Jayson Tatum is NOT a "Superstar"

[alpo]

30/8/4 on 61% TS while leading a 21-6 team, but nah not a superstar.

Threads like these really separate who really watches basketball and boxscore watchers who might tune into a nationally televised game once a month or something

Kick boulders goofy. Wait till jalen leaves…. He’s gonna be just like his father Paul George

 

[GOAT]

Do people love to come up with these fuzzy terms to have something to talk about?

It’s the same shyt with the elite QB shyt.

“He might be a very lethal scorer, very high iq, solid defender BUT he’s not a superstar” “none of the best players are superstars today, the 11th and 15th best players are the only superstars” - fans since 2010

Blow it up and get Wemby

Luka definitely doesn't lose this game

He’s really volatile…. His shot profile seems so difficult …don’t understand why he doesn’t try to get or can’t get easier looks with his size skill and length

Feel like he could be a mid-range assassin, but fell in love with that sidestep 3

 

[H. Selassie]

Light skinned Rudy Gay with an S-curl and a few extra shot attempts.

Feel like he doesn't learn.. I've always been a Jaylen Brown guy personally, but I would be incredibly frustrated with both at times

 

[BucciMane]

He's clearly not a superstar. He's in the second or third tier of stars. Absolutely not a superstar.

He’s like 6’10” damn near and plays with little to no physicality at times ..it’s weird …if his step back isn’t working he rarely has a plan B … this was really egregious in the finals …his float game should be deadly but he doesn’t really use it … also feel like he’d be incredible if he ever learns to regularly embrace scoring off the ball on pindown and flare screens

Celtics have the 2 most beta superstars in the league on the same team.

Because he lacks toughness, both mentally and physically. He's always crying for fouls, I mean ALWAYS, but more to the point that he has the size for easier shots, he's not really that strong. He doesn't attack the basket alot because he don't like to get hit and physically he's kind of a weakling...

Dude is not it, has never been it...

It’s a shame really because he’s truly skilled for his size but yeah he needs to definitely work on his body and embrace more physicality moving forward
