People forget Tatum was the ONLY American to make 1st Team All NBA! He has the right to start every game over all the players!
@play3r0ne78 People foeget All NBA means absolutely nothing in international competition because it's a different game with different refs, rules and a different team that doesn't cater to one or two star players. It's way more of a team game.
@play3r0ne78 People also forget the team won and there really isn't a big problem here

@MISTERBLVNCO You saw 5 second footage of Tatum not smiling, cleverly selected by the media to paint a narrative and act like that was dude the whole game. Imagine being that gullible. He was cheering the guys on like everybody else. Can tell you didn't even watched the game.
If Tatum needs any pointers on riding the pine, I can help!! :)

It adds up, because NBA is a modified game to showcase individuals and FIBA is about team basketball. As demonstrated with Joel Embiid being great in one doesn’t mean you’re the same player in the other.

right and he won by 20
Kerr is a lot like Popovich. He’s really good at coaching stacked teams.

This Olympics is just too stacked , last Olympics Tatum was arguably the 2nd best player , hell zack lavine was getting minutes. The end result is all that matters
He should enjoy his championship and that cool 317 million dollar contract he just signed
@@dipset6845 I would agree with that. He probably should have just stayed home and let all the NBA losers go to the Olympics.
what a loser mentality
And I'm not bashing Steve Kerr and I commend Jayson Tatum for the way he responded and that was the proper way as an athlete as a person and that was the right thing and he deserves a lot of respect and that's the way you do as a person as a leader and I want to say thank you for teaching others how to do this as a player as a person cuz that goes a long way of teaching others how to do stuff in the proper way
🤡🤡
What you're doing is really sweeping under the rug the event that we saw that we think was not right. Don't commend Tatum for he did not do something which he should do because it was not under his control. Respecting Tatum is also not an issue because he's not asking for any respect. Actually, a lot of people thought that he was disrespected.
Don't talk about teaching when you're trying to show a part of a whole picture. That is actually not teaching but deceiving.
I just love how everybody's being so disingenuous about a top 5 to 7 player in the NBA not getting into an Olympic basketball game.😂
Team USA is made up of super stars and it’s competitive basketball they’re playing. This isn’t the all star game where everyone gets their shine and they’re out having fun. It’s almost as if team USA could be better served taking 9 all stars and 3 high end role players who won’t be bummed out about not playing. Idk.
Canada is built like an NBA team for example. They have a superstar in SGA. A star in Jamaal Murray, then the rest of their team is high end role players. Like RJ Barrett, Lu Dort, Dillon Brooks, etc. so I bet they’re having an easier time adjusting to playing together.
Also not saying Canada will beat USA, just showing the difference in how the teams are built.
So now NBA champion Jayson Tatum is now being compared to rookie Caitlin Clark? Ok, got it...
"Its more of snub if Caitlin Clark isn't playing than Tatum", lay off the drugs Dan this is your intervention. Well I agree, its not a big deal not starting Tatum due to seniority and fits makes fights, Tatum is a much better/accomplished basketball player than Clark. NBA Champ, Conference Finals and All-star MVP, 3x NBA First team, was top 6 in MVP voting twice all in 7 years
tatum was the Tokyo's games 2nd best player behind KD
You literally killed Tatum, all that accomplishment and he didnt even entered the game. Wierd
"Durant is the best international player we've ever had." ...and MJ just took that personally.
WHO HAS BEEN 1ST TEAM ALL NBA 3 YEARS IN A ROW? Tatum. 💯
@SaySpawn Irrelevant. This ain't the NBA or the Boston Celtics.
On the First dream team, they had different starting line ups. Some games Barkley came off the bench, some games Magic did not play, every once and while changes. Nobody said anything. In today' s game with social media, everything is a issue.....
Was there a game where guys you mentioned had a DNP Coach's Decison?
@@tradedossierIt doesn't even matter... Times are different. Unless the team actually loses, what's happened 32 years ago is irrelevant to this team
The dream team was different. The whole team was great. Tatum was better than 3 that got minutes. He should have some minutes.
@@LutherPittmanwas Stockton better than magic because magic missed a game . Stop with the silly nonsense
@@curtiszyr dude do not compare the dream team to this team. Stop bro. You know if stockton and magic was on this team you would have started magic over stockton.

@@SaySpawnBooker’s better
Always thought Durant was the difference for USA basketball ever since he came on the scene as a youngster….
Kerr was looking to send Tatum a message, and he did just that. Embarrassed him on national TV.
Jokes aside, what was the message?
@martinalbert29 The message was Kevin Durant is healthy and hasn't missed a step.
@silewis9396 Yeah but that means Booker is getting Tatum's minutes and they are saying Booker is better which he's not
@@tornatic1983 off course Tatum is far better than Booker,it seem Steve Kerr coaching stuff has favoritism,which will go in nor who gonna sitting chewing gum and clapping on Bence that's sucks
@tornatic1983 Booker is a shooting guard that defends relatively well and is more inclined to catch and shoot thus not needing the ball as much to be effective, unlike Tatum
One thing is for sure, Tatum and Haliburton will play next game because Steve Kerr will try to stop the fire he started.
Serbia plays a certain type of game: violent, dirty, and big. Tatum is not that guy for that style. He's long and has a finesse game, and we already have that in a white-hot KD. Tatum will most definitely get run against South Sudan, Canada, and France, so this is a non-issue for me.
That's a load of BS bruh. Tatum is 1st Team All NBA & current Champion. Also this was a blowout in the 2nd half. Also, do you think Tatum or Jaylen Brown will play in the next Olympics? After the constant disrespect? The answer is no.
If Tatum played, they may even have won by more, who knows? Tatum could have had a hot hands that day. The excuse with matchup makes no sense to me. Now a the hate is flowing, he is underrated, soft, not alpha, etc.. It's just embarrassing, Kerr started it and not forseen the problem is just disrespectful.
Tatum can't be played later in the tournament, because he will start choking. Better bench Tatum now, and let the better players get feel for the game.
@@penkima4923Dude, he won the Gold medal 4 years ago as a starter. Your argument is after multiple trips to NBA finals and winning 1 championship as number 1 option, he’s less equipped now to play a single minute? smh
@@billycarson9506 He's the biggest choker in NBA finals history. It was the right move for Kerr to bench him. He doesn't need to become the biggest choker in olympic history.
The problem is that neither Edwards nor tatum asserted their dominance in the build up towards the games. They should have blown LeBron and curry out of their leading roles. Once that didn't happen, it's much easier to bench tatum than any of the veterans.
Tatum disrespect is unreal . More fuel for title 19 . Snubbing Brown too
I don't blame you for thinking that because what Kerr did was indefensible.
You people love the nba individuals more than you love the country winning the game 😂
@@silewis9396 You're late in the game, boy. Winning is NOT a question for the US team.
@juanluna9112 I'm way ahead of you kid. Carry on crying about spilt milk
@@silewis9396 Crying? That's drama. If you know basketball, you know how to analyze it. Yeah, you're way ahead at the back. 😄
Nobody is valuable in that team when Kevin Durant is torturing the opponent. To be a championship coach Steve Kerr made a disrespectful decision not a game decision.
Wilt played 48 minutes every night, even on the road, year in, year out. He couldn't play today?
@zeppelinmexicano Nah he's been dead 25 years
The starting line up has been terrible throughout. You could replace either Holiday or Booker for Tatum in the starting line up instead of running a three guard line up. If Curry could defend you probably would need Holiday or White on the team, but they still hunt Curry when they have these three guard lineups because of size mismatch. Put JT at the three, bring Holiday in when we have trouble with guards.
The only reason the lineup there is any _slight_ problem with this loaded squad is Joel Embiid because he doesn't fit the offense well. Jrue can make an impact in every way needed. This team has some much better quality on the bench than any other team it's ridiculous people are still complaining. It's almost like they never won by more than 25 against a medal contender
Absolutely, Kerr loves small ball and it hurt the United States last year in the World Cup. Tatum is one of the top five players on the U.S. team. For him not to get a minute is ridiculous.
@@jamesdavis8731 Tatum is a choker, and that pushes him outside of top-5 of anything.
@@penkima4923 Where are you from
They won by a lot. The player rotations worked. Feelings, it is always the feelings for American fans. American fans whine a lot.

There is more than one song. Plenty of time to get him in.
You don't make sense, it's very clear you don't know basketball.
@@jeremiahthompson8951 It's not the all-star game. The goal isn't to make sure everyone on the roster gets minutes.
Stars can take lesser roles, and do them well. Tatum can play 1-5, can assist, can score, can defend, can rebound. He can do everything you need to win. So can Lebron and KD and Steph (with some size limitations ofc). Kerr is being exposed for the 1 dimensional coach he is, if he can’t take superstars and make them fit together.
@@BigginsInAmerica The question is, if you're the coach are you going to bench 1 or 2 of your players, and for what reason?
Who cares. He just won a title and they’re going to win a gold medal easily
Thanks for reminding me why you are a genius, Dan Patrick. You are not a drama queen like many of your colleagues, many who I love still. We won. Steve, Ty... why question them when it equals success?
At least we're talking about Tatum. What about Halliburton?
Their worst player. He is unplayable, especially on defense.
Haliburton is the type of player thats just happy to be there
Doesn't matter about either of then in a win
Haliburton don't have resuming like tutum. Plus tatum won gold medal as the second best player avg 15pts 2020 for team usa.
Wasn't Haliburton dealing with an ailment or sickness anyhow?
JT is not a defender ..he has the Lebron ball watching and lazy feet ...that being said, I hope when he gets his chance he blows up and shines
Huh? He's a very good defender.
@robj144 yeah idk what that dude is talking about lol
Every women’s player got points. But you can’t play every player on the mens side.
Dan Patrick you all leave Steve Kerr alone to do his job
Kerr need his azz beat
Steve Kerr is a hugely overrated coach and I am a huge Warrior fan. He only seems to know one style of basketball, and that is small ball. He screwed up the World Cup team last year with bizarre rotations. This U.S. team has so much talent there is no way they should not win the Gold medal.
There is no team in the Olympics that has close to the overall talent. So if the United States team wins, it will not be because of great coaching by Kerr.
The United States was a 43 point favorite against South Sudan and barely won because they simply were not ready to play and Kerr made no adjustments. Kerr is very overrated.
@@jamesdavis8731 Not playing Tatum was a good move by Kerr.
Why no mention of All Star Tyrese Haliburton?!!! He didn’t play either. Head scratcher
Comparing Tatum to Caitlyn Clark is ridiculous
If it were book bam hali dwhite this would never come up. They would still have dominated if he started.
JEEZ!!!! this isnt a bid deal at all. on an all star team, everyone isnt going to play.
I don't agree with kerr about because yes they had to do matchups but at the same time they were winning and he could have put them in Jayson Tatum at the 2-minute Mark or 1 minute Mark at least he gave him a couple of minutes
that's more of a diss
What does that accomplish? He gets in for mop-up time? And he comes in cold, more chance of injury.
Y’all would’ve still complained Tatum only got 2 mins lmao 😂
W take
Screw it. I’m not going to play, might as well enjoy watching the best in the world in Paris from the best seat in the house as I watch my million dollar paychecks roll in every month.
Let's all agree that coach Steve Kerr is an idiot. That is the only answer to the decision not to play Tatum and Haliburton. Kerr is a good coach, no doubt, but stupidity affects all people sometimes.
In a 40 minute-game wherein the dominance of the USA team have been very obvious, as a coach, you didn't have time to give minutes to other players who have not played in the first or second quarter? I mean, there was a period wherein the US led by 20 points. Don't tell me you didn't even think to give crumbs to Tatum and Haliburton just to wet their shirts.
What is Tatum going to do throw a temper tantrum? He was in a no win siutation. If he complains on this team he looks like a brat.
But Kerr should be starting Tatum as he was all NBA Frist team. Durant should be on the bench
This is all about favoritism
Durant came off bench too
N went 8-9 and let the team in scoring. Wake up dude. Tatum is right where he belongs
@@Conada1002 Dude Tatum is First Team NBA last 3 year. Kerr said he wanted to get Durant playing time. Why is that more important?
It was disrespectful.
Game 5, of the finals Tatum had a Triple Double has Durant done anything noteworthy since leaving GS?
@@dazzle1933first off Tatum didn't have a triple double he needed 2 more rebounds, second off all Tatum was stat padding cause Celtics were up by 20 points so there was no pressure for Tatum no more, he had one good game in Finals game 3 I think where he kept Celtics close after there slow start but other than that he fades when game is on the line..... Brown should be on USA team instead of Tatum.
@@dazzle1933 Durant literally the best basketball player in the olympics lol
There's no crying in basketball.
Tatum is in a tough spot on this team. He isnt the best at anything. Just really good at everything. Meanwhile there are better offensive and defensive players on the team at his position. If he plays next olympics he will be one of the stars so its all good
He's a choker. And he's selfish. And he has bad shot selection. He isn't good at everything.
@@penkima4923 clearly not selfish. He deserves props for being willing to ride the bench as a MVP candidate the last 2 years.
@@Iceman_Cool His latest finals run is among the most obvious cases of selfishness.
He has no say in if he's benched or not, and thus doesn't get props either. He was outside of top-5 in the MVP-race this season, so he wasn't a candidate.
I think players should stop playing for this new team USA organization. Since Grant Hill and Steve Kerr took over team USA, it all about politics. If I was a player, I will stay away from this nonsense. Why you wanna be disrespected by these clowns.

@@silewis9396 that's BS. Tatum is better than Booker and he played. I will give respect to Steph, KD, and lebron, but no one else should start over Tatum. Why is Joel embib starting? He has been horrible. It all about politics. Remove Grant Hill and Steve Kerr.
@@mosesn8462 Noone needs to be removed unless the team loses. What a massive overreaction in a 26 point win. The uproar wasn't as bad as this when the team lost to France at the last Olympics.

@@mosesn8462 I've said it before I'll say it again, there isn't a problem until the team loses. Superstar is just a buzz word that doesn't mean shit to real basketball especially when its full of elite players that can help you win. Derrick White is an elite defender and showed why he makes All Defensive teams. He also shoots a better percentage from 3. That's why he's a better role player.
USA 🇺🇸 is going to mess around and not have anyone play for them 😒! The NBA is a joke now
Caitlin Clark more popular than Jayson Tatum. Are we serious
She is kinda. Very odd but I actually think she is.
Oh yeah. Is it fair? Probably not but it's easy to understand. She is a content generator for most talking heads and what she is accomplishing in and bringing to the WNBA is a rarity that's on par with Curry and Tatum, no disrespect, is not in Curry's league. Few are.
She is. But unlike Clark. Tatum is a top 5 NBA players the last 3 years. Sorry to all you detractiors he was voted first team
@@bryanh2898she’s very overrated
Tatum sat because LeBron has to have his burn, he's not better than KD in catch-and-shoot basketball, and Curry has to be featured because it will be his only Olympics. Tatum's not better than Bam or KD on defense, and certainly cannot match up against Jokic-type centers. Edwards and Booker have enough size to play against the wings of Serbia. Meanwhile, Tatum is sitting and relaxing after a grueling 2023-24 season. Of course he should want to play, but why make it about him? As for Kerr, he is coaching to win, not to please the analysts and the fans.
It doesn't make sense at ALL !!
Still stings😊
Dan Patrick tried to mess up the situation by dragging Caitlin Clark in the picture. He's not helping to examine seriously the issue.
Steve Kerr was over his head. You don't bench, except for injury, anybody in the US national Team. No, it's not an issue whether Jason Tatum is a professional or not, the issue is whether Kerr was an idiot or not. Unfortunately, a lot of people are thinking that way about him for benching Tatum (& Halliburton) and not give a sane reason why he did it.
Just take this test in your neighborhood: ask anybody if they're the US coach if he or she will bench a player just because he/she want to bench a player and they will ALL say 'NO'.
If he was over his head they would have lost the game. They won. It's OK.
@@silewis9396 You didn't get it, it's not about the game per se but how coach Kerr benched his two players. Without question, the US will get the gold. That's expected.

A "defensive guard" in basketball just means a less offensively skilled player. Outside of the 5-spot, it's a mostly "positionless" game. Steve Kerr and his assistants clearly have an agenda to create discord amongst the Celtics teammates. This is coming from a lifelong Lakers fan who hates Boston.
😂😂😂
Jrue Holiday is a defensive guard who has offensive skill to run the offense or shoot at a higher clip than most.
He shot 43% from three all season. He also went 3 for 5 from against Serbia
@@silewis9396 Noted. But if he was capable of being the leading scorer and first option on an NBA team, he wouldn't be known as a defensive guard. People cite "defense" as a way of giving credit to less talented players who are still valuable on the court. Remember, the 1992 Dream Team didn't have any so-called "defenders" on the roster.
@jaymixxentertainment Well that last statement is simply not true.. Scottie Pippen was known as a defender. Him and Jordan famously argued about who was going to be on incoming Bull Kukoč. Even then 1992 is irrelevant.. very different times with a different team makeup against different competition.
@@silewis9396 Sounds like the same propaganda I was referring to. Pippen was more than just a great defender. He was the second scoring option on those Bulls teams behind Jordan. Every NBA player is capable of playing good defense. The more skilled players are not usually expected to defend at a high level, because they can do so much more. Also, the '92 Dream Team will always remain relevant because it's the correct template for putting together the best team in the world..
KD LBJ AD BAM
JT sit down 😅
LBJ, KD and Steph shouldn’t even be there honestly. They got medals and titles……why they even playing? What else they need to prove? They all look kinda lame if you ask me.
Good win though. LBJ and KD were fantastic despite Jokić playing almost as well.
Because without those guys they won’t even medal, look at the fiba tournament led by Tatum and Brunson.
@805fillmore Tatum didn't play in last years World Championship finish in 3rd but Haliburton, Edwards and Brunson did.

I think Tatum is over rated. He is the opposite of clutch most times, at least when it matters. I dont watch much bball, but when i do, like the NBA finals, Tatum looks like an average descent NBA player. Even watching him play in the exhibition games for team USA, he wasn't that good.

The NBA should revisit the metrics and ballot validation for ALL NBA team selections. Clearly, Tatum is overrated! He is inefficient offensively, cannot be trusted in high-value situations, needs to be faster on defense, lacks acute IQ, and often commits turnovers during crucial moments. Simply put, he's NOT THAT GUY! You know, the one when you dial up the last play of the game because you are confident he will get you a high-probability basket for a win... that would be Jaylen Brown. Nor is he the guy that would want the ball in high-pressure situations. He hides by the baseline. All of the starters on Team USA are bonafide stars. You want to take the last shot in a pivotal game or have shown the grit and killer tenacity to own the moment and a team all day. Tatum is outclassed by the talent around him.
I agree. Tatum is overrated.but let’s not forget the league is full of overrated hype jobs. Edwards disappeared during the Mavs series..and the most inefficient player in the current era has to be Luka. He takes 30 shots to get 30 points and is a literal cone on defense.
"Tatum is overrated!"
That's your opinion but the opinion of the committee that selected the national team roster is different and more realistic.
I'm a Lakers fan but I don't agree with the benching of Jason Tatum. Whatever your opinion about Tatum, he's in the national team not because he did a Bronny but because he deserved to be there.
