    Windy is a JT hater and GSW superfan at the same time?

    i dont know why windy is so sensitive to this subject, two things can be true Jason Tatum can be well compensated in the league and he also can be disrespected bythe constant coverage of over hyped players who havent won anything. Antman is fun to watch but hasnt won anything, Ja Morant fun but hasnt won anything, i can go on and on.

    Why are they acting like Tatum doesn’t get disrespected they have people on espn arguing if Tatum is even top 10

    Tatum is a good player, he can score anytime he wants, However he is not that exciting player to watch and he’s not that a show time and entertaining player. That’s it!

    Windy you’re talking about the team!!!!! We’re talking about the individual!!! People are not giving him the correct amount of credit is all people are saying.

    “Certainly not me,” the f*ck do SAS mean? He’s the one that keeps anointing Ant K-Mart Michael Jordan as the next face of the league instead of Tatum, old media destroying the media cause they refuse to let that era go

    He is for sure an amazing superstar

    Y’all disrespect him and the Celtics constantly. The narrative was they had the easiest road to the finals ever. Just because he was awarded through it doesn’t mean you people weren’t talking down about him and the Celtics the whole way

    Tatum has the personality of a card board box. He’s not interesting. Yal gotta remember end of the day it is sports entertainment. He’s not entertaining. Everybody knows he’s a great hooper. Hes a winner. He’s who the media hypes Ant, SGA to be. But because they’re entertaining, they push for them to be the “guys”.

  11. @Quan2fast

    April 17, 2025 at 10:09 pm

    Nfs the way yall talk about Luka Antman SGA It Should be The Same Way About Tatum💯

    He’s quiet and a nice guy….

  13. @myronb2534

    April 17, 2025 at 10:28 pm

    He aint Lebron nor Curry nor Jokic, or Donic or Durant or Greek Freak , Edwards, or even Embid, Dame, Irving, or Wemby, but somehow only because he got a title it means he’s in the same class as these without a doubt players we dont question like he gets categorize into even a healthy Kawhi would be taken over him, people front like they can’t see he aint like those players mentioned if we stack them all against Tatum at 100 percent for all player mentioned.

    Please cut out the fingers, JT has received a lack of appreciation and he is THAT GUY. He is supported and loved by many, glad the media is starting to catch on. Well deserved Face of the league!

    I think had Tatum performed a bit better in last years finals, or playoffs in general, he wouldn’t be getting questioned/disrespected still. His finals performance definitely wasn’t as bad as some people made it out to be, but it wasn’t as good as people made it out to be either. It was a solid C finals performance.

    He is. good player. But not good enough to play on the most crucial olympic game.

    How many times they going to push this narrative and turn it into a clip lol😂

    You know this generation is doomed when wife beaters, floppers, gun-waving hooligans and head case divas all have more “aura” than a quiet, team-oriented family man who wins games.

    Tatum is soft and sweet foh

    Win an MVP then Tatum

    this was a masterclass in gaslighting

  23. @tamaralowe8726

    April 17, 2025 at 11:22 pm

    JT is on such a great team, that is why he isnt acknowledged enough for what he does. Plus, they didnt win the Championship until they got even more stacked as a team.

  24. @mxwng7251

    April 17, 2025 at 11:27 pm

    Respect and Appreciation aren’t the words that fit… it’s Celebration that should be used. Tatum and the Celtics aren’t celebrated enough. It’s just like, “yeah, he’s great, they win, now lets talk about Bronny James..”

    You can’t say Jayson Tatum without Jaylen brown and vice versa Jayson Tatum in a blessed position
