I’m not a Celtics fan but the disrespect towards this team is absolutely ridiculous. Celtics went 80-21 this season including playoffs. They couldn’t have done that without Tatum. The MSM is full of immature amateurs and I’m sick of these morons. They should all have their pay docked.
Some prefer to lose using conventional than win with the unconventional. Celtics use Tatum as a Star but in a new way that's not conventional. The analysts, professional and amateur, can either change -- admit they were wrong about what they thought was best -- OR they can say Tatum sucks, even as he wins the NBA Finals.
I would agree, and not just towards the Celtics. I'm a Mavs fan and the Celtics were the better team. Nobody gave the Mavs a shot getting to the Finals and constantly down played Luka's amazing year. The NBA has their own business agenda and it's all about what's best for the league. Remember the NBA is a product that needs to be sold.
"They didn't sweep anyone!" "They swept Indiana!" "Oh yeah, they just swept them, well they're supposed to sweep them" Perk is the biggest hater since Silky Johnson. His hatred for the C's is top tier and is so mind boggling given the fact that he won a chip with them in 08. Wild ass.
A lot of information has come out that he was kind of ostracized by the Celtics organization and by the local media that he used to work with so his anti-Celtic streak is very motivated plus he sucks at his job
I am a Celtics fan in the UK. Been watching the team for 8 years ago. Staying up til 5 in the morning most play off's. And I have been so disgusted by the media. Tatum is a top 5 player, he showed up when it mattered for his team. And this Celtics team had a great season, all the media says is 'they won't repeat and they didn't play anyone. Its just disgusting. I liked what Skip Bayless said and the truth, and Green said. Apart from that its just nonsense pulling Tatum down for some reason.
Philippines here, these guys say the Celtics are boring and I'm like what? They are all playing the same old basketball, only Kobe made it way more exciting the last 20 years by playing wild. They just want to hate on Boston who are playing good
Bro, what was so crazy to me is how Tatum during the playoffs averaged 25-10-6 on 1% worse shooting than Luka did in the same playoff run…so how tf did Luka get talked about like he’s the best player in the league while Tatum gets dumped on to the point that he’s not even the best player on his team anymore?😂😂 these people are beyond dumb, man…but we also know they just NEED something to talk about. And considering how bad we just smashed everyone, talking about anyone else doesn’t make much sense lol
Maybe he said that because he can relate to White as a player in terms of their roles on their respective teams, but I would expect Josh Hart to know better.
I love Derrick White but that comment of Josh Hart calling him more impactful than Tatum made me spit out my coffee. And that's the dude they have come to be an analyst during the finals? Riiight.
Now that Tatum has gotten rid of the pressure of becoming a champion all he has to do is go for the throat of all these haters. The Celtics are going nowhere, they've created a monster and the media keeps feeding them with these awful takes.
You know how we know Tatum is a top 5-10 player?? They constantly talk about and compare others to him. The reason the Celtics won it all and others shined as well, was in large part because of JT. He draws double and triple teams all game leaving others open or 1v1, and he took a step back this year to let everyone shine. I stopped watching MSM because it’s literally a bunch of morons who know very little to nothing about sports. People hate JT for no reason, so it pays to talk bad about him. What scares them too is this entire team will be back for the next couple years. MY BOYS DID IT!!☘️🏆☘️
Jayson Tatum is the 6th player in the shot clock era to lead his team in total points, rebounds and assists in a championship run.. He's the first of those six to NOT win Finals MVP.. ONLY Celtics player to ever score 30pts and have 10+ assists in a Finals game...
JTs the worst finals shooter of all time, and almost shot his team out of two games. JB closed those games out and guarded the best player on the floor..
@@howsittastes he has the most TOs in a playoff run too. but hes a champion, so sucks gotta eat it. you can try to pit two teammates against each other as some sort of win, if thats how you get your wins. celtics just got the championship as their win. good for you though, your comment was pretty dope.
@@dillonkirk9868his good games ARE elite. Hes just gotta eliminate those bad games that drag down his numbers. Hes first team all nba so his regular seasons are elite too. You just can’t see that 27 PPG through those homer goggles
That's exactly the point Gilbert Arena was making, all the other teams in the league knows JT is Celtics best player because of the way they defend him, their defense plan is to stop JT first, that's why JB and the others are able to do what they do. Without JT attracting the double team, sometimes triple team, they don't get those easy opportunities.
Tatum is a generational guy who could score 99 pts and be critiqued for not getting 100. Who could win, probably and most likely will, his first of potentially multiple Finals MVPs next year and would be critiqued because he doesn’t have 2. It’s a joke and complete stupidity when it comes to the hate my dawg gets 😂 A top 5 guy who has broken MULTIPLE records in not only Celtic’s history but League history. Few negative while a vast, vast majority are AMAZING. A guy who will most likely win a regular season MVP in his career, multiple chips, All NBA’s, All Stars, Conference Finals, and Finals Appearances. A do it all guy who never has any issues off the court. A true number one option who is willing to take a back seat so his “partner in crime” can not only thrive but succeed in his own right. Guys like Ja, who can’t seem to gain any understanding of how stupid (not ignorant he is), whom I love as a athlete, get praised for what he hasn’t done in his career instead of scrutinized. Zion even in a lot of cases. He can’t stay healthy, can’t keep himself out of drama off the court w/ his personal life. Ant, who is generational as well, is even being put over JT and JB and he hasn’t even achieved half of their careers, individually. It’s honestly laughable 😂 “Envy keeps your pockets empty so just focus on you…” is true, unless you’re a tool like most reporters and analysts in the media. #BleedGreen Take care, God bless! 🙏
That’s my thing people will sit here and boost up Ja and Ant for not doing anything while having bad games too and they can be put in top 5 convos but Tatum has to win and do everything well to even be in the convo
Mfs just mad Tatum and brown are the best duo in the league. Both have matured as players and I think they gunna win 1-2 more rings in the next 5 years.
Exactly! They've been singing that "separate these two" song for yrs now bcoz let's face it.. they're jealous and they think it's unfair😂 it was totally cool shaq-kobe. lebron-wade. kyrie-luka.. but no way that disgusting green wearing team should have TWO!!!
They're not, though. They just have a stacked AF team. Anyone with BBIQ can comprehend that fact. Roll back the clock and those transactions and they're still losing in the weak East.
You think they're better than LeBron and AD? Not at all. I don't think they're better than Embiid and Maxey either. Or Giannis and Dame. They just have a better stacked team and I'm not mad at them for that.
Lol they tried to give my boy Duncan the same treatment.He just kept winning and beating all the media’s favorite teams and players.He humbled their asses.
The media like Cowherd hate players like Tatum and Duncan. Everyone wants the personality of ANT and the reality is, not everyone has that personality and it should not be counted against guys that aren't loud and in your face every second
@@howsittastes Media questioned Duncan’s greatness especially compared to Shaq and Kobe.Even though Duncan beat them in 1999 in enroute to a championship in only his 2nd year in the NBA!!! Dude was the best player in the league in his 2nd year and the media was like nahhh…Karl Malone and Shaq are still better.Hell in 2004 Malone and Shaq teamed up to barely beat Duncan and choked away a title against Detroit.Media was still saying….Malone and Shaq are still better after that debacle.Fucking media clowns.
@@RobberStormfire They hate Kawhi and often KD as well for the same reasons. They don’t like it when a star doesn’t engage or go back and forth with them. KD does go at the media at times but when he just ignores them they get super angry
The media needs there to be a clear hierarchy and face to pin the shortcomings on when things go south. The celtics are just the by committee type. Hell of a starting five that don't gripe or care about who's batman, robin, alfred, whatever
The media really want to break up this duo because they know this Celtics team has a huge potential and will be a threat in the coming years. The media are all clowns for saying Mavs in 5, 6 and 7 when we all know the Celtics are winning it.
lol Tatum shot 39% and brown didn’t really play that great. The Celtics role players destroyed the mavs role players that’s the difference. Y’all gonna pay both them a lot so we will see how Tatum and brown can carry without an elite roster
@@PsychoMantis308 all the players you just named are better than anyone not named luka and kyrie. Kyrie also played horrible, idk man all the Celtic role players are just good and hit big shots make big plays. Tatum and brown were both avg at best I’ve never seen so called best players on a team play that bad and win so yeah the Celtic role players won the chip. You’ll see in the future when you’re paying those two super maxes and have to depend on them
"I've never seen a so called best player play that bad and the team win". In the 2010 finals when the Lakers beat Boston Kobes played just as bad as Tatum did in the finals this year the numbers are very close
Great video. Very correct. The Celtics and Tatum are treated very unfairly. Amazing that Perkins, who was a Celtics champion himself, could talk like such an idiot!
Perks highest scoring NBA playoff game was 18 points but somehow he thought Tatum who scored 35 in a playoff game was not sufficient and he should have scored 50. If it was so easy to score 50 points in a playoff game why the hell did Perk never come close to score half that amount? It's like there was this agenda in the national media this year to discredit the Celtics accomplishments at all cost.
It's as you say and Tatum is just the tip of the trashing on Celtics iceberg. They've been trying to diminish and break up Brown and Tatum for at least four years. When the team wins they didn't beat any "good" teams. When they beat good teams, they didn't do it by a lot. Or they're supposed to sweep. Like what the hell is that? Yeah - You're winners, but you didn't WIN enough. No other team or players have this weird expectation to be perfect.
@@howsittastes dominated game 5. Low key dominated the entire postseason. Guy isn’t a splash brother so everyone thinks he’s a bum. Actually watch the games he’s the best player on the floor almost every night
I always hated his iso "Kobe's my idol" game and wouldn't mind losing him as a Cs fan for over 35yrs if ONLY we got something Derrick-Jrue type of good in return..BUT they're always on his azz unfairly, I'm a critic of him and I believe that both him and JB costed us a title in 22 but still they crap on him very harshly bcoz he's still young
ESPN and FS1 "analysts" don't know anything about basketball. It's all about "narratives" and personalities. Ultimate media casuals. Just look at the idiots on that show Speak - they all picked the Mavericks in between 5-7 and were like "Celtics aren't that good". Nick Wright and Chris Broussard "their stats make them look better than they are. You need to ignore the stats as you can see they aren't that good". What the hell are we doing with these shows?
@@howsittastes How? He makes things easier for his teammates. His personal stats dont matter in the long run. Congrats, you are one of the people I mentioned, lol.
It was a little bit weird JT was 1st Team All-NBA and lost the ECF MVP & Finals MVP to the guy who didn’t make an All-NBA team. Media made a bigger deal out of it then necessary. At the end of the day they won 🏆
Tatum is the most talented player on the team and the leader but Brown is better at the clutch. Tatum did get 55 points in the All-Star game so his potential for greatness is there. Once he becomes consistent toward the last 2 minutes of the game hitting the winning shots or passing it to the correct teammate (Which he did more of this season and the Championship proved it.) the sky's the limit for him. Confidence will eventually take him there. Maybe this championship may start the consistency that he has lacked. I wish him well!
Watching Tatum over the years, he has had this bad habit of forcing shots during crunch time or playing too much iso-ball. But in this playoffs, and the finals in particular, he had much better shot selection, went strong to the hoop more often, and was more of an all-around savant of the game. He's clearly the best player on the team, and this title and the way he went about winning it is the ultimate vindication for him. It's a pleasure to watch him and I'm looking forward to see how he develops even further in the future.
He shot poorly all playoffs, by his standards, and he really needs to tinker further with his shot selection. His jumper had the yips, and his midrange game has disappeared. He obviously felt the pressure and at the same time, he does so much for running the Boston offense. Brown, I think, is the emotional leader of the team at this point (clearing Marcus Smart has improved their poise exponentially), and Tatum's sacrifice to allow his teammate to shine has affected his overall numbers. This offseason, he should embrace the role of playmaker more since he has so many shooters around him. But I would like to see him dominate on offense as he did two seasons ago. Perhaps having the monkey off his back would allow him to play more naturally next season.
The media is so far from reality trying to make narratives that they forget that every single one of the titles that the Celtics have won were won because they put great teams out there to compete.
The media didn't want the Celtics to have more banners than the Lakers. Then when it happens. Well the Lakers still went to more smh. The hate for JT is something I haven't seen. I don't know what he did but the hate for him is personal it's beyond Basketball. The best duo in the league by far and how does the media repay them by trying to split them apart spreading false narratives. They give every other star their flowers some have never even went as far as Tatum. If you listen to the media and didn't watch with your eyes you'll think Tatum average 5 2 and 3 with 20% shooting from the field a bona-fide scrub that belong on the bench
They're 50-50 with luka so this was not totally sarcastic😂 They just have a weird disgust over teams wearing green for some odd reasons.. I remember the Bucks of 80s, Sonic, Bucks of past few yrs and Celtics like forever getting absolute HATE!
The ones that are hurting the most right now are people like u that are looking for anything to criticize the Celtics about after u picked against them every series and they made u look foolish
Uncut Hoops, the issue is not whether he is a superstar, best player on his team or a top 5-6 NBA player or not. He is all of the aforementioned description and Celtics would not win the title without Tatum. It's just his lack of scoring consistency and disappearing acts from time to time. There is no doubt his all around game has improved and almost reached elite level but his scoring efficiency can hurt his team if the rest of his teammates goes cold and can't buy a bucket. It is excusable only because his teammates could pick up the slack.
Maybe the pressure of winning one chip has gotten to him, and post-game 5 his emotional state was indicative that he was affected by the chirping. One thing he needs to outgrow is complaining about calls. He's done a better job this season but it crops up at the most inconvenient times. He could also develop his midrange game so he can generate more easy baskets as needed like SGA does.
I think Tatum has modeled his game after Larry Legend. Taking what the defense give you. Maybe if he stayed in college longer like Larry he could have come into the league like that.
Over the past seven seasons the stats don't bear out that Jaylen Brown is a better player than Tatum and it's not particularly close. The eye test doesn't support the contention either. Yes, Jaylen has won big games for the Cs but until this past year he often went awol, frequently tried to play hero ball unsuccessfully and was a turn-over machine who still can't even shoot free throws consistently well. Tatum is taller, longer has a better shot, better passing, better free throws and better rebounder. It is to Jalen's credit he is making the conversation close, but fact is Tatum is bigger, younger, more talented and always will be. I don't remember JB ever being double-teamed and in the past other teams often let him take open threes, since if he was cold he was ice-cold. Final proof is Kendrick Perkins thinks Jaylen Brown is the better player, nuff said..
@@NortonMalcontent oh snap I didn't even notice that Giannis wasn't up there as well 🙄🤨pffffff this dude is the worst. I know there are other like Skip or Steven A that have a lotta hate for sports reporters, but at least them you'll occasionally get a good take on something. Nick Wright literally never says a single thing worth hearing. He certainly tells his lies like he truly believes them🤡
Jalen Brunson in the top 4 was all I needed to see. Didn’t think his basketball takes could be any worse than his football takes😭 dudes just a bonafide idiot
Lemedia out to destroy Tatum and Jalen Brown cuz they’re so scared that them two have a better record at winning championship than the overrated LeChoke. The tandem of Tatum and Brown lead the team who drafted them to the championship without the need to recruit established superstars.
What more do the jackals at ESPN want? Tatum is a young player who was mature enough to change up his game and become a Swiss army knife. He gives the team whatever they need on any given night and still averages 25 points. Oh, and by the way, he just won a championship... at 26 years old! I'm happy for the kid, and I say that as a UNC alum. Tatum is one of the VERY few former Duke players I'll root for .
The media and many casual fans are enamored with high-volume shot takers. Tatum at one point bought into this hype, and to some degree he is still playing this way, thus leading to poor shot selection. I believe he should embrace the playmaker/game manager role more as he did these playoffs. More Magic and less Jordan/Kobe. On his offensive bag, he could improve his post game and mid-range shot creation.
The narrative around Tatum have gotten so insane that I saw a comment on a Boston sports radio channel that said Tatum wasn’t a max player and the Celtics should trade him to build a team around brown
I think his confidence was effected by the failures in previous years to get a title. Now that they won a title i think Tatum is going to be more confident and more consistent and dominant as a result.
JT has figured it out. Even when he averaged 30 points a game, the media thought he was not a top player. He knows now that he will never be fully accepted by them so he gradually becomes a very good playmaker and rebounder as well and the result is a Championship. Just keeping winning them Champ. That is all that matters and you will always have the last word while they keep extolling the virtues of those who do not win it all.
Cap 😂 Game 6 against Milwaukee in 2022 while being down 3-2 scoring 40 while going at it with Giannis (reigning champ and FMVP). Scoring 14 pts in the 4th qtr of Game 6 after not making a field goal just to force it to game 7 and then scoring 51 in Game 7. Going toe to toe with Bron in a 7 game series as a rookie, the ECF 2018. How about in the finals, after not hitting his shots he decided be play hard nose defense guarding the 1-5 very effectively and being the lead playmaker. 7 assists in a single quarter, most in a finals game since Stockton who had 8. Finishing w/ 18-9-12. Then 9 assists in a half, Game 5, with 0 turnovers. How about 31-8-11 in that same game 😂. Almost leading his team to a 0-3 comeback, getting injured in the first moments of Game 7. If u wanna mention the finals vs the warriors, Brodie had a wrist injury that the media didn’t cover (Boston media did, New England media did). That’s why Wiggins could “lock him down” in the paint, that’s why he couldn’t make a easy layup, that’s why he shot above 40% from 3 for the series after being forced to space out. 😂 If you want more I can give you more 😂
@@DukeJimbob Thanks! But yeah, he now won 1 ring, congrats to him! But that's mainly because Brown played like a beast. Cherry-picking some good games he played is nice, but not chancing my mind. Not saying he is trash, he's just not the #1 guy when it matters most. Not a Tatum hater as well, only the cringe copycat celebrations and "speeches" I couldn't stand, that was worse than his shooting %...haha, no just kidding! They where deserving champions
At this point the criticism for Tatum is beyond ridiculous. Better playoff resume than most of his peers around the league. Plays elite, versatile defense something that not a lot of his peers can’t do. And can pass the ball as well as shoot and score. He’s so versatile it’s crazy, plus he’s got a ring now smh. He’s top 5 easily, can’t have Embiid in there with only an MVP and no deep playoff runs under his belt. Tatum is winning while LeQueen, Durcant and Steph are all home sitting on their couches. Just give the man his credit for being an elite top 5 player that does everything for a great team. You can’t discredit his position in the league just because his team is great and stacked. Yall never did that for the deck stackers I mentioned earlier smh 💀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
The celtics won playoff games even when tatum played avg or worse. Elite defensive teammates. Nobody has as much as tatum. Glad he won a chip, i like his game. jb carried the mail in more games in the finals and ecf.
You dont play the damn final to drop 40 points and go home without nothing you have to sacrifice your abilities to benefit the team in order to achieve a common goal of lifting the nba championship
This goes back to haters that hate the Celtics. If Tatum was on any other team, he wouldn't get the hate he gets. I think he does deserve some criticism but not as much as he gets.
The Media is hard on Jayson but remember they have also been hyping him up since 19.. He was one of the first “ Next Kobe’s “ and frankly as the leader with his resume when he is the Alpha he has crapped his pants entirely.. The celtics were dead ass lucky because Miami, Indiana and Philly, and Milwaukee had potential to knock them out match up wise if all were at least mostly healthy. And holiday and porzingis were major acquisitions and insurance to make sure they won… because there were times in these games the celtics looked like they were going to take a massive shyt again. Considering the 5 game series in context games that were close. Anyway Tatum is overrated ever since he said he was the best player ever
"Boston was lucky that" . For the past 4 seasons Boston has been making deep playoff runs and everybody killed them because they choked and Tatum, brown didn't perform good. I'm sure u were one of the people that expected and said Boston will choke again and now that they won and trashed the Mavs they were lucky
I think u hit the nail on the head; neither one of these guys r controversial and they’re quiet, boring stars. The media don’t get clicks off boring, they get it off of controversy and negativity. Therefore, they’ve created a manufactured storyline to drive ratings. These guys care about winning, & they won. They’ve been a very successful duo at such a young age. The irony is, if JB has a poor shooting performance, but scored 20+, they’ll highlight how he affected the other end while scoring 20; however, if JT has an off shooting night, scores 20+, gives u 7 asst, 9+ rbs, & plays effective defense, they’ll only focus on his poor shooting. Quite comical, & it’s why I don’t listen to the talking heads b/c 95% of them r inept & clueless. They just talk loud w/ a camera on them.
Perkins averaged 5.4 ppg throughout his career. If he critiques Tatum for not dropping 50, how does he look aback on his own career? Does he acknowledge the things he did that didn't involve scoring, but ignores it for Tatum? Crazy
The media should be sh!tting on Luka for being 25, making it to the finals, and not being able to finish the job. Not that I actually think they should, but they sh!t all over Tatum for being 24 and not winning the finals. Luka and the Mavs got work to do cuz the Celtics just exposed them. They showed the entire NBA how to beat the Mavs.

Without JT attracting the double team, sometimes triple team, they don't get those easy opportunities.
Exactly!!! Take away Tatum and Brown becomes the focus and the guy can't dribble so he'd average 10 turnovers a game
You think the media actually watches enough basketball to know that? Either that or I genuinely feel bad for how mind numbingly dumb their takes are
Tatum is a generational guy who could score 99 pts and be critiqued for not getting 100. Who could win, probably and most likely will, his first of potentially multiple Finals MVPs next year and would be critiqued because he doesn’t have 2. It’s a joke and complete stupidity when it comes to the hate my dawg gets 😂
A top 5 guy who has broken MULTIPLE records in not only Celtic’s history but League history. Few negative while a vast, vast majority are AMAZING. A guy who will most likely win a regular season MVP in his career, multiple chips, All NBA’s, All Stars, Conference Finals, and Finals Appearances. A do it all guy who never has any issues off the court. A true number one option who is willing to take a back seat so his “partner in crime” can not only thrive but succeed in his own right.
Guys like Ja, who can’t seem to gain any understanding of how stupid (not ignorant he is), whom I love as a athlete, get praised for what he hasn’t done in his career instead of scrutinized. Zion even in a lot of cases. He can’t stay healthy, can’t keep himself out of drama off the court w/ his personal life. Ant, who is generational as well, is even being put over JT and JB and he hasn’t even achieved half of their careers, individually. It’s honestly laughable 😂
“Envy keeps your pockets empty so just focus on you…” is true, unless you’re a tool like most reporters and analysts in the media.
#BleedGreen
Take care, God bless! 🙏
That’s my thing people will sit here and boost up Ja and Ant for not doing anything while having bad games too and they can be put in top 5 convos but Tatum has to win and do everything well to even be in the convo

Hit the nail on the head
Great video. Very correct. The Celtics and Tatum are treated very unfairly. Amazing that Perkins, who was a Celtics champion himself, could talk like such an idiot!
Yup he’s a traitor and now his ass is trying to jump on the bandwagon. He was one of the many who said JB and JT should be split
Perks highest scoring NBA playoff game was 18 points but somehow he thought Tatum who scored 35 in a playoff game was not sufficient and he should have scored 50. If it was so easy to score 50 points in a playoff game why the hell did Perk never come close to score half that amount? It's like there was this agenda in the national media this year to discredit the Celtics accomplishments at all cost.
This is more about the ppl that are judging him...they aren't worth much in sports media let alone life! Tatum is the man! Brown is his running mate!
Klowndrick Perkins
It's as you say and Tatum is just the tip of the trashing on Celtics iceberg.
They've been trying to diminish and break up Brown and Tatum for at least four years.
When the team wins they didn't beat any "good" teams. When they beat good teams, they didn't do it by a lot. Or they're supposed to sweep.
Like what the hell is that? Yeah - You're winners, but you didn't WIN enough. No other team or players have this weird expectation to be perfect.
The thing about JT is everyone hates on him, but everyone would take him on their team in half a second

ESPN and FS1 "analysts" don't know anything about basketball. It's all about "narratives" and personalities. Ultimate media casuals. Just look at the idiots on that show Speak - they all picked the Mavericks in between 5-7 and were like "Celtics aren't that good". Nick Wright and Chris Broussard "their stats make them look better than they are. You need to ignore the stats as you can see they aren't that good". What the hell are we doing with these shows?

Tatum and Brown: Co best players in the world right now
I heard Colon Cowturd takes bites out of donuts and puts them back in the box (no joke).
I believe that Skip says outrageous things for views and clicks. I believe that Kendrick actually believes the rubbish spewing from his mouth.
Tatum could care less what these idiots who never played sports thinks
It was a little bit weird JT was 1st Team All-NBA and lost the ECF MVP & Finals MVP to the guy who didn’t make an All-NBA team. Media made a bigger deal out of it then necessary. At the end of the day they won 🏆
Tatum is the most talented player on the team and the leader but Brown is better at the clutch. Tatum did get 55 points in the All-Star game so his potential for greatness is there. Once he becomes consistent toward the last 2 minutes of the game hitting the winning shots or passing it to the correct teammate (Which he did more of this season and the Championship proved it.) the sky's the limit for him. Confidence will eventually take him there. Maybe this championship may start the consistency that he has lacked. I wish him well!
It’s always someone exposing someone with good ole Uncut Hoops🤣
Doesn't give any opinions, just does a gotcha with these reporters/analysts
@@reversetrianglethat’s the point of video series
We gotta remember the NBA media is mostly Lakers fans and they all have an inate hate for the Celtics no matter what.
Watching Tatum over the years, he has had this bad habit of forcing shots during crunch time or playing too much iso-ball. But in this playoffs, and the finals in particular, he had much better shot selection, went strong to the hoop more often, and was more of an all-around savant of the game. He's clearly the best player on the team, and this title and the way he went about winning it is the ultimate vindication for him. It's a pleasure to watch him and I'm looking forward to see how he develops even further in the future.
He shot poorly all playoffs, by his standards, and he really needs to tinker further with his shot selection. His jumper had the yips, and his midrange game has disappeared. He obviously felt the pressure and at the same time, he does so much for running the Boston offense. Brown, I think, is the emotional leader of the team at this point (clearing Marcus Smart has improved their poise exponentially), and Tatum's sacrifice to allow his teammate to shine has affected his overall numbers. This offseason, he should embrace the role of playmaker more since he has so many shooters around him. But I would like to see him dominate on offense as he did two seasons ago. Perhaps having the monkey off his back would allow him to play more naturally next season.
Tatum's weakness in my opinion is his shot selection, the guy is way too athletic and skilled to be shooting so many 3s
Honestly I can’t think of a more complete player in the NBA. He can do everything at an A level
Thank you, finally a voice of reason. I have drastically reduced my time watching most of sports talking heads due to their hypocrisy
Jaylen Brown is the best player theres nothing wrong with that
He led the team in points, assists and rebounds in the playoffs. Like, I know he didn’t have an elite game, but still.
The media is so far from reality trying to make narratives that they forget that every single one of the titles that the Celtics have won were won because they put great teams out there to compete.
He’s the the best player on the Celtics
The Celtics have wreaked the league and I love it ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️!
The most ironic part in the “JT vs JB” saga is Kidd trying to use the media’s tactic and then the media to react to it
ESPN is just rage baiting at this point because that gives the most engagement.
True their analysis is out of their mind.
Colin, pause, no Diddy😂
Oh it's ALL Diddy with this pretty LeDk addict boy😅
The media didn't want the Celtics to have more banners than the Lakers. Then when it happens. Well the Lakers still went to more smh. The hate for JT is something I haven't seen. I don't know what he did but the hate for him is personal it's beyond Basketball. The best duo in the league by far and how does the media repay them by trying to split them apart spreading false narratives. They give every other star their flowers some have never even went as far as Tatum. If you listen to the media and didn't watch with your eyes you'll think Tatum average 5 2 and 3 with 20% shooting from the field a bona-fide scrub that belong on the bench
Bunch of clowns is ridiculous the media
NBA Media gets exposed every day 😂

@@Musika809I believe it’s the other way around..
@@howsittastesno it’s not
The ones that are hurting the most right now are people like u that are looking for anything to criticize the Celtics about after u picked against them every series and they made u look foolish
Uncut Hoops, the issue is not whether he is a superstar, best player on his team or a top 5-6 NBA player or not. He is all of the aforementioned description and Celtics would not win the title without Tatum. It's just his lack of scoring consistency and disappearing acts from time to time. There is no doubt his all around game has improved and almost reached elite level but his scoring efficiency can hurt his team if the rest of his teammates goes cold and can't buy a bucket. It is excusable only because his teammates could pick up the slack.
Yeah, he’s not gonna address that..
Maybe the pressure of winning one chip has gotten to him, and post-game 5 his emotional state was indicative that he was affected by the chirping. One thing he needs to outgrow is complaining about calls. He's done a better job this season but it crops up at the most inconvenient times. He could also develop his midrange game so he can generate more easy baskets as needed like SGA does.
Phenomenal video!
I’m a huge Tatum hater and I feel great rn. Tatum not even the best player on his team so idc that they won 😂
Then you're foolish.
Tatum living rent free in someones head
I think Tatum has modeled his game after Larry Legend. Taking what the defense give you. Maybe if he stayed in college longer like Larry he could have come into the league like that.
What’s crazy is this ESPN crew is almost the exact same crew that when Luka was drafted said he’d be trash and could not compete in the league
Over the past seven seasons the stats don't bear out that Jaylen Brown is a better player than Tatum and it's not particularly close. The eye test doesn't support the contention either. Yes, Jaylen has won big games for the Cs but until this past year he often went awol, frequently tried to play hero ball unsuccessfully and was a turn-over machine who still can't even shoot free throws consistently well. Tatum is taller, longer has a better shot, better passing, better free throws and better rebounder. It is to Jalen's credit he is making the conversation close, but fact is Tatum is bigger, younger, more talented and always will be. I don't remember JB ever being double-teamed and in the past other teams often let him take open threes, since if he was cold he was ice-cold. Final proof is Kendrick Perkins thinks Jaylen Brown is the better player, nuff said..
As Jayson Tatum said "What are they going to say now...!!!?" This is sad.

Dawg this your title of every video but a different player hahah

If you're watching the Micky Mouse Sports Network, you're getting exactly what that moniker suggests.
Lemedia out to destroy Tatum and Jalen Brown cuz they’re so scared that them two have a better record at winning championship than the overrated LeChoke. The tandem of Tatum and Brown lead the team who drafted them to the championship without the need to recruit established superstars.
No. They are stating the obvious. Tatum doesn’t show up in the finals..
What more do the jackals at ESPN want? Tatum is a young player who was mature enough to change up his game and become a Swiss army knife. He gives the team whatever they need on any given night and still averages 25 points. Oh, and by the way, he just won a championship... at 26 years old! I'm happy for the kid, and I say that as a UNC alum. Tatum is one of the VERY few former Duke players I'll root for .
Jason Tatum feels like Curry all over again. He is never going to get credit he deserves.
Damn I hear people saying Curry top 5 ever
Dudes say Curry is top 10 all time 😂😂😂
They want Tatum to play like Luka (and Harden before him). But that just leads to losing. So they'll criticize him either way.
The media and many casual fans are enamored with high-volume shot takers. Tatum at one point bought into this hype, and to some degree he is still playing this way, thus leading to poor shot selection. I believe he should embrace the playmaker/game manager role more as he did these playoffs. More Magic and less Jordan/Kobe. On his offensive bag, he could improve his post game and mid-range shot creation.
Very smart piece , Salute !
I’m so tired of the media
The narrative around Tatum have gotten so insane that I saw a comment on a Boston sports radio channel that said Tatum wasn’t a max player and the Celtics should trade him to build a team around brown
Must be WEEI, they haven't been relevant or had a decent show for years now.
@@wileeplz8578or Felger and Mazz. After game 4 Mazz had the Mavs coming back.
Nick wrong is always wrong 😂
I think his confidence was effected by the failures in previous years to get a title. Now that they won a title i think Tatum is going to be more confident and more consistent and dominant as a result.
maybe the new media will recognize Tatung's greatness if he is able to score 50 points per game, 50 rebounds per game and 50 assists per game
JT has figured it out. Even when he averaged 30 points a game, the media thought he was not a top player. He knows now that he will never be fully accepted by them so he gradually becomes a very good playmaker and rebounder as well and the result is a Championship. Just keeping winning them Champ. That is all that matters and you will always have the last word while they keep extolling the virtues of those who do not win it all.
You have to remember he plays for the most successful franchise in NBA history anything other than a championship is a failure
For what? Shooting a great FG%? Brown is the MVP and for a reason! Tatum never delivers when the big moment is there!
Cap 😂
Game 6 against Milwaukee in 2022 while being down 3-2 scoring 40 while going at it with Giannis (reigning champ and FMVP).
Scoring 14 pts in the 4th qtr of Game 6 after not making a field goal just to force it to game 7 and then scoring 51 in Game 7.
Going toe to toe with Bron in a 7 game series as a rookie, the ECF 2018.
How about in the finals, after not hitting his shots he decided be play hard nose defense guarding the 1-5 very effectively and being the lead playmaker. 7 assists in a single quarter, most in a finals game since Stockton who had 8. Finishing w/ 18-9-12.
Then 9 assists in a half, Game 5, with 0 turnovers. How about 31-8-11 in that same game 😂.
Almost leading his team to a 0-3 comeback, getting injured in the first moments of Game 7.
If u wanna mention the finals vs the warriors, Brodie had a wrist injury that the media didn’t cover (Boston media did, New England media did). That’s why Wiggins could “lock him down” in the paint, that’s why he couldn’t make a easy layup, that’s why he shot above 40% from 3 for the series after being forced to space out. 😂

JASON "THE FACILITATOR" TATUM......
At this point the criticism for Tatum is beyond ridiculous. Better playoff resume than most of his peers around the league. Plays elite, versatile defense something that not a lot of his peers can’t do. And can pass the ball as well as shoot and score. He’s so versatile it’s crazy, plus he’s got a ring now smh. He’s top 5 easily, can’t have Embiid in there with only an MVP and no deep playoff runs under his belt. Tatum is winning while LeQueen, Durcant and Steph are all home sitting on their couches. Just give the man his credit for being an elite top 5 player that does everything for a great team. You can’t discredit his position in the league just because his team is great and stacked. Yall never did that for the deck stackers I mentioned earlier smh 💀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
It's about as crazy about a big controversary about who was better, Ruth or Gehrig?
The celtics won playoff games even when tatum played avg or worse. Elite defensive teammates. Nobody has as much as tatum. Glad he won a chip, i like his game. jb carried the mail in more games in the finals and ecf.
You dont play the damn final to drop 40 points and go home without nothing you have to sacrifice your abilities to benefit the team in order to achieve a common goal of lifting the nba championship
JT almost shot his teams out of two games. How is that sacrificing..
This goes back to haters that hate the Celtics. If Tatum was on any other team, he wouldn't get the hate he gets. I think he does deserve some criticism but not as much as he gets.
Great video🤘🏿👏🏿👏🏿
That cutaway at 7:42 was hilarious
Tatum is Brown’s robin
The Media is hard on Jayson but remember they have also been hyping him up since 19.. He was one of the first “ Next Kobe’s “
and frankly as the leader with his resume when he is the Alpha he has crapped his pants entirely.. The celtics were dead ass lucky because Miami, Indiana and Philly, and Milwaukee had potential to knock them out match up wise if all were at least mostly healthy.
And holiday and porzingis were major acquisitions and insurance to make sure they won… because there were times in these games the celtics looked like they were going to take a massive shyt again. Considering the 5 game series in context games that were close. Anyway Tatum is overrated ever since he said he was the best player ever
"Boston was lucky that" . For the past 4 seasons Boston has been making deep playoff runs and everybody killed them because they choked and Tatum, brown didn't perform good. I'm sure u were one of the people that expected and said Boston will choke again and now that they won and trashed the Mavs they were lucky
the nba media makes weatherman look like harvard graduates.
All 4 rounds
Tatum led his team in rebounding, assist and points. While playing great defense.. dude is only 26. Lmao
I think u hit the nail on the head; neither one of these guys r controversial and they’re quiet, boring stars. The media don’t get clicks off boring, they get it off of controversy and negativity. Therefore, they’ve created a manufactured storyline to drive ratings.
These guys care about winning, & they won. They’ve been a very successful duo at such a young age.
The irony is, if JB has a poor shooting performance, but scored 20+, they’ll highlight how he affected the other end while scoring 20; however, if JT has an off shooting night, scores 20+, gives u 7 asst, 9+ rbs, & plays effective defense, they’ll only focus on his poor shooting.
Quite comical, & it’s why I don’t listen to the talking heads b/c 95% of them r inept & clueless. They just talk loud w/ a camera on them.
Perkins averaged 5.4 ppg throughout his career. If he critiques Tatum for not dropping 50, how does he look aback on his own career? Does he acknowledge the things he did that didn't involve scoring, but ignores it for Tatum? Crazy
Why do they hate him so much do you think?
The media should be sh!tting on Luka for being 25, making it to the finals, and not being able to finish the job. Not that I actually think they should, but they sh!t all over Tatum for being 24 and not winning the finals. Luka and the Mavs got work to do cuz the Celtics just exposed them. They showed the entire NBA how to beat the Mavs.
