Jaylen Brown won finals mvp for the same reason he was kept off team USA. Tatum was benched for the same reason he wasnt awarded Finals MVP
You named players who were balling. But forgot to mention Tatum wasn't making a shot🤷🏻 had he been balling, no question he would have had more minutes
He got benched on the first game 😒😒😒
Get over it already
Stop being in your feelings so deep. He tried to give team USA the best chance of winning.
Stop it
Then why did LeBron play so many minutes especially in the close matches where his defensive efforts were all highlight and no substance?
No he didn't because Tatum is better than everyone on team USA except for Steph, maybe KD, and maybe LeBron/Embiid. He is better than everyone else
Hush
Cut it out..
You would think Tatum was 96 Jordan , 2013 Lebron , or 2016 Curry the way they are talking about him getting benched in the Olympics
Don’t fix your mouth to compare any of those guys to MJ. They are both team stacking frauds that could never even hold MJ’S jock. Tatum and Brown got dat “MAMBA” now. The NBA is in trouble. I’m actually an SGA fan and this assertion is bad news for me. But I must admit.. the overwhelming disrespect that Tatum and Brown have been receiving recently is astounding and absolutely appalling. They are not my favorite players but those guys are supremely talented and very deserving of being champions.
@@adrielthenatural JB will do his thin fs I thought he got snubbed of Team USA . Tatum is in the middle of a horrible shooting slump dating back to last years playoffs. That being said Boston should be the favorites to repeat since they resigned everyone as it pertains to Tatum if his jumper comes back and he’s more consistent and has a dominant run to win another championship then he’s trending into those all time great convos but at the same time the Celtics don’t necessarily need him to play at a all time level with the way they are constructed
You tripping on this take Stepehen A.
Jordan was right to take a swing at Kerr back in the day
Kerr knows Tatum was mentally soft when the warriors last won a title.
Simple attempt to sabotage the Celtics
Exactly. They literally won gold medals.
@@LikeLikeLikeLikeLi Which is exactly what would have happened if James and Curry played one minute less each match and Tatum played 2 minutes more each match
Kerr acted as the Warriors' head coach not the USA coach
@@BenWick-oc8pv you’re missing the point.
@@BenWick-oc8pvtheres no excuse for not playing jt…
If winning is all that matters than Kerr made good decisions.
Steve doesn’t like him it’s simple.
Man bricked everything. That’s why he got benched.
Stephen you riding Jayson Tatum hard mane! He didn’t play good! Thats all mane. He not playing over Ant Mane and DBook, let alone Lebron, KD, or AD
Tatum should have been a starter or a six or 7th man to Booker and Edwards. Unexcusable. Steve Kerr won't be there bcuz the players obviously hate how he coached them, I second. Get Ty Lou
Steven A slurping to the Celtics fans just as the Nba season is gonna start
Man this is why people hate the media Stephen A been talking about this shit every week like they ain't win the gold medal.
The reason is simple. KD and Bron are better, there was no margin for error, and he wasn’t playing well.
Ya he did tatum dirty for sure
WEEE DID IIIIIIITTTTT!!!! OH MY GOD! WE DID IT!!
How many times Stephen A will mention this take?! Tatum will be alright! Damn!
Still talking about this BS they won gold move on
I DON'T LIKE steve kerr
If you’re not contributing on the floor you don’t see the floor. What’s so hard about that concept to grasp Steven A? After your knee surgery and you looking peg legged on the court, surely you’ve learned that life lesson!
This is such an over exaggerated hot take. Get over it what done was done we won the gold time to move on ffs.
Wtf is up with this one? They won gold medals
And USA won gold by the way
I agree with Stephen A about playing Jason Tatum.
He didn't play well.
Who cares 😂
no aura tatum
Stephen A I love Tatum and JB. But honestly I'm so happy they won title. That being said, Tatum was struggling with his shot and really lost his confidence in it. Had no problem with what ker did. Tatum was looking to take it to the bakery and no threat of midrange or 3 ball because his confidence in his shot was gone.
My brother, I could not agree with you more!!! THAT SHIT WAS PERSONAL
Tatum plays weird when the lights are on him
Boo hoo, he didn't play because he's like the 7th best forward on that USA team, get over it
Play Tatum and sit whom? They won the gold medal for F sake
Both Tatum and SAS can kick rocks on this
Oh... and neither of them has resume remotely close to Coach Kerr
Da fak....
U can't please everyone in the Olympics team
Bro. If Stephen A and a few other pundits DON’T make it a big deal. It wouldn’t even be news ESPECIALLY since they WON! My goodness let it go!!
The Olympics actually hurt Tatum’s status in the league. In some ways, it wiped out the championship boost.
Jaylen Brown the man now😎
Grant hill and steve kerr should not be in the Olympics again. Grant hill should not select a player and so is steve kerr coaching the team.
I am beyond exhausted with this topic , GET THE F**K OVER IT!!! he won a damn Gold Medal, nba finals .. he's not a top 5 player in the NBA. .. #softassMedia ...
Steve kerr know he was wrong
Tatum admitted he had a sigh of relief after nuggets lost to twolves.
Jamal Murray was 2-0 against them in the reg season as well. Nuggets would have won the championship if Murray didn't hurt himself against Lakers.
Come on SA, USA won the gold. What more do you want. It's not like Tatum never played a single minute. We all know bow good of a player is but you can only play so many guys at a time. If Tatum played loads of minutes and somehow USA didn't win the gold, people might have been talking about him negatively.
They won !! Why are you tripping drop it
Stephen, Coach team USA and See if you bring home a Gold Medal. Since You Know Better.
Tatum is on the best team...nobody is stupid enough to believe he should be starting on team USA...there are just better options
Steve Kerr, a top 6 coach of all time? Absolutely not. You can’t win an argument after throwing something like that out there.
They needed damn near a miracle to beat Serbia and barely won the gold medal game. If they had JT on the floor throwing up bricks they would NOT have even gotten out of the semi final let alone a gold.
Kerr doin that just opened the flood gates for all you haters.. don’t be mad when we go back to back 🏆🏆
Jason should have told him: if you're not able to find minutes, then I don't think I'll be able to find a reason to stay. And if he doesn't play you, you just go on vacation 🤷♂️
Team USA won move on Stephen A ! Steve Kerr did a great job he got the job done as a coach, that’s all matters Tatum was struggling, he’s young next Olympics he’ll be there if healthy. Basketball ain’t an individual sport it’s a team sport.
Dude, they won the gold. What more do you want?
Kerr has beef with Tatum. So what?
Warrior fans know Kerr will have wacky rotations. He's married to small ball. He benched Ingram the same way, and loves moving Wiggins to pf. It doesn't always make sense but sometimes it works.
I don't have a problem with Kerr's decision. Tatum has a tendency to turn the ball over at the wrong time and then he becomes a head case.
Yep 100pct bullcrap
Didn't USA win gold.? ??? 🥇🤔
Um they won the gold right?
As a nba fan, I personally don’t care about this take or JT situation even JB not being in the Olympics, it’s done, now let focus on the upcoming NBA season and the potential last show of inside the nba
The media made sure to stir the pot back up on this one. lol
Let me ask you this, if MJ was the head coach of the USA national Olympics team and he did the same exact thing to JT, would it bother you?
I’m just asking, because it seems like we aka YOU complain about the wrong things!.
Not saying that what the coach did is right but damn, it’s in the past, it’s over with
Facts
PREACH!!!
Get over it. Tatum is overrated!!!!
You play fantasy ball?
@@Scar.Borough😂😂😂 You’re definitely tripping! Stats don’t lie! Stop hating, it’s ugly.
@@jeanloverme6466 i'm confused.. i am in tatums defense.. i asked this guy becayse maybe he doesnt know tatum stats
@@jeanloverme6466 i think u meant to respond to the other guys who made the comment. Tatum was 1st team all nba..period
@@Scar.Borough OMG, I’m sorry I thought I was replying to the guy you actually replied too. And thank you for replying nicely, I truly appreciate you!
🍀🍀🍀💯💯💯👍🏿🤔
IT IS INEXCUSABLE THAT A BLACK SPORTS JOURNALIST WHO WENT TO A HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGE, TO HAVE NEVER PUBLICALLY CALLED OUT THE NBA FOR ITS FAILURE TO HONOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH ON NBA UNIFORMS. AFTER IT HAS HONORED
1.ST PATRICKS DAY 2.CHINESE NEW YEAR 3.HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH
ON NBA UNIFORMS
It did have BLM on the court and social justice statements instead of names. During the playoffs. Does that not count? There are many other examples, but that one is a big one.
Steve Kerr was being petty cuz he won the chip and said alright bet “Watch this” (in my Usher voice) 😆
You make no sense so Kerr being petty towards Tatum for winning but playing Tatums teammates more minutes at the same time 😂.. So you must think Kerr has a personal beef with Tatum only or what?
I think he does have a personal beef with him there is no way you couldn’t have given him minutes. I haven’t heard a good reason yet.
JT got screwed. Steve Kerr did this young man wrong. You fid minutes for JT was a joke.
He unnecessary did him evil and Brown was amazingly disrespected!winning the gold doesn't excuse the mean spirit from Kerr and Grant!
Ahh shut up! They won! If I am an owner, I sure in the hell don’t want NO black coach. History don’t lie!
USA won without Tatum, I think it was the best decision
Lol USA won because of Curry period
It's your people's fault because your damn glorification of LeDiddy Blames and his bum-self. Tatum should have been playing waaaaayyyy more then that fool. Thx LESPN
But nah foreal though I’ve lost almost all respect for Steve Kerr cuz no other coach would even think about doing what he did.
Exactly why it gained him more respect. He’s won more than Tatum and has been coaching longer than Tatum has played and played longer so he knows what he’s doing. He was not playing up to par so he pulled him. It made sense. Don’t matter who it is we want to win 🤷🏾♂️
@@Moe125 based off of what his shooting percentages? You have more than enough shooters on the team. So what other excuse is there?
@@curtisphillips2221 that’s exactly it. He was shooting good and sometimes not trying to shoot at all looking to dribble thru defenders to get to the basket or just passing it up.
@@Moe125 You mean to tell me with all those shooters on the team he was worried about his shooting nah man this was psychological warfare he wanted to keep that narrative going of JB is better than him for the upcoming season. No other NBA champion that has won it the same year as the Olympics has ever been disrespected like this.
I agree that he should've played in those games. It's just overblown now and this what what could've easily been avoided with him playing for about 5 minutes in games they still would've won
