Jayson Tatum texted Kobes phone number before Game 7: "i got you today"

[mozichrome]

i got no issue with it because they had a close relationship
but i also say i wish this didnt get out. not because its corny or attention seeking. just that this should've remained a little private thing that Tatum used to motivate himself for the game

 

[Flex Luger]

Got no problem with this. Breh had a personal relationship with Bean. It’s his way of showing love.

 

[Gangstar8]

Everybody knows Kobe Bryant is the GOAT

 

[Jcotton1]

I DONT THINK BOSTON IS WINNIN

TATUM PREMATURE EJACULATED HERE LIKE HE WON IT ALL ALREADY

HE MAY LOVE KOBE BUT HE NOT KOBE

KOBE WOULDA KEPT THIS TO HIMSELF N THEN MAYBE SHARED IT LATER ON DOWN THE ROAD

THIS REEKS OF EARLY CELEBRATION .. KOBE DIDNT EXHALE UNTIL THE JOB WAS DONE

IF TATUM LEARNS THAT HE CAN BE BEST IN THE LEAGUE WIT THAT SKILLSET

HE NOT THERE YET THO

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

sending the text to kobe wasn't the problem breh. posting it on social media for everyone to see was

Do people tell you what to put on your twitter or ig?

 

[chargers31]

kobe in heaven like finish the job

 

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

This should've only became a story if Tatum went off for 50-60 points in GM 7 vs the Heat

 

[J-MIL]

Some things shouldn't be shared smh

 

[cobra]

so cringy aand lame

why does Kobe need to "be got"

why would kobe care about a conference finals between the Celtics and heat

 

[Hey_zeus]

They could've kept this. Tatum need to hit that line every game if it's gonna make him show up every game of the series. Let Bean rest

 

[Warren Peace]

he know damn well kobe wouldn't have been rooting for no celtics

 

[WhatsGoodTy]

So nikkas act like they don’t keep people who they loved that passed away in they phone? I don’t see the problem he loved Kobe and he sent a message to the heavens.

 

[Arcavian]

Kobe Jr.

 

[Shadow King]

Some of these replies are corny. Here's why: Bean was a mentor to Tatum. They had a PERSONAL relationship. You can call it "cringe" all you want.. Tatum actually had a real life friendship.

They're jealous don't mind them

As someone said upthread people grieve in different ways.

Did he wear the arm band the whole series or just game 7. Was Kobe a big time game 7 performer?
