Jayson Tatum is NOT a "Superstar"

[Roid Jones]

Blame the media for pushing that narrative

 

[Roid Jones]

It's so annoying. Got young dudes how here trying to be Kobe instead of being themselves. Brah you're 6'8, stop trying to be pretty and fukn DRIVE and finish strong. Stop trying to hit all these crazy midrange shots and get EFFICIENT shots.

Can you imagine old man Bron, Luka, Giannis, KD on this Celtics team. It would be a sweep a potential dynasty

You see it, there is nothing wrong with paying homage but this need to BE Kobe Mk 2 is ridiculous

Yeah that’s mostly what it is and that shyt is exhausting .. from tv to social media.. then when you really watch these mfs that they champion you sitting there like … bruh not all that lmao

 

[Instant Classic]

Yeah, imo, there's only four superstars in the league right now (Bron, Steph, KD, and Giannis). Players like Kawhi, Jokic, Embiid, Dame, Luke are not on that next superstar tier that encompasses on the court and off the court stature

I feel the term superstar is subjective, but I feel guys like Tatum, Booker, AD, Towns, Paul George, Dame , and Jimmy are stars. However I do feel Embiid, Jokic, and Luka are superstars. Kawhi before the injuries was def a superstar.

 

[CantStop]

I don't think the Devin Booker comparison is accurate. Tatum is a better passer, rebounder and defender BUT Devin Booker is an elite scorer, imo and does so consistently.

Tatum needs to leave the finesse at the door. I know he is a little banged up but trying to shoot the jumper all the time is causing too many points of the change of possession.

He has 3 games to turn this around.

Tatum isn’t a better passer

Book averaged more assists playing with a natural ball dominant pg. for every 9 assist Tatum game, he has a game with 3 assists and 6 turnovers with the sloppiest passes. If anything they might be equals

Thats fair.

Put this in another thread but.. how many 24-year olds have won a title as the team's best player?

I'd argue he has talent around him that other 24 yr olds NEVER had.

Maybe you could argue KD had comparable talent I suppose with his team

 

[THEREALBRAND]

All of the slander going on in this thread means that Tatum is going to have an absolutely heroic performance in Game 5. Those are the rules of The Coli.

Bean and Duncan?

Wade?

 

[NoHalfWay]

he's never been.

in fairness the word superstar has been stretched. im pretty sure i saw someone call middleton a superstar

people think devin book is a superstar when he's strictly a star


there's only like 4-5 true superstars in the league

Yep

LeBron (past prime now tho)
Steph
KD
Kawhi
Giannis

Luka is right there on the cusp

 

[jaydawg08]

Bean and Duncan?

Wade?

I mean as "the guy" but fair enough those are good examples of top heavy talent.

 

[alpo]

i see people are still tryna slip Butler into "Superstar" discussions

Jimmy dropped 40+ on y’all, stop being goofy. Jimmy gave y’all crazy work

 

[alpo]

Tatum only getting the media push cuz he light skin. If he was dark he just be leol deng with a Kobe fetish

My mans Lt. Deng had terrible handles but he drove to the basket better than this guy.

MID RANGE SHOTS.

42% OF HIS SHOTS ARE 3P,
AND ANOTHER
39% ARE WITHIN 10 FEET.
