I cannot stand Rob’s take here. Jayson played terrible, and numerous games were close. He honestly should have played less. He literally played bad when he played, why should he have played more?
Hard to catch a rhythm when you’re riding the bench. Kerr could’ve easily benched Bron in the 4th quarter of those 1st 4 blowout wins & gave some of those mins to JT. 8:29🎯
@christianpaul-cp6746 Then don't expect minutes or sympathy if you can't get into a rhythm. The goal was to win Gold, not to take about feelings of a player. Ant Man played very well coming off the bench.
You guys are so close to saying what's really going on. Nike along with Clutch sports design this team through the NBA. Jason was in the way from the start. Everyone played to win the gold medal, while LeBron played to win the MVP. This was decided before the team played there first game.
Kerr let Tatum play 23 minutes against Puerto Rico and 20 minutes against Brazil. Nobody got more minutes in these two games combined! Tatum severely underperformed both times 4-9 FG 0-2 3PT & 1-5 FG 0-0 3PT. After this he couldn't play him in the important last two games. Tatum was an absolute liability for Team USA.
Tatum does not have an alpha attitude. He’s got all the talent but in a team of alphas and a couple of role players he got lost and that was on him. Edward’s didn’t play all that great but he showed he wanted it and his body language was that of an alpha. Tatum needs to get serious about demanding respect on the court.
@@Reloading20 I wouldn’t say you aren’t alpha if you lose cause tons of guys have been alpha’s and lost. Kobe lost, Iverson lost, Lebron has lost, Wade has lost, just to name a few. And wasn’t Jaylen Brown the finals mvp and wasn’t there an argument over Brown being the better player?
How are we going to not address the reason why Tatum wasn't allowed to play.. its not because of his game didn't translate to this team. It's because they had to make sure Lebron got all of the love. Lebron and KD took all of Tatums minutes... Tatum was on his way to winning 3 gold medals. I dont care for Tatum as a player. But he's been a first team all-nba 3 straight seasons.
This is an idiotic conversation. Kerr had 3 jobs 1. Win to gold. 2. Do not get beaten and 3. Entertain to public. Kerr did his job. They crying about players ego in a team sport?? Rob's anti Golden state bias consumes him lol
@@ettalks7606 If he played Tatum instead of Curry for example and they lost to Serbia, Kerr would've been the one getting killed for it. He won with his decisions, that's what matters.
Y'all make no sense. So everybody & their mama played the entire game in that starting lineup 😂. Nobody said for him to play in the starting lineup but not to play in 2 games and not get minutes. Stop it man. So he couldn't sub for any of those motherfuckers that is not name Bron, KD
Man Robb shouldn’t bring up Tatum being the only one that was all NBA first team. He’s proving that doesn’t mean ish when you playing w the very best of the league instead of the best from the Celtics.
It took the efforts of the greatest shooter of all time, greatest plug and play offensive player and the greatest point forward of all time to get the gold medal. There was no room to ride out a shooting slump from one player when you have LBJ, Curry and KD there. Kerr went for the win. The end.😅
Tatum did not get a chance to warm up, sync with the team. Steph curry played every game until he finally found his 10:18 stride. All PR is about Lebron praising Curry.
Why is the media still talking about this. Every Olympics, they talk about how there's always 1-2 guys who end up not playing despite their NBA status. This isn't a big deal. Unless you believe was better for the team than Lebron or KD, let it go
Don't bring logic here bro, just say its a disgrace even through there's 3 players that play his exact same position was playing much better than him. KD came in off injury and right away had better numbers.
There are so many better topics. Eg how come this fully loaded team was not able to destroy the opposition But we keep dragging the 0-16 Jayson Tatum. Tatum is an amazing player but he wasn’t performing, games were very close and Kerr is playing a short bench like the nba playoffs. Let’s move on
This is a bad take, I’m a fan of Kerr but understand there was a struggle in this job, but it doesn’t matter who u put as coach, it is hard decision to please all players, all are all star players. Somebody was gonna be left out.
@@rockjm9876543210 He is a better defender, his job was to take Kawhi's role, it's not a lifetime achievement. White was playing better defense, you do understand it's TEAM basketball right? I guess you want Jordan out there at 50 because he is the best player? Thats how things work right?
Not a Boston fan but Tatum is going to destroy golden state next year and I doubt he ever plays for the Olympics again I understand letting the older players play because this will be their last one but you can't upset the people who will be playing for you in years to come....if the USA has a sub per team in 2028 and don't win the gold it'll be because the stars didn't trust the process and some will refuse to play because they will say if I'm not going to get playing time why waste my time.... Call Steph and LeBron and KD oh yeah they're now retired smh
People don’t understand one of the main reasons was probably was the concern with consistency. Yeah, he’s a great player, but you can’t be inconsistent in the Olympics.
There's absolutely no reason Kerr didn't find 15 minutes per game to play Tatum. Heck, he could've started him and let him play 5 x4 qtrs and let the dogs/wolves finish the game if it was a defensive concern with him on the court. But to not play him in 2 games is ridiculous and embarrassing.
Curry played so bad except the last two games and yet Kerr gave him a lot of minutes until Steph found his rhytmn. How can JT find his rhytmn in the game if he barely gets a minutes. White and Holiday played more minutes than him and they are only a role players in their team. It's a slapped on the face for JT, Shaq threw his gold medal out of car window because David Robinson gets more minutes than him during the gold medal game.
Tatum was terrible against Serbia in Abu Dhabi. Terrible. These guys just lazy and not watching the games. No way I'm trusting these guys over Kerr, Spo, Lue, Few, to lead any hoops team much less the most high profile US stars on a world stage. Lazy, uninformed takes.
Steph was playing like ass too before those last two games so why didn't he get sent to the bench? Your argument is flawed buddy. Kerr was being over analytical and playing favoritsm. Limited minutes is one thing, but multiple dnp's is just crazy.
@@rockjm9876543210 Steph was shooting like "ass" but he wasn't playing like "ass". His gravity created shots for others and he knew the system.

I see your point about Steph's subpar performance in pool play, but are you also suggesting he should've been benched (like Tatum)?

Why this entitlement?.... You want to win or assuage egos??? Those who fit the team with a role and play well during the course of the Olympic run should play. Tatum was rusty and stinking up the joint in a terrible slump.
Steve Kerr sat Jayson Tatum in the first game which was a blowout. Steve said himself the he was an idiot for not playing him. I think the starting line up was the problem. Steve should have started Kevin Durant in every game and the bring Tatum off the bench. It appears Steve had it set who was going to play. Also they were dead set on playing Derrick White to justify choosing him over Jalen Brown. Jayson Tatum will never forget his experience and may not play in Olympics in future.
LeBron play 30 minutes again. LeBron is at the front of each and every problem, but no one wants to call him out. There’s no reason LeBron should’ve been playing all these games in the Olympic Games.
Finally someone said it. Why are we matching up with them we should be the match up problem. Someone else mentioned that we try to play like them and let them dictate the play style. We are still the most athletic the most skilled and talented. Too much to unpack.
If these guys were the coaches of the Olympic team, we would’ve maybe not even gotten bronze, but certainly we’re out of one gold medal. And the other Celtics got playing time because they played their roles, Jayson Tatum did not play well in his role. He played fine in the NBA finals and won a championship, played terrible in the Olympics and won a gold medal, and people are complaining.
What we learned about Tatum is he’s not an efficient player. When you get your chance to play you have to be ready to shoot and score. He would come in the game and be very indecisive in his game. He didn’t play well in the preliminary games either. He gets the ball and hesitates on open jumpers, even going off the dribble was indecisive. He couldn’t make no jumpers in medal rounds, they were all layups or open dunks. Only thing you could say is Kerr should’ve put Tatum in lineup before White since the beginning and maybe he would’ve been in rhythm.
I hate to say it, but this got klutch & Adam Silver written all over it. Maybe even Nike. Tatum would’ve took some shine from Bron(Especially Tatum & Brown). That would’ve messed up the whole narrative
Brown was not selected for this team I’m sure for a myriad of ridiculous reasons but he also wasn’t picked because he will shake up the apple cart. Tatum is perceived to be easy going ‘like-able’ non-combative so he’s perceived more likely to go along to get along with the program…we see now sometimes not being selected for the national was a the blessing.
Imagine asking who is worse, the coach that won the gold or the player that didnt play remotely close to the expectation in the limited time on court? Laughable
It doesn’t matter what Tatum shoots as a coach you gotta figure it out Steph curry wasn’t playing to well but eventually played into a rhythm and played great the last 2 games
The times we are in are just crazy...JT was not good enough in this setting.... you have to ask why wouldn't Kerr play him, especially with his reputation on the line if they lose.. if JT was really good, Kerr would have played him simple as that.
How could Steve Kerr possibly look "worse" when he just won the Gold Medal? You also realize he also had assistant coaches there too in Ty Lue and Spo, right?
Kerr needs to be honest. It was Born and KD's last run so he needed to maximize their minutes. Tatum as the 3rd SF on the team was on the wrong team at the wrong time. And that's okay! Kerr just needed to be honest about it.
Kerr and the other coaches went out there to win a gold medal. When he doesn't play the last 3 minutes in the NBA games, does he feel disrespected. So, is it not disrespect to his NBA fans not to play those last 3 minutes. Should have been ready to give of his best when he was called upon..
@@z-mane1438That's copium at its finest. Tatum isn't better than Bron or KD. He didn't go 0/16 on jumpshots unless sorry ass Tatum that you are in these comments capping for. Cry more.
@z-mane1438 Copium at its finest. Tell Tatum to play better next time and maybe just maybe he'll be more effective on the court. He isn't the best player on the Celtics 🤷🏾♂️
@@ThirdThinker brown is not better than Tatum..u think winning finals mvp means you’re the best player lol maybe next time the dinosaur won’t hog all the minutes
With NBA HOFs and people who know basketball it’s Steve Kerr they’ve been very critical of him and his rotations but for nba fans and the media it’s Tatum they’ve been adamant that everything was good cause they won gold it just depends do you believe you have more knowledge than Steve Kerr like the HOFs do or do you agree with the media that it doesn’t matter who plays as long as you win gold.
Fire Kerr & Grant Hill from 🇺🇸 🏀. Get rid of the Nike problem and have honer and select American players!!! Not a JT fan but I hope he scores 50 vs the smallballwarriors coach Kerr
Honestly, has anyone considered that MAYBE it was a wink wink nod nod agreement between Celtic and USA basketball management to keep his minutes down due to the fact he's been going super deep into the playoffs for the past 5 seasons, and just won a championship? If i was the Celtics organization I'd be ecstatic that he didn't play MORE, embarrass himself MORE and risk injury?
If Tatum was LeBron with his finals stats, they would have given the Finals MVP to him but he ain't LeBron. That's the funny side of politics in basketball.
They made the right choices in the players they selected and played. Brown is not the defender that White is nor is he a glue guy. Tatum played like crap! The truth is the additions of White and Jrue are major keys to the Celtics winning a Championship…
Everyone in these comments keep talking about scoring, as if that's the ONLY part of basketball. Was jrue holiday getting minutes because of his scoring ability? Was Bam getting minutes because of his scoring? What about Derrick White? Theres more that Tatum could of contributed to, but seeing how it's the cool thing to hate on Tatum right now, nobody will agree with me 🤷🏿♂️
The question/problem is 😂😂😂😂how is Tatum good enough to be an All NBA player but not good enough because of matchups w inferior teams? 1 cant possibly be true
"There's enough minutes I don't care what anyone says". Rob Parker. It shows Steve Kerr didn't care or gave AF what all of you in the media thinks. He won gold and who care about 2028? We're in 2024. 😂😂
Who will look worst when US lost to the 2028 Olympics still don't get it it's not like the old days anymore when it's just like the all star game, this time they can absolutely loose to any team
What should Kerr have done ...bench KD and play Tatum ? Maybe ............but the goal is to win gold and Kerr and his coaching staff decided to not play Tatum ...and play KD. They won....and that is the main goal of Team USA.
Everybody nowaday are so sensitive. If i were jt, i will strive to be better, defensively and offensively. And show the world the best version of jt. This is a motivation to him.
I'm happy that they won but this was a terrible passing team. They had way too many turnovers. The games shouldn't have been as close as they were. I think this team showed why you need pass first point guards
Steve Kerr’s job was to win the gold medal for USA. This was achieved. Who gives a damn about whether Jayson Tatum played or not. If he was that good, then Kerr I’ve played him. He just isn’t that guy.
I've been saying for years YEARS Tatum isnt that guy. Nobody talks about his mechanics and he doesn't DOES NOT have the killer gene. Rob is on an epic streak of bullshit while Chris is away.

He played fine in the NBA finals and won a championship, played terrible in the Olympics and won a gold medal, and people are complaining.
Media trying to create controversy even after the Olympics is over 😂
Now y’all know Rob didn’t watch any of these games.
What we learned about Tatum is he’s not an efficient player. When you get your chance to play you have to be ready to shoot and score. He would come in the game and be very indecisive in his game. He didn’t play well in the preliminary games either. He gets the ball and hesitates on open jumpers, even going off the dribble was indecisive. He couldn’t make no jumpers in medal rounds, they were all layups or open dunks. Only thing you could say is Kerr should’ve put Tatum in lineup before White since the beginning and maybe he would’ve been in rhythm.
Kerr knows how to win, end of story.
Apparently, these two should have coached at the Paris Olympics. Send them to LA 2028.
I hate to say it, but this got klutch & Adam Silver written all over it. Maybe even Nike. Tatum would’ve took some shine from Bron(Especially Tatum & Brown). That would’ve messed up the whole narrative
Horrible coaching by Kerr, but we've seen him do it to Kuminga many times.
And Moses Moody
This makes me like Tyrese Halliburton more. He handled himself like a professional
Both are simps since this Olympics was solely about embellishing the reputation of Lebronz
Brown was not selected for this team I’m sure for a myriad of ridiculous reasons but he also wasn’t picked because he will shake up the apple cart. Tatum is perceived to be easy going ‘like-able’ non-combative so he’s perceived more likely to go along to get along with the program…we see now sometimes not being selected for the national was a the blessing.
Imagine asking who is worse, the coach that won the gold or the player that didnt play remotely close to the expectation in the limited time on court? Laughable
How dare a coach bench a player who can't make a shot! The pure unmitigated gaul!!!!!!
If you prioritize one man over everybody else like playing 30 mins a game, you're team will play like crap.😂😂😂😂
It doesn’t matter what Tatum shoots as a coach you gotta figure it out Steph curry wasn’t playing to well but eventually played into a rhythm and played great the last 2 games
The times we are in are just crazy...JT was not good enough in this setting.... you have to ask why wouldn't Kerr play him, especially with his reputation on the line if they lose.. if JT was really good, Kerr would have played him simple as that.
Tatum got done wrong. He was the best player on the team.
How could Steve Kerr possibly look "worse" when he just won the Gold Medal? You also realize he also had assistant coaches there too in Ty Lue and Spo, right?
You could have won a gold medal coaching with that roster. Winning the olympics in basketball isn't an accomplishment if you're the US.
Kerr needs to be honest. It was Born and KD's last run so he needed to maximize their minutes. Tatum as the 3rd SF on the team was on the wrong team at the wrong time. And that's okay! Kerr just needed to be honest about it.
both, Tatum wasn’t shooting well, and Kerr was focused on propping up the 3 old guys
Kerr and the other coaches went out there to win a gold medal. When he doesn't play the last 3 minutes in the NBA games, does he feel disrespected. So, is it not disrespect to his NBA fans not to play those last 3 minutes. Should have been ready to give of his best when he was called upon..
We know why he didn’t play because of the dinosaur hoggin the minutes
The dinosaur wasn't going 0/16 on jumpshots and stinking it up on the court.
@@ThirdThinker the dinosaur played the most minutes so he could get the Olympic mvp
@@z-mane1438That's copium at its finest. Tatum isn't better than Bron or KD. He didn't go 0/16 on jumpshots unless sorry ass Tatum that you are in these comments capping for. Cry more.
@z-mane1438 Copium at its finest. Tell Tatum to play better next time and maybe just maybe he'll be more effective on the court. He isn't the best player on the Celtics 🤷🏾♂️
@@ThirdThinker brown is not better than Tatum..u think winning finals mvp means you’re the best player lol maybe next time the dinosaur won’t hog all the minutes
Tatum looks worse because people already thought Kerr wasn’t that great of a coach but nobody thought Tatum was this much of a winer and crybaby
Easy to say after US wins Gold. That's not guaranteed if Tatum plays more and takes away from Lebron or another great players minutes.
With NBA HOFs and people who know basketball it’s Steve Kerr they’ve been very critical of him and his rotations but for nba fans and the media it’s Tatum they’ve been adamant that everything was good cause they won gold it just depends do you believe you have more knowledge than Steve Kerr like the HOFs do or do you agree with the media that it doesn’t matter who plays as long as you win gold.
Fire Kerr & Grant Hill from 🇺🇸 🏀. Get rid of the Nike problem and have honer and select American players!!! Not a JT fan but I hope he scores 50 vs the smallballwarriors coach Kerr
Honestly, has anyone considered that MAYBE it was a wink wink nod nod agreement between Celtic and USA basketball management to keep his minutes down due to the fact he's been going super deep into the playoffs for the past 5 seasons, and just won a championship? If i was the Celtics organization I'd be ecstatic that he didn't play MORE, embarrass himself MORE and risk injury?
If Tatum was LeBron with his finals stats, they would have given the Finals MVP to him but he ain't LeBron. That's the funny side of politics in basketball.
Always on point Rob
Why is this even a topic. Rob must’ve chose this topic bc literally NO ONE else is talking about this anymore. They won the gold. Get over it Rob.
Warriors vs Celtics is going to be a nationally televised game this upcoming season.
Robs voice: Where is the pushback?
They made the right choices in the players they selected and played. Brown is not the defender that White is nor is he a glue guy. Tatum played like crap! The truth is the additions of White and Jrue are major keys to the Celtics winning a Championship…
Tatum missed 16 outside shots!! Don’t forget that!!
Everyone in these comments keep talking about scoring, as if that's the ONLY part of basketball. Was jrue holiday getting minutes because of his scoring ability? Was Bam getting minutes because of his scoring? What about Derrick White? Theres more that Tatum could of contributed to, but seeing how it's the cool thing to hate on Tatum right now, nobody will agree with me 🤷🏿♂️
The question/problem is 😂😂😂😂how is Tatum good enough to be an All NBA player but not good enough because of matchups w inferior teams? 1 cant possibly be true
"There's enough minutes I don't care what anyone says". Rob Parker. It shows Steve Kerr didn't care or gave AF what all of you in the media thinks. He won gold and who care about 2028? We're in 2024. 😂😂
Who will look worst when US lost to the 2028 Olympics still don't get it it's not like the old days anymore when it's just like the all star game, this time they can absolutely loose to any team
What should Kerr have done ...bench KD and play Tatum ? Maybe ............but the goal is to win gold and Kerr and his coaching staff decided to not play Tatum ...and play KD. They won....and that is the main goal of Team USA.
Everybody nowaday are so sensitive. If i were jt, i will strive to be better, defensively and offensively. And show the world the best version of jt. This is a motivation to him.
Yeah this co- host sound like he just agreeing to keep a space on the show…😂😂😂
I'm happy that they won but this was a terrible passing team. They had way too many turnovers. The games shouldn't have been as close as they were. I think this team showed why you need pass first point guards
Steve Kerr’s job was to win the gold medal for USA. This was achieved. Who gives a damn about whether Jayson Tatum played or not. If he was that good, then Kerr I’ve played him. He just isn’t that guy.
Booker took ALL of his minutes as he should have.
I've been saying for years YEARS Tatum isnt that guy. Nobody talks about his mechanics and he doesn't DOES NOT have the killer gene. Rob is on an epic streak of bullshit while Chris is away.
