Wtf, is this over Jaylen Brown not being selected?

A 300+ million dollar player not getting play when it counts the most.

Steve Kerr, what are you doing bro?

Nike, do something. This is the guy you selected. Winning gold as a bench player? This isn’t right.

So if USA don’t beat France, we going to blame Kerr for not playing Tatum?

Well, if that is the case.

Okay but whats worse..

If he plays and they lose then its super gg Sixers will spam this forum until the end of time if that happens

Tatum being benched is good, plausible deniability, I mean wouldnt want to get exposed as a sham during the gold medal game of all places

Not just Kerr making that decision. Also Spo and others.

They don't need him. Not when you already have lebron and KD. He's good depth though.

Tatum has already proven himself as a champion. Something Embiid has never been able to do :(

Robert Horry is a 7 time Champion.

Who cares? I guess he's better than Jordan, eh?

Difference is, Horrys teams probably wins without him, or at the very least go close. Tatum is an intregal part of the Celtics success. We would never win a championship without him.

Yeah, but not a better player. 🤷‍♂️

Tatum is about about be an Olympic gold winner as a 12th man lol!!!

First he watched JB and his teammates get him an NBA championship. Now he watches team USA carry him to a gold medal. Guy is spoiled I'd say.

Yeah cuz Tatum was absolutely terrrrrrible in the finals and the rest of the playoffs :rofl:

We for sure would have won without him, right? That’s what social media tells you, because you surely didn’t watch

Feel bad for Tatum, but KD lebron AD Ant will play all his minutes. He’s an insurance backup for Olympic all stars team.

For Celtics he’s dynamic duo with brown. B)
