    Tatum is good but hes not a superstar, hes not great. Just stop with this Stephen A. Gurantee if tatum played against Serbia, they would have lost period.

    If they treated the Knicks this way I can only imagine was coming to the Warriors when they face the Celtics this season. Cannot wait 🍿

    Steve Kerr should not be the USA head coach in 2028 and moving forward.

    Tatum doesn’t play any defense. Holiday and White got minutes because they played defense. The exact reason why Haliburton didn’t get any minutes as well. FIBA really exposes the deficiencies in the development of American basketball players

    Tatum didn’t even played too well in the Olympics. Yes I understand he didn’t exactly get all the opportunity to play. But Tatum is a dude who’s good a lot of things but not the best at. At least not in terms of the Olympics team. James was their ball handler and passer, KD is a better scorer. Steph gravity on the court with or without the ball but he can always turn it up at any given point and is the best shooter for crying out loud hence the reason why they won the semi and finals. Book was the best surprise of all who was willing to put his head down and play whatever the role he needed to play. Ant as their 6th man with the duo of defense of AD and Bam who held their lead together. Ultimately everything that Tatum can do as a person his Olympic teams can do better individually and that’s what won them the gold. You’re right they could’ve let him played more in some cases but to be honest his skill set wasn’t needed. YOU NEED TO SACRIFICE IN THE OLYMPICS ANY ALL STAR IS JUST ANOTHER ROLE PLAYER TOO ON TEAM USA TOO! But I understand where the fuel to the fire type of mentality is coming from. And I hope JT and JB can play like they did the first game of this season.

    Knowing that Tatum was the only first team all NBA player on the team USA roster, ranking him 11th is egregious!!!

      Yes he definitely did that multiple times, your comment is misleading at all.

      Oh wait. He did it once. Just like millions literlaly millions of other basketball players have done from the corner before. Lol.

    Spoelstra and kerr both connived to ambush tatum’s minutes and playing time in the olympics. Celtics team CAN’T wait to do the pedal to the metal type of blitz to those two teams.

    What Kerr and the NBA voters are saying by dissing them is, “Jayson and Jaylen are weak, and they’re not going to do a dam3 thing about it”. And I agree. But if J&J actually do play with a chip on their shoulders, and get their getback like mean dogs, I will be their number one fan.

  20. @arbitScaleModels

    October 24, 2024 at 5:56 pm

    Man y’all don’t understand, Kerr is playing mind games with his number one competitor for the next dynasty out of the East.

    October 24, 2024 at 6:20 pm

    I mean, if it was MJ coaching the team and did the same thing, would you/yall complain about it?????

    Like hey, we won, that’s all that matters. I’m not saying that if he did play, we would’ve lost, but I’m saying, yo, SK saw the vision, saw the future and said look, just sit and watch!

    Y’all gotta stop picking and choosing who’s who, you feel me!!?!??!???

But i get all the fanboys in here with their ‘as a crapbag fan…’ nonsense. just pls stop guessing at things you will never know aight
