These “media heads” are the same people who were disrespecting Jayson Tatum all last season. The last people who should mention Tatum and respect are them. You can’t even by honest with yourselves on what’s happening unless it fits the narrative you want to create.
Edward’s is behaving like the little young kid he is. And with that thrusting dance he does looks very disrespectful. These Olympiad has had enough bad taste and disrespect with the opening ceremony we don’t need additional.
Edwards is very young, he is harsh and blunt, loudmouthed sometimes, over the top sometimes - bit time will sort this out. It´s alway way easier to teach slowing down (and some manners) then to push someone constantly. The MJ-Hype was ridiculous, of course it was, but in hindsight we have a top twenty player already with huge potential. JT is another story. But why would i even as a celtics fan diminish Edwards, only because i think Kerr is an idiot?
Jayson Tatum just isn't a vocal diva with an ego. He's puts his focus on the floor (like the silent killer Tim Duncan). 2 years ago, he made the NBA Finals but lost, 1 year ago, he lost to a crazy Heat team in the Conference Finals, and this year, was an NBA Champion (and should have been the Finals MVP instead of Jaylen Brown). Besides, this dude is gonna be a billionaire with a $315 million contract extension and a Nike sponsorship, so I doubt he cares much.
That’s the argument I’ve made. Realistically the lineups don’t matter team USA will still win. But Tatum is the least likely big star to be vocal and complain so he got benched
@@Lanetta402 nah dude. He just seems fake. Whatever he does, he copies other people. It's like he isn't his own person. And also texting Kobe (RIP), screenshoting it and posting on Twitter for validation...
If a guy's giving up about 5 weeks of his offseason to play for the Olympic team, he should at least play a little each game. I know it's an honor to be an Olympian, but c'mon, this was ridiculous.
Kerr saying you can play only 10 men in a 40-min game really makes no sense, or that he didn’t like the matchups, really makes no sense, especially when you consider USA had a huge lead. 🤦♂️
Bro everybody wants to play. The best way to do it is to play both the starters and backups about 20 minutes per game. That's 10 guys who are somewhat happy. Playing an 11th guy means you're playing 2 players about 10 minutes per game. You can do that but nobody really wants to play that little. Kerr is right

he doesnt drop 50 cos he aint the type of player to really chase for it. Not saying its a bad thing but he gives an impression that hes less of a competitor idk why that is

Nobody wants to play 7 minutes per game or in garbage time. If Derrick White fits better with the team you play him, you don't hurt the chemistry of the team over Jason Tatum's feelings.

A lot of basketball fans and media were slow as it is but the minute everyone learned the word “aura”, all rational discussions went completely out the window. Imagine not liking a player because he is not obnoxious and is just about his business. Its ridiculous.
Melo got a point though -- the casuals are paying more attention to the charisma, aura, and highlights of these young stars and that's why Anthony Edwards keeps winning all these fan polls for Team USA best player, future face of the NBA, best player next 1-5 years.
I’ll tell you exactly what happened. Kerr heard Tatum criticize the fact that confused males got to compete against women in boxing this year and possibly found a ✝️ on Tatum 😱 Yes, Kerr is that insane.
It's not just Lebron behind this, it's Nike too. All publicity and it's definitely some under the table money flowing through this entire scenario. I can't wait till that chumpo retires.
It has nothing to do with disrespect and everything to do with Steve Kerr not being a good coach especially when it comes to managing different rotations.
Tatum is better than half of the Olympics players..The hate is real..curry is most overrated with no d...This Tatum guy coward said is better than pippen..If USA dont win gold, kerr should resign from the nba.
During the previous Olympics, KD was gassing up Tatum to be the leader of the next team. They didn’t know that the avengers would assemble and Lebron would lead the team with Ant man fighting for the torch despite no nba championship.
Steve Kerr isn't as good as everyone would like to believe. He just wants guards who chuck 3s. He's lucky he has Curry and Klay Thompson when they were in their primes. And for the people saying they won by 30 who cares, that makes it that much worse it makes it seem like Kerr has a grudge against Tatum or something. There's no excuse for this with a player as good as Tatum.
@@logicalchaos9008 i feel the same but people love to say their boring. I love the ball movement, nobody is selfish on that team and thats why i can actually see them winning again unless denver can get their act together.
There’s nothing more disrespectful than being named Finals MVP and not even getting a call to go join the Olympic team and being on the Olympic team and not even getting a chance to play in the real game.
There is no excuse as to why everybody can't play in a 26-point blowout, especially the ONLY First Team All-NBA member and CURRENT NBA Champion on the team. If Kerr can find time to play Jrue Holiday and Derrick White, then he can find time to play Jayson Tatum (and Tyrese Haliburton). Kerr didn't rush to cut minutes for LeBron or Curry, and he immediately inserted KD into the lineup despite missing EVERY exhibition game. I'm not even saying KD shouldn't have played. You can tell there were previous arrangements with this team, and it's all about Steph, KD, and LeBron. They likely promised Embiid the starting role or set minutes too, and he's looked terrible.
For real, I would bench Embiid. Curry, Tatum, Lebronze, KD, and AD. And I was being nice for Curry, since all that length behind him makes up for his lack of defense.
It's for the same (TRUE) reason why Kawhi got booted off the team. He doesn't have great camaraderie with the team/players, due to his awkward/introverted/semi-cringe personality. Although with all that being said, a DNP is definitely taking it too far. If there's one player that should have a DNP, it should be Embiid
The real issue is that Tatum’s minutes should eat into Lebron’s minutes because they would play similar roles on Team USA, IMHO Team USA’s playmakers, like Lebron, have too many turnovers. Team USA would benefit if Tatum can take some minutes from Lebron and Curry
Ironic considering Tatum has the most TOs in a playoff run in nba history. Lebron can be TO prone at times too but he’s still a better playmaker than Tatum
The worst thing to happen to pro basketball was ex-NBA players getting podcasts. Many NBA players are not, let's just say, the sharpest tools in the shed. 🤣
@@Djm.tris07 believe it or not, im not speaking out of emotion, but rather a very educated assumption. If you have been in entertainment, or studied it. Big media companies often use their power to sway media narratives.
I’m still confused how Kerr got the job. He inherited a title ready team. Allowed egos to break up a dynasty. And has been 197-186 the last 5 seasons. Dude is more focused on talking to media than coaching.
He did not shoot well in the ECF or Finals tbh, anybody watching could tell. But to single him out as the one not to play (Hali is still young at least) when you're playing D White, Jrue, and STARTING Embiid...it was just beyond stupid by Kerr
Tatum lead his team in every category throughout the playoffs, including "The Finals", so you should do better research + you're saying you didn't watch the playoffs, without saying it
But Tatum’s efficiency is the ONLY thing he’s bad at! He’s an elite scorer, rebounder, playmaker, and defender. Surely those skills could be used in SOME minutes.
Halliburton hasn’t played in 3 games. He was 3rd team all nba. 9 in mvp voting and an all star. He’s not as good Tatum , but where is the outrage for him?
I don't like Steve Kerr, I don't like how he looks, how he talks + he's a lying clown = first he lies about Draymond assaulting one of his players (he allowed it to happen), then he lies about the ramifications of those actions (his team's sucked ever since) + I've never liked him since the Finals series vs. TOR, where he stayed quiet when one of GSW minority-owners, did something racist, during one of the games to Kyle Lowry (Kerr silent) + he didn't say anything after TOR won the Championship, while one of GSW security did another racist act, towards Masai Ujiri, while he was trying to get onto the court, to celebrate their victory = GSW as a franchise/organization, has been clueless, ever since + SK has lost all respect, leading-up to this recent "BS"
It is ridiculous. Look, this is the OLYMPIC. Besides his NBA credential, Tatum is an Olympic veteran and champion. He should at least be given some minutes as a token of honor in this arena. His current skill set deserves it. His past contribution to the country as well. This contribution is national and patriotic. Imagine insulting a veteran on Memorial Day. This is what Steve Kerr just did. Yes, Steve Kerr is indeed an idiot, just as he claimed.
Not to mention the only US born player on All NBA 1st team. And if he “needs a role” he can find one easily. Guarding the 1-5 the entire playoffs, one of six players to lead their team in points, rebounds, assists to a championship, Top 5 MVP candidate the past 2 seasons, and so on. It’s disrespect
The USA won by 26. There is complaining when they win by an ok amount. There is complaining when they barely win. And now there is complaining about the way they won and the players used in a BLOWOUT. If they lost Sunday, and Tatum didn’t play, then it’s an issue! People are mad usa isn’t blowing teams out , now they blow someone out, and you question the manner they did it
Larry Bird, Kareem,and many other great play weren't super vocal, didn't yell or celebrate like certain players that they say are, or were better than Tatum. Yes, Tatum is better than Booker, Edwards, and, Embiid, and 98% of Team USA.
Tatum: A great team player, able and willing to perform in whatever role his team needs him in. Possibly the most versatile player currently, basically a role-player but for ANY role. And I think that's the problem - he's a jack of all trades, master of none. His stand-out skills are those harder to measure and easier to overlook, primarily on the defensive end. And, for whatever reason, the NBA media (and coaches, like Kerr) are all-offense all day, every day. It's like nobody wants to remember that the greatest dynasty in league history, the Russell Celtics, made their legacy on a solid foundation of outstanding defensive prowess. Nobody except Boston themselves, and they seem to recognize what they have in Tatum.
Although I call Tatum as the "Designated Superstar," this US Olympic run is centered about LeBron and his narrative of greatness. Also, this falls on Kerr -- a glorified coach who benefited from Mark Jackson.
So let's see, that leaves 3 other positions you need to explain - it also doesn't explain why Kerr just can't create 5 man rotations that include everyone. That way everyone plays and you still have flexibility to play those that are doing well.
@@Arctanis-vt3hltatum not playing isn't weird at all White playing more minutes than tatum isn't weird at all If anything it's expected looking at how a lot of the golden state warriors line ups had been this season and historic Kerr use a lot of 3 guards line ups and Tatum isn't really suited to this style of play since he a very quick player reacting to situations and moving the ball like would be expected from a guard
I truly does not understand why do Jason Tatum get so much dislike. The guy is a phenomenal player. Sure he's as LeBron James or Stephen Curry but he's certainly is a impactful player for Boston an his presence is well known.
Don’t get me wrong, Tatum has frustrated me during a lot of playoff games when his shots are not falling and he keeps shooting 3s instead of driving to the basket, but he is a class act on and off the court and is definitely top player based on his skills, speed and basketball IQ.
As a non Boston and team USA fan, this is not relevant to me. Their team won, and they did not unsheathe Tatum. If the man himself didn’t feel disrespected, then it is not relevant to him either 😊. But I liked your defence of him. He deserves to shine on the global stage
@DoggG-z7x And that's not what the Olympics should be about. The media has always been trying to prop Tatum over Brown instead of portraying them as equals and now they're trying to deflect from this blatant snub by once again, making it all about Tatum.
Not a Celtics fan, not a Tatum fan but he seems like a perfectly fine person. He's a great player and now a champ. Not sure why he is "controversial". I've never seen him try to hurt another player or act crazy arrogant on the court. I can see why Joel or Draymond or Luka would get on people's bad side ... but don't see it with Tatum. And yes he should be getting minutes every game. Kerr can be an arrogant jerk at times -- and I actually pulled for the Warriors against the Celtics. Give Tatum some IMPORTANT minutes in the next game.
Tatum is nice, bashing NBA champion is ignorant and stupid, especially knowing he was always there for USA basketball team and being one of the best players on those teams. Much respect for the way he's handling this and being a great teammate. He didn't deserve this. But Dbook and KD didn't miss, so...
And to Carmello and his aura BS. Tatum is already had a greater career than you You never made First team all NBA or one a ring as the lead player on a team
I was almost halfway okay with this when it was possibly Steve just didn't want to interrupt a rhythm that was working. But to hear that he planned on leaving Tatum out is disrespectful. Sit Lebron and Curry out now and tell me "match-ups" and then we'll talk.
54.7TS is mid. Tatum dead ass one of the worst volume scoring finals in the past 10-20 years lmaoooo. Tatum didn't ball out in the finals😂. Tatum vs brown for finals MVP was a mid off. Even though I think he should of won it. He didn't "ball out" are you nuts or bias.
They sound like a single mother whose son not being played. Did the USA win? The coach is the coach and its call. Jason is a professional, that’s the name of game.
I think that JT is too nice and himble for.hisnown good. No other super star champion would allow this to happen to them. They would throw a fit, but JT just quietly takes it on the chin like he always does.
That would make him look terrible. Tatum just showed that he is willing to sacrifice in service of winning during the Celtics' run, so this is no different.

Kerr knew what he was doing with this. He's basically choosing Booker over Tatum lol
A lot of basketball fans and media were slow as it is but the minute everyone learned the word “aura”, all rational discussions went completely out the window.
Imagine not liking a player because he is not obnoxious and is just about his business. Its ridiculous.
😂😂😂
Melo got a point though -- the casuals are paying more attention to the charisma, aura, and highlights of these young stars and that's why Anthony Edwards keeps winning all these fan polls for Team USA best player, future face of the NBA, best player next 1-5 years.
There's no way I'm playing Booker over Tatum.
Getting tired of the word "Aura" lol its so ridiculous 🤣
I’ll tell you exactly what happened.
Kerr heard Tatum criticize the fact that confused males got to compete against women in boxing this year and possibly found a ✝️ on Tatum 😱
Yes, Kerr is that insane.
Are you just talking or did that actually happen?
It's not just Lebron behind this, it's Nike too. All publicity and it's definitely some under the table money flowing through this entire scenario. I can't wait till that chumpo retires.
We need another Tatum video coach did it again 😤💯 this is really disrespectful
Jayson Tatum is who casuals think Anthony Edwards is.
It has nothing to do with disrespect and everything to do with Steve Kerr not being a good coach especially when it comes to managing different rotations.
100%. Kerr has lived long enough to become the villain for me, just like Lebron did.
Dennis Rodman did say Kerr isn’t coaching them
Tatum is better than half of the Olympics players..The hate is real..curry is most overrated with no d...This Tatum guy coward said is better than pippen..If USA dont win gold, kerr should resign from the nba.
Tatum is very good, but he's not better than Pippen..
@@jdmintegradp he's way better than pippen ever was, and i'm no tatum fan.
Thank You you nailed it Uncut Hoops.
During the previous Olympics, KD was gassing up Tatum to be the leader of the next team. They didn’t know that the avengers would assemble and Lebron would lead the team with Ant man fighting for the torch despite no nba championship.
Steve Kerr isn't as good as everyone would like to believe. He just wants guards who chuck 3s. He's lucky he has Curry and Klay Thompson when they were in their primes. And for the people saying they won by 30 who cares, that makes it that much worse it makes it seem like Kerr has a grudge against Tatum or something. There's no excuse for this with a player as good as Tatum.
Tatum not playing made me wonder what kind of political play happened in the background
I'm pretty sure the person who benched Tatum is LeChina, just saying.
Don’t dunk on me agian Isiah Thomas
So, going into 2025 the Celtics top 2 players are going to have legit chips on their shoulders......🤔..... 🏆
Not going lie, i hope they do go back to back
@@bladebrown7342 Me too. Fun team to watch.
@@logicalchaos9008 i feel the same but people love to say their boring. I love the ball movement, nobody is selfish on that team and thats why i can actually see them winning again unless denver can get their act together.
There’s nothing more disrespectful than being named Finals MVP and not even getting a call to go join the Olympic team and being on the Olympic team and not even getting a chance to play in the real game.
There is no excuse as to why everybody can't play in a 26-point blowout, especially the ONLY First Team All-NBA member and CURRENT NBA Champion on the team. If Kerr can find time to play Jrue Holiday and Derrick White, then he can find time to play Jayson Tatum (and Tyrese Haliburton).
Kerr didn't rush to cut minutes for LeBron or Curry, and he immediately inserted KD into the lineup despite missing EVERY exhibition game. I'm not even saying KD shouldn't have played. You can tell there were previous arrangements with this team, and it's all about Steph, KD, and LeBron. They likely promised Embiid the starting role or set minutes too, and he's looked terrible.
For real, I would bench Embiid. Curry, Tatum, Lebronze, KD, and AD. And I was being nice for Curry, since all that length behind him makes up for his lack of defense.
It's for the same (TRUE) reason why Kawhi got booted off the team. He doesn't have great camaraderie with the team/players, due to his awkward/introverted/semi-cringe personality.
Although with all that being said, a DNP is definitely taking it too far. If there's one player that should have a DNP, it should be Embiid
The real issue is that Tatum’s minutes should eat into Lebron’s minutes because they would play similar roles on Team USA, IMHO
Team USA’s playmakers, like Lebron, have too many turnovers. Team USA would benefit if Tatum can take some minutes from Lebron and Curry
Ironic considering Tatum has the most TOs in a playoff run in nba history. Lebron can be TO prone at times too but he’s still a better playmaker than Tatum
@@sosaraycharles358 yea okay buddy
The worst thing to happen to pro basketball was ex-NBA players getting podcasts. Many NBA players are not, let's just say, the sharpest tools in the shed. 🤣
@@howsittastes this guy loves draymond's pod lmao
The league got to stop disrespecting Boston all together the hate has got to stop is getting ridiculous
3 celtics are on the Olympic team....damn thats so disrespectful
Klutch sports tarnishing the mans name because lebron jealous it wasnt him
Tearing down young stars who could potentially surpass LBJ
u lot lost ur minds
@@Djm.tris07 believe it or not, im not speaking out of emotion, but rather a very educated assumption. If you have been in entertainment, or studied it. Big media companies often use their power to sway media narratives.
I’m still confused how Kerr got the job. He inherited a title ready team. Allowed egos to break up a dynasty. And has been 197-186 the last 5 seasons. Dude is more focused on talking to media than coaching.
Kerr is an AMAZING politician, that's how. listen to anything he says, dude is absolutely full of shit
Dont forget about being a good little bootlicker for our gooberment
yea i dont care if we're a worse team with Tatum in the starting 5. He needs to be in the starting 5 just out sheer respect.
Having LeBron represent us to the world is embarrassing I can’t root for this team for that reason. That’s pretty said.
Who cares man keep coping 😂😂
Meanwhile Tyrese Haliburton 👁👄👁
im a big Hali fan but Tatum has been involved in Team USA for like 4 or 5 olympics going back to juniors.
Their DNPs are not equal
He should have played too, but he's not Tatum, a defending champion, or been with Team USA as long as Tatum.
It's dirty how Steve Kerr did him mane 😂
What can Derrick White do that Tatum cant do BETTER??!!?!? The disrespect is definitely Olympic gold medal level...smdh
Maybe better perimeter defense and that's still arguable
*Insert Charlie Murphy talking about Rick James" aura here*
🎶 give it to me baby 🎶
He did not shoot well in the ECF or Finals tbh, anybody watching could tell. But to single him out as the one not to play (Hali is still young at least) when you're playing D White, Jrue, and STARTING Embiid...it was just beyond stupid by Kerr
Tatum lead his team in every category throughout the playoffs, including "The Finals", so you should do better research + you're saying you didn't watch the playoffs, without saying it
Jrue has been a defensive monster. I'm okay with him starting. He's been the best defender on the floor outside of AD
But Tatum’s efficiency is the ONLY thing he’s bad at! He’s an elite scorer, rebounder, playmaker, and defender. Surely those skills could be used in SOME minutes.
Stop pretending you don't know why emiid is starting
@@LASAGNA_LARRY how did he lead his team in every category, throughout the playoffs, but he’s inefficient?? You guys need to get a clue
No One Pointed Out Derrick White… Yes Derrick White Got Minutes Over JAYSON TATUM
Halliburton hasn’t played in 3 games. He was 3rd team all nba. 9 in mvp voting and an all star.
He’s not as good Tatum , but where is the outrage for him?
he isn't the reigning champion.
LeFraud told Kerr to DNP Tatum bcoz of the poster dunk Tatum did against LeBrick way back in the ECF. He remembers, he took it personal..
I don't like Steve Kerr, I don't like how he looks, how he talks + he's a lying clown = first he lies about Draymond assaulting one of his players (he allowed it to happen), then he lies about the ramifications of those actions (his team's sucked ever since) + I've never liked him since the Finals series vs. TOR, where he stayed quiet when one of GSW minority-owners, did something racist, during one of the games to Kyle Lowry (Kerr silent) + he didn't say anything after TOR won the Championship, while one of GSW security did another racist act, towards Masai Ujiri, while he was trying to get onto the court, to celebrate their victory = GSW as a franchise/organization, has been clueless, ever since + SK has lost all respect, leading-up to this recent "BS"
i think its safe to say this man doesnt like steve kerr
😂 nows a perfect time to make a diss track
He told Pachulia to injure Kawhi and encourages Draymond to act as a clown and injure the opponent's best player.
@@firas.alhamdani I forgot about that one 💯🎯
@@Zurai-Lion 😆😅🤣😂😭
Starting the self proclaimed goat is even more disrespectful
It is ridiculous. Look, this is the OLYMPIC. Besides his NBA credential, Tatum is an Olympic veteran and champion. He should at least be given some minutes as a token of honor in this arena. His current skill set deserves it. His past contribution to the country as well. This contribution is national and patriotic. Imagine insulting a veteran on Memorial Day. This is what Steve Kerr just did. Yes, Steve Kerr is indeed an idiot, just as he claimed.
Not to mention the only US born player on All NBA 1st team. And if he “needs a role” he can find one easily. Guarding the 1-5 the entire playoffs, one of six players to lead their team in points, rebounds, assists to a championship, Top 5 MVP candidate the past 2 seasons, and so on. It’s disrespect
The anti Tatum fans are Lebron glazers from UnKlutch Sports.
The USA won by 26.
There is complaining when they win by an ok amount.
There is complaining when they barely win.
And now there is complaining about the way they won and the players used in a BLOWOUT.
If they lost Sunday, and Tatum didn’t play, then it’s an issue!
People are mad usa isn’t blowing teams out , now they blow someone out, and you question the manner they did it
Larry Bird, Kareem,and many other great play weren't super vocal, didn't yell or celebrate like certain players that they say are, or were better than Tatum. Yes, Tatum is better than Booker, Edwards, and, Embiid, and 98% of Team USA.
I’d say the best player on the team, not in terms of All Time but currently. Only US born player on All NBA 1st Team
Did he not win a title while being younger than LeMon James?
Tatum: A great team player, able and willing to perform in whatever role his team needs him in. Possibly the most versatile player currently, basically a role-player but for ANY role. And I think that's the problem - he's a jack of all trades, master of none. His stand-out skills are those harder to measure and easier to overlook, primarily on the defensive end. And, for whatever reason, the NBA media (and coaches, like Kerr) are all-offense all day, every day.
It's like nobody wants to remember that the greatest dynasty in league history, the Russell Celtics, made their legacy on a solid foundation of outstanding defensive prowess. Nobody except Boston themselves, and they seem to recognize what they have in Tatum.
Thank you for bringing up that aura bs nobody is saying that about anyone else jokic or Luka has no “aura” i want dubs as a fan
Although I call Tatum as the "Designated Superstar," this US Olympic run is centered about LeBron and his narrative of greatness. Also, this falls on Kerr -- a glorified coach who benefited from Mark Jackson.
PREACH!
Like embid said they still catering to lebron and steph
Yeah, but it's rich coming from Embiid.
@@shorewall that was his point it's hard for him to play ball in the lesystem
He's not starting over LeBron and wasn't going in when KD wasn't missing a shot. It's not that hard to comprehend.
Yes maybe Lebron shouldn’t have played 27 minutes all them minutes he played in the 4th when the team was up by 15
So let's see, that leaves 3 other positions you need to explain - it also doesn't explain why Kerr just can't create 5 man rotations that include everyone. That way everyone plays and you still have flexibility to play those that are doing well.
Why wouldn't he start over lebron when is literally better
@@fullmetal1766
you know why.
@@Arctanis-vt3hltatum not playing isn't weird at all
White playing more minutes than tatum isn't weird at all
If anything it's expected looking at how a lot of the golden state warriors line ups had been this season and historic
Kerr use a lot of 3 guards line ups and Tatum isn't really suited to this style of play since he a very quick player reacting to situations and moving the ball like would be expected from a guard
I truly does not understand why do Jason Tatum get so much dislike. The guy is a phenomenal player. Sure he's as LeBron James or Stephen Curry but he's certainly is a impactful player for Boston an his presence is well known.
They won without him, don’t see why they care if he plays or not
Keep that same energy going forward then don’t change at all
i cant believe I watched this but feel you brodie. i'm neutral on dude but hes a beast.
Don’t get me wrong, Tatum has frustrated me during a lot of playoff games when his shots are not falling and he keeps shooting 3s instead of driving to the basket, but he is a class act on and off the court and is definitely top player based on his skills, speed and basketball IQ.
Phenomenal video!
As a non Boston and team USA fan, this is not relevant to me. Their team won, and they did not unsheathe Tatum. If the man himself didn’t feel disrespected, then it is not relevant to him either 😊. But I liked your defence of him. He deserves to shine on the global stage
Not to mention that he already brought the US a Gold Medal averaging 15 PPG when Coach Pop was leading the team
Never mind Tatum, why isn't Conference and Finals MVP Jaylen Brown on the team?
Political issues
@DoggG-z7x And that's not what the Olympics should be about.
The media has always been trying to prop Tatum over Brown instead of portraying them as equals and now they're trying to deflect from this blatant snub by once again, making it all about Tatum.
Steve Kerr is a guy who endorsed Harris. A guy Michael Jordan smacked like a b____.
Preach
Tatum's the 2nd best player on his own team. I don't get the lovefest with the guy.
i do not understand why they are starting 3 guards and putting in booker over tatum
Not a Celtics fan, not a Tatum fan but he seems like a perfectly fine person. He's a great player and now a champ. Not sure why he is "controversial". I've never seen him try to hurt another player or act crazy arrogant on the court. I can see why Joel or Draymond or Luka would get on people's bad side ... but don't see it with Tatum. And yes he should be getting minutes every game.
Kerr can be an arrogant jerk at times -- and I actually pulled for the Warriors against the Celtics. Give Tatum some IMPORTANT minutes in the next game.
JT DISRESPECT IS OUT OF CONTROL ☘️🏆☘️
I honestly think Steve Kerr doesn't like him
Ever since Kobe retired in 2016, nobody has had the aura that he had.
Tatum is nice, bashing NBA champion is ignorant and stupid, especially knowing he was always there for USA basketball team and being one of the best players on those teams. Much respect for the way he's handling this and being a great teammate. He didn't deserve this. But Dbook and KD didn't miss, so...
I still can’t believe Tatum isn’t starting
And to Carmello and his aura BS.
Tatum is already had a greater career than you
You never made First team all NBA or one a ring as the lead player on a team
FACTS!
Tatum is going to disrespect the league! This was needed! He so nice and the disrespect is going to create a monster! Screenshot this! I will!
PREACH BROTHER!
LeBron doesn't want him in his documentary
the championship just started, maybe he will play entire game next game
There's no way a recent/same year NBA Champion should not play in the Olympics. And ppl making excuses for him not playing is even worse. Crazy!
Not to mention being the only US born player on the All NBA 1st team, while also making it the past 3 seasons
Id take Tatum over Inpede. All day every day.
Aura < Ring
I was almost halfway okay with this when it was possibly Steve just didn't want to interrupt a rhythm that was working. But to hear that he planned on leaving Tatum out is disrespectful. Sit Lebron and Curry out now and tell me "match-ups" and then we'll talk.
54.7TS is mid. Tatum dead ass one of the worst volume scoring finals in the past 10-20 years lmaoooo. Tatum didn't ball out in the finals😂. Tatum vs brown for finals MVP was a mid off. Even though I think he should of won it. He didn't "ball out" are you nuts or bias.
They sound like a single mother whose son not being played. Did the USA win? The coach is the coach and its call. Jason is a professional, that’s the name of game.
I think that JT is too nice and himble for.hisnown good. No other super star champion would allow this to happen to them. They would throw a fit, but JT just quietly takes it on the chin like he always does.
That would make him look terrible. Tatum just showed that he is willing to sacrifice in service of winning during the Celtics' run, so this is no different.
Would you rather he whine and throw a fit? He's just being professional.
@@DoggG-z7x I don't prefer anything. That's his life and career. I just know that nice guys finish last
@@urbaindelva7869 Maybe. But he's going to remain on the bench.
