Sounds like you don't watch Celtics games.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

That’s gonna take a while. he isn’t even on Ja, LaMelo, Trae, Ant or Kyrie’s level when it comes to the kids

Even if half of that were true, It doesn't really matter because LaMelo will always be a stat padder on bad teams. He won't be marketable for long without some type of success.

I find it funny that some claim he isn't popular , primarily in relation to Ja & Edwards. Tatum sells more jerseys than both (kids are the primary target audience for such apparel) and he received more all star votes than both guys combined.

He outsold them prior to winning a championship, too. Y'all are telling me that they're more popular but something isn't adding up. Women love JT but they aren't solely responsible for those numbers and Boston -- as much history as they have -- isn't NY or LA. Hell, yall have claimed JB was better and he actually won the FMVP, but he isnt doing these numbers, either.

Gayson

 

[CarltonJunior]

True, I think it’s just about his personality. He seem like a cool guy to me. But I think people think he boring

Nah, the playstyle

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

he's not as good as any of the 3 players he mentioned and he needs to grow a personality.

He washed Durant in the playoffs at both ends. People just try to forget that it happened

that was not prime kevin durant tho

kd never been the same post achilles


it's no knock on Tatum, the other guys are just a cut above his skills and stardom. he is still probably he best American player we have now and will be for the forseeable future, but he needs to do something more to stand out if he wants to be on par with a KD/Curry/Bron.

Tatum is the perfect example for these young and up and coming athletes, very clean game, no off the court issues whatsoever and the face of a franchise.

On that Netflix series, Jayson’s pops said he needs to get a mean streak. Jayson is just too nice. I know he has technicals and maybe even an ejection or two, but I’ve never really seen him argue with a ref. He usually gets T’d up for waving off a ref of throwing a ball off to the side and not to the ref. He’s the type where if someone talked shyt to him, he would just laugh and probably still kill, but not go out of his way to demoralize his opponent.

Got damn get out your feelings nikka. Nobody said Tatum is trash. He just isn’t popular with kids is the point of this thread. Stat padding and all that other shyt is irrelevant
