This face of the league bullshyt is the new Lebron vs Jordan :mjlol:

I don't even know how face of the league is relevant to anyone except advertisers if it isn't about who the best player is.
When it was Jordan, Kobe and Lebron they were the best. Now people are acting like they're in the branding/advertisement business :snoop:


No facts, or anything just dudes that have zero branding knowledge talking outta their ass

I think to be the “face of the league” or even a superstar

You don’t have to be just GOOD

You gotta have some type of edge to you, interesting story or unique personality or fire inside you like Kobe

Or at least some type of signature move or nickname like “dame-time”

I don’t really know what Tatum is even known for besides being all around Good player and a nice guy.

Right now you could even say Jalen brown is the more interesting player and “face” of the Celtics.

I dunno what Tatum has other than his son and they stopped trying to showcase him like a year or two ago as they should

The face of the league in this era sadly is the media

One of the dumbest questions this forum has ever seen.... Who's buying his Jersey(top 3 in the league) and his shoes. He's one of the players with the Most endorsements in the NBA. Sometimes you gotta leave you basement and come outside.

The kids ain’t asking their parent for an Anthony Edwards Jersey.


Part of the reason Tatum jersey sells so high is because he's on the Celtics. That is a storied franchise.

Tatum just has little to no personality and charisma. Better all around player at this point though.
It’s strange as you would think he has the traits to be that guy(strictly talking a marketing) but something seems to be lacking.

Might be the fact he isn’t super athletic but idk. Amazing person by all accounts tho

Edit: He a Celtic that’s why. When you win once every 30yrs it’s hard to connect with the youth as a winner

I’ll say, even as a ball fan, I hate watching Tatum lol. 6’9 hyper athlete built as stout as anyone pound for pound and he’ll settle for that cracked step back 3 over a 6’3 guard

When the 3 is on though, he’s probably one of the 10-20 biggest mismatches in the game. When he hits you with that pump, stalks into the mid post then drives through you or goes for that step back, he’s a problem

But how is "the face of the league" relevant?
It's like when Sharapova got more marketing bucks than Serena, but Serena was punishing her ass in every game.

Like how is that even relevant to anyone except marketing departments

They're just inventing new BS, with no clear answer, to have something to talk about. That's why they never talk metrics. Like someone posted jersey sales, is that what we are talking about? Who sells most jerseys? Or is it who negotiates the biggest endorsement deals? Most IG followers?

Like it's some influencer shyt and not sports :why:

People just gotta get comfortable with the fact that there's really nobody that clears their peers like MJ or Lebron did.

Helluva thread to make when Tatum is closing in on a chip :mjlol:

Yall have a serious problem with the word ‘better’. Your subjective eye test ceases to matter if the on court success gets away from it

Meaning, Tatum with 1,2 chips as the #1 and Ant with 0 means Tatum is better. It no longer matter what you personally think.

This argument goes back to the Duncan era. For those who were outside, there was a time when Duncan, KG, Sheed, and c Webb were all probably equal level talents (more so with KG). Well, Duncan lucked up by being in SA and that’s the end of that convo. Same can be said with Kobe and tmac.

So yea, these types of arguments are dumb. Time will sort it out.

all this is irrelevant because Victor will eclipse both of them by end of next season in popularity and play

he's gonna have these kids wanting to be french

Ant is not even top 10 in jersey sales and Wemby is only a spot below Tatum in his rookie year on a small market team
Will Wemby’s shoes sell though:jbhmm:
