Tatum and Brown were what the Celts traded KG/Pierce for.
We weren’t just getting a player that would help bring that elusive 18th banner to the rafters.
We weren’t just getting one of the next Faces of the NBA.
We were getting, objectively, one of the best players in the history of the NBA.
It’s all rooted in jealousy, and unfortunately that’s never changing.
Which is why we will not be using emotion in this blog.
Obviously, I’m just as slanted in the pro-Tatum camp as his haters are in the anti-Tatum camp.
When you do that, my claim above isn’t crazy.
Those guys named Kevin Durant and Michael Jordan?
Just think about that for a second.
You don’t have this jot down of resume because an injured Gordon Hayward was on the roster.
From Day 1, Tatum showed he was different.
He went toe to toe with LeBron in a Game 7 as a teenager.
Again, this shit is not normal.
If it were, we’d be seeing it a whole lot more from a bunch of other players.
And yet, there’s just one, and his name is Jayson Tatum.
Look at that shit!
If that player was say, Luka Doncic, think of how that player is talked about.
If that was say, Ant or SGA same thing.
There is footage of him doing these things.
you could’t deny it.
it’s possible for you to try your best to pretend it doesn’t exist, but it does.
And you know the best part?
We’re only at the early stages of his NBA prime years.
Usually, NBA primes are around the age range 27-31.
We’re only at the beginning of his “prime”!
Think of how insane that is.
The true best of the best, blue chip all time legends.
Tatum’s been right on pace with all of them.
While that may be true, Jayson Tatum is well on his way to being pretty damn close.
