If I'm Brown, I'm looking at Tatum funny. Imagine Mike being cool with Team USA not putting Prime Pippen on the team
Tatum even with the chip aint got no juice . If Mike said "If Scottie aint comin, I aint" they sending Air Force One to Scottie's house to scoop him. Tatum say "If JB aint comin, I aint" they say "Ok enjoy your summer "
Also, its rather ironic that in defending Brown you are making him the Scottie in this situation. JB probably wouldnt appreciate that.
Tatum is more comparable to Chuck Daly. His guy was snubbed but he wasnt in position to pass on such an honor and opportunity . Even though I still think Chuck was way worse because the very shyt that kept Zeke of the squad helped you get those 2 chips that got you the gig and then you played golf every day with Mike. Tatum would be here without JB and it aint like he golfing everyday with Stephan A.
