg / 1.6 spg / 0.8 bpg
Efficiency: 47/33/82
Playoff stats for Mike at 22
43.7 ppg / 6.3 rpg / 5.7 apg / 2.3 spg / 1.3 bpg
Efficiency: 51/100/87
I know there are many factors in the outcomes here, but Kobe got his 2nd ring at 22, and mike set the all time playoff scoring record with 63 points in a game at 22. Neither were considered the "face of the league" just yet... But they were right there at the top of the running. Ant needs a big moment to get him there.
@@dre7147created as stat tatum was the first at 22 23 24 25 26 to do alot of things to lead his tean yo a conference finals
The disrespect to Tim Duncan is wild, he’s top 10 all-time. Tatum is not consistently dominant enough to be the face of the league but he’s still a champion so the hate needs to stop.
Duncan gets a lot of undue disrespect from Kobe fans who hate the fact that literally every single cumulative value stat says Duncan was the superior player
Is it disrespectful to say he was not the face of the NBA? I don't think so. They were pretty much praising his performances. I don't see how that's being disrespectful.
I agree that Tim Duncan is criminally underrated. I, in fact, think he's better at [between-the-lines] basketball than:
(1) Shaquille O'neal;
(2) Kobe Bryant;
(3) Steph Curry; and
(4) Lebron James.
He never seems to get credit for being higher than those guys, though. In my eyes, the reason he doesn't get greater recognition is because *he doesn't have star power* . *He was a boring player* (the most boring all-timer that I know of).
@@0-Elias-0 Yes on 3 and (especially) 2; much tougher case on 1 and (especially) 4 when you look at the cumulative value metrics.
Tim Duncan is probably the most underrated player of all time. And it's precisely because he didn't play to the media or fans. Just to winning. Very good comparison to Tatum.
Melo wanted to be the "Face of the League" but his greediness and selfishness got in the way of winning. Winning is more important than personality.
Here’s a new title, the world, values arrogance versus humility 👍🏼
Facts!!
World is twisted.
Only reason no young guys are the face is because the media won't allow to the narrative to shift off lebron
Bingo even when Steph was on fire 2016 they gave the league back to Lebron🥱
@@Dipset415
LeBron beat Steph in 2016
Totally wrong these young guys are not consistent the league wanted to push Ja but more recently they’re trying to push Ant man the reason is they show a level of dog in them JT is like Duncan minus the clutch
That’s it , that’s all
@@dparks2856Steph had just beat Lebron and just came off 66 and 73 wins 2 mvps
The style of play in the NBA has neutered all potential “Dawgs”
Huh ?
Soft style. Soft rules. Analytics driven. Majority of the players have a similar skill set.
Ant Edwards. Giannis. Jokic. Will all relentlessly bury their opponents in various ways.
@@entertainingsportshighligh7525 what’s got you confused ?
@@mobrown1198 agreed it’s very boring now
Media will build you up to tear you down. JT been winning since day 1. Pull up his eastern conference numbers then pull up browns now go check out the narrative on JT during those games it made no sense. They played a more unselfish brand of ball this year Tatum and Brown to win and they did that
No one’s saying he’s not a great player.
He’s just 1) not quite on the level of the game’s best and 2) not dynamic enough of a personality to make up for that gap.
@@claydouglas2526 he has out performed Greek and KD head to head in series with even talent on both teams im sorry he has proven he can be on that level he switch his game a bit being less aggressive trying to pick his spots better but overall he has been first team back to back years so he actually was Top 5 this year because first team is position less
@@Tonyoung55 Even talent? By what metric? He plays on a much better team than KD and Giannis, so head-to-head series are a non sequitur.
There’s not a single cumulative value metric that suggests Tatum was a top 10, let alone top 5, player last year. He was 14th in PER, 15th in WS/48, and 15th in BPM.
The all-NBA nod was due him being the (by far) best team’s best player, not due to him actually being one of the league’s top 5 individual contributors.
@@claydouglas2526 when Boston and The bucks last played the talent was pretty even Tatum showed up and out and when he last played The nets the talent was close
@@Tonyoung55 You’re referring to a span of 11 games that were played 2+ years ago. Thats not a large enough sample size
Forget about if Ray Allen didn't make the 3pt. Duncan would have 6 rings if he didn't miss that point blank lay up
No because the timeline would of been different the spurs were hungry in 2014 if they won in 2013 they wouldn't of repeated
I remember when that draft came. And ppl were saying Carmelo was going to be better than LeBron. They were very wrong.
Wtf does this comment have to do with this video?? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Y'all stay glazing LeBron no matter the cost
Why would Tatum care about that? I just got a championship and 300+ million and I got a baby on the way.
Hopefully he doesn't. If he doesn't buy into this narrative...he can wake up with 3 championships in a row. Really this is Boston's biggest competitor...media trying to sow discord amongst their players.
It's all about personality and emotion. Jason Tatum doesn't show enough of either one
Some personalities possess more gravitas than others.
why does it matter if hes the face of the NBA? Cs are best team in bball if they keep winning who cares. Hes still young, not at his prime. Hes done what team needed to win, guarded 5s against mavs. He might get better next few years. Anyway if theyre like 2000s Pistons that were winning without a superstar, theyre still best.
JT chose winning over all, and thats much more important. they managed to put their egos aside this year, with all-start starting lineup that worked as 1. Nobody cried about his shots, about role, about packing order. With 5 guys like that you cant play like Luka or Lebron. Wouldnt work, those guys are not just spot-up shooters. They used KP in the middle as a hub and he either distributed or finished over guys , when he was with Luka it just didnt work. Also JB had a ball a lot, White had a ball a lot, they even used old man Al down low to mix it up, a little postups. Thats why (with KP healthy) its a coin toss between those 3 who would be a series MVP, depending on matchup.
As for US team - you should ask Steve Kerr what theyre doing, cause nobody else actually knows.. it doesnt look good.
It mattered for viewership. That’s why when Tom Brady left, the NFL quickly shifted to mahomes being the face and star.
JT is the guy billionaires and bankers want to play golf with and invite to their exclusive events
Thanks Rob and crew, you’re holding me down during the dog days of no sport!
That is a fact. The NFL preseason can't come fast enough
All Tim Duncan did was win, or have the Spurs in a position to win. Wasn't even CLOSE to being the " face" of the league. We've been conditioned to value style over all around substance; " Gab" over silence. In other words....carry a big stick, but dare not walk softly.
Tatum is probably already the new face of the NBA but even if he isn't yet he will be after the Celtics win it again next season
Honestly… the media won’t let go of Lebron with the help of R Paul . They could easily pivot to other players but the NBA and Sports Media refuse to
That's not how it works. It comes down to who the fans are also talking about whether good or sometimes bad. Including the media. No different than when Hollywood tries to promote certain actors as the next movie star. But it doesn't always work depending on the audience.
they’re still using Lebron to save the NBA and they should move on from him too
Numbers don’t lie lol and he brings the most that’s why you here commenting about him
Lebron is the face because he earned it. Look at him on the Olympic team.
@@presise KD’s out… that’ll change.
It’s called swagger. And people rather see bravado than a humble guy that just goes about his business quietly.
Now winning doesn’t matter
Jayson Tatum's a great sportsman, but he's just *missing 1.5 key ingredients* [for being the face of the league]: *Joy*
*He's missing the joy for the game* . He doesn't seem to be getting happiness from on-the-court play (especially in the playoffs). *I can't remember ever seeing him smiling during a playoff game* .
So, although he's easy to root for, he leave fans [virtually] cringing every time he touches the ball. He makes you feel sad/pity for him.
I still see him as *a tragic figure* ; *I feel sad for him* ... ...and I think it's because he never shows any on-the-court joy for the game.
He just doesn’t have the it factor. People just haven’t gravitated towards him in that way
Ja Morant they should have made him do the dunk contest instead of making him miss all those games that would have been a better punishment and brought back the dunk contest to the superstars
Face of the NBA always have that it factor which is Charisma. I dont see it on JT. Luka, Ant and Wemby have that it factor.
And that Morant fellow, if he doesn't felon😂
Wemby had the same level of charisma and Tatum lol wtf y'all reaching Tatum got charisma but his is locked in 80 percent of the game
@@user-gz7cb5ew4p i dont like Ja but he does got it im not gonna lie. He should resolve its personal issues for sure he can also become one of the face of the league
@@DaMillerBoi laugh what ever you like but JT doesnt draw me to him. He might be a great player but he doesn't appeal to fans but i might agree with you bc i believe JB is better than JT
@@xofmetleh6618i dont see it brown is a tatum feeder he eats off of tatum distractions he cant do it by himself tatum not the most exciting i agree but yall talking about his personality off the court is any different than anybody else , like what does luka and wemby , embiid, giannis do off the court? Giannis just tell corny jokes from the early 2000s its new to him but Luka and wemby doesn't show you enough of them to say they gave sny ounce of personality so far from wemby hes just like s young tatum when it comes to his interviews
JT is like Tim Duncan in that sense.
Except JT will never become a top 10 all-time player in league history…
Him and Duncan are both soft spoken.
Comparisons challenge ended
@@erickerrison9782 never is hard to guess, he's still young, but I would agree its unlikely, the odds are just so small to be that great and win so much, but you can't say its 0 either given the team they have.
@@jayzee316Tatum need to win some MVPs, final mvps, DPOY lead the league in one of the statistics category to make top 10 all time. It’s too competitive and ambitious
@@VernonTang-d1d I just meant demeanor and being not looked at due to lack of "charisma/personality" like an Antman. not comparing his career to Duncan by any means, way more to prove.
Tatum 1. Mello 0
As a Celtics fan for 41 years I promise we don’t care he’s face of the league as long as we win
"finally" broke through at (checks notes) 26😂
🤡s man lol
The discussion is about JT but their comments on ant man were spot on if the wolves don't win soon the whole media narrative around him will change
sheesh Rob Parker let the man finish his statement 5:12 lol
Crap Melo is getting more bitter by the day
The funny thing about Tatum is I feel like he knows all this which is why he’s always trying to create moments because organically he just doesn’t have that aura
The players speak in cliche's, hate the fans, and play a drive and kick, 3 point shooting style of play. The prices are too high for tickets and the players that seem to give a damn, are from Eastern Europe.
It’s your fault, Fox, that Tatum isn’t getting his shine. Y’all made it up in y’all mind that Tatum wasn’t it after 2022 and 2023.
Tatum is the most accomplished Playoff younger guy in the league. More playoff points at his age than anyone. More early success than anyone not named Magic, Bird, or Duncan. Y’all refuse to give him his flowers, so all he can do is keep playing the right way and stack the accolades.
It's simple terms his play style and his attitude is not a aggressive when he is compared to the greats.
All the greats show passion, winning and aggressiveness, and dominate personality
Young cats haven’t improved their game especially on defense
No shot you talking about tatum when he is elite on defense
? Tatum was top 10 in DWS last year.
How much more would you reasonably expect him to improve his defensive game?
If Derek fisher or horry didn't hit those shots, kobe would only have 3 rings
JT don’t want that. It’s not his personality and that’s ok. Antman has the personality but the jury is still out about if he has the talent.
These two just gave a horrible comparison between the face of baseball and the face of basketball. You can’t logically compare the two. For example, unlike basketball, a single star or individual in baseball and other sports cannot carry a below average team (talent-wise), to the championship or deep into the playoffs. It’s more of a team effort. For example, what would be the equivalent in baseball or football, to that first Cleveland Cavaliers team Lebron took to the Finals? It’s not going to happen in baseball, football or soccer, no matter how good a star on that team is.
Then they essentially repeat what Wade and Melo said about Anthony Edwards and Tatum.
Geezus!!
I would say Patrick mahomes could no matter how good his team is
@@MarvelMadness2003 BS!! If that defense, offensive line and Special Teams is below average he’s not getting out of the parking lot
JT is cool, I’ll happily earn a billion plus dollars playing basketball and signing endorsement deals. Don’t got to be the face of the league. Tim Duncan is living a great life right now
He’s not a top 10, let alone 5 or 3, player and he’s not all that compelling of a personality.
Realistically you need both - even Joker, who’s been the best player for nearly a half-decade now, isn’t really a cultural / commercial icon the way Curry, LeBron, etc. were during their primes.
I try to tell ppl Tatum is not top 10. Just because the Celtics has had very successful winning seasons don't make him close to the face. Edward's,LeBron,Steph,Durant,Luka,Giannis,Jokic,Wemby,Embid,Alexander all better than Tatum.
@@chrisjones9797 Just need to look at all the cumulative value stats - he’s in the 10-15 range in PER, WS/48, VORP, BPM, etc.
Awesome, awesome player, but a rung below the top level.
@@claydouglas2526 I agree
@@chrisjones9797what is Shai embiid and wemby personality? Y'all reaching now Tatum is a top 5 rn all around player yes probably not top 5 scorer but when his shot falling it's nobody better than him, definitely when he remembers he's 6'9 Tatum it to the hole
@@DaMillerBoi I wasn't speaking on personality. But if you ask me to build a team right now. I'm definitely taking Embid and Wemby over Tatum. And next year I'm taking Shai. They are natural born leaders. Something Tatum is not. Yeah he may be a better talent than Jalen Brown. That's the reason he was the first option on the Celtics. But when the pressure on Jalen was the guy. It is what it is
Rob agreeing with players on a podcast. I’m shocked lol

Pause
@@USA-190 and reflect...
Jt mess around and give u a quiet 40 5&8
The biggest issue is that people and the media keep trying to MAKE someone into the face of the league. It’s inorganic, and it doesn’t really work. You can’t force people to be drawn to a player, it just kind of happens. Also, it’s no knock against a guy to not have that kind of charisma.
If Duncan wins in 13, it’s not a given that the Spurs go on to win again in 14.
Just putting 6/6 out there as a commandment of some sort is ridiculous.
He has it. He's very talented. He's just inconsistent. So is AD. So is Ant. If Tatum was consistent, he'd probably be the best player in the league and they'd be like the Warriorsor something. If AD was consistent, he'd probably be the best big in the league and the Lakers would probably be serious contenders every year. If Ant was consistent, it'd probably be no question who the best shooting guard is and they probably would have won the championship or at least competed with Dallas
Melo is absolutely correct!
In 20 yrs he went past the 1st twice haha
This topic is pointless and subjective...i never saw kobe curry or lbj as the face of the sport...
So who was it? Or who you thought it was ?
Then you're in the extreme minority. Metrics, views, and revenue across all forms of media displayed that at different times, Kobe, Curry and LBJ have been among the faces of the league.
It doesn’t matter if you think they were the face of the league. Every one else and the media thought they were.
Melo just be saying sh*t.
Jason Tatum just ain’t “Like That “
7:05 It shows that the media cannot decide for the fans who their favorite star athlete is to watch, the fans decide who they want to watch. The media keeps trying to manufacture stars and throw athletes in our faces instead of it happening organically.
Yall was just killing brown last yr saying no left brown....now yall claiming he the face of Boston...man stop it he is not better then jason...
Thats how you know Tatum that guy lol they will say anything to discredit you just like they did Kobe abs Bron, if Tatum had allegations nobody would not be speaking on his personality lol
rob LOVES baseball like wifey! lol
I don’t think there’s going to be one guy.. I think it’s going to be by committee.. Edward’s, Luka, Tatum, n maybe Ja .. I don’t think one is going to be the face of the league

How you win a chip and people still complaining
the word aura is too gay tbh
Tellling u everybody is gay nowadays 🤣🤣💯💯

@@vincente4570 see what I mean what straight man uses that emoji 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That sounds like Dwyane Wade talking not Melo???
The face of the NBA is Patrick McCaw!
the guy 3-peat
stl stand up
Its because Tatum plays for Boston. The Boston Celtics are the 3rd favorite sports team in Boston. Despite them winning a Chip, the Patriots and Red Sox both having terrible seasons won't keep them from being more popular teams in the area. Boston simply isn't a Basketball town. If you can't be the Sports face of your town, you can't be the face of the league.
He’s not a good enough player or a dynamic enough personality.
You think ~2015 LeBron wouldn’t have been the face of the league if he played in Boston?
It don't have nothing to do with were he plays....it has to do with if he has the swag or the aura and we don't look at Jayson Tatum that way
Of Boston isn't a basketball town then we are in trouble lol. It's only the Greatest org off all time. Boston is just a great sports city. Larry Bird Bill Russel are probably the most loved athletes. Heck even Paul Pierce became a borderline superstar. JT just doesn't have the personality and his game is smooth. He isn't that exciting
Playing for Boston,Lakers, Cowboys always gives you a better chance of getting any awards and recognition than any other team in their sport. That was wrong on so many different levels.
@@eddiecampbell9663 y'all focused had on Boston so bad y'all think Tatum doesn't have swagger ?y'all just want him to be the loudest in the room
I agree he doesn’t have aura or it factor but in my opinion he playing better in the USA basketball because he doesn’t take a lot bad 3 pts shots or bad tough shots but because his coach has a system to shoot a lot of 3 pts shot that what hurting his efficiency that’s what hurts his stock the most and then the toughness
In my opinion. Anthony Edwards is the next face of the NBA. His game and personality are entertaining.
Hes not the face because he's a underwhelming performer when it matters most. We see what we see
Isn’t there room for a new or different model? The notion of winning occurring through shared leadership is too much for these people to handle. He is the overall better player but his teammate is a dog in critical moments when he doesn’t have it. It’s called teamwork.
The CEO is great and the COO steps in and sures up the gaps when things get crazy. Sounds like a good leadership team to me. The old guard has to go.
Now winning doesn’t matter, I see my most Athletes here the media
This show is so afraid to mention Luka.... Wonder why😂😂😂😂😂
They need to stop with this face of the league garbage. You have multiple faces, why not use them all? That way you don’t look like a league that jumps ship every other season.
Every sport has a face. That’s why the nfl went from Brady to mahomes
@@MarvelMadness2003 Brady is a tested legend. The NBA keeps trying to make whoever is the best player that wins the NBA finals the face or some young talent. That’s why they keep changing. Just embrace a few players. If any of them rise and stay consistent, then make that person the face.
Lebron James is still the face of the league and will be until he retires or really regresses as a basketball player. he still has the biggest aura, he still is the main attraction in terms of how much the player is talked about, he has the most clout and power, and he is still one of the best players in the nba. Lebron is also still the most polarizing figure in the league its pretty clear he is still the face and always will be
Nope it’s curry.
@@samoso6979 lmao this dude said Curry. 😂
@@samoso6979Curry wasn't even the face when he was beating LeBron. Stop it😅😅😅
@chrisjones9797 yes he was, currently they are 1a and 1b
@@kemarbrown9448 stop it. Yall forcing this😂
I would say Steph and LeBron shared it briefly before KD came to Golden State.
The Spurs analogy was prefect Rob. Shout out to Timmy D
As a casual, Tatum comes off as a generic player from this era. Big guy with handles who prefers shooting 3s. He doesn’t seem aggressive & nothing stands out; if he didn’t play for Boston he wouldn’t be in the convo as the face
The face of a league conversations are so unnecessary
Who is the face of golf? The only name that comes to mind is McIlroy. I didn’t think of Tiger because I didn’t think he played in all the tournaments. Seems like I only hear about him every once in a while.
I think it's WILD that LeBron is the face of the league still. Ant definitely has the possibility to be it from on and off the court but at the same time. Ja is big in pop culture.
"Jokic doesn't have personality" Such BS
Not world wide superstar personality nobody cares
Besides Joel embiid to me he's the best player he's definitely the best nine big man and normally I would prefer the wing over the big butt Joel embiid is just so skilled its dirk 2.0
Much harder to win the whole thing in baseball if you are the best player. 1/9 chance buddy!
I really don't think Melo or anybody go be saying that after season. The unwarranted Media pressure put on not just Jayson,but Jaylen. Don't drag ANT do that same BS. See this is back what I said about MJ,Kobe,Duncan,,,etc( none of this kind of pressure was put upon him at age 23,24,25,26,27). U just let him play into a Superstar. Lebron,Kareem is they exception, they came in the league with all the pressure in the world.
