Just absolutely love how he handled it. No need for him to make a bigger joke out of it.
Like him more and more every day.

Nothing a player can do if that coach rather play 2 of his teammates that differ to him because then Curry, KD and LeBron can all bounce the ball more.

Totally understand the fit.

USA didn't even take the Finals MVP....makes sense because why would they want another iso option.

The 3 best players of the era, LeBron, KD and Curry went out and got to have fun for gold. Anyone who watched the games could tell these guys were just playing "my turn". Especially at the end of games. Pretty embarrassing basketball from such a roster.

Tatums time to lead will come. It just won't be the flashy way you want it to be.

Doesn’t Tatum idolize Kobe? His shot selection at times reflects his desire to emulate Kobe too. Sometimes he can’t miss those turn around fadeaway bank 3s, but dude is inconsistent.

I feel like it’s fair to expect Tatum to try to raise the flashiness of his game

Def tries to replicate his game but doesn't have anywhere near the same "me
me me" Mamba mindset. Tried to be more of an all around team player and he gets a lot of hate for that. I'll take a team player.

Mamba shot like Tatum plenty of times too....he'd just shoot more though :lol:

I don't think he needs more flash to his game. With his advance in reading defenses, I think the next step is to continue bulking so he can finish around the rim because he still blows the easiest layups. Sickening.

The biggest weakest in his game is off ball offense but GL playing with JB trying to set up Tatum :lol: he's not good enough to but I understand JSP not seeing that

Too bad, Tatum is not gonna play important minutes over KD Lebron AD Curry Adabayo.

White n holiday plays more minutes for their guard defense and guard plays.

It’s understandable Tatum forward positions r overloaded during Olympics. B)

Tatum showed during the championship run how much those individuals awards mean to him. Dude was GUNNING in garbage time in the Finals to try and pad his stats to get Finals MVP. Showed no support for JB when he won it too. Shit teammate on full display because he couldn't lead his team to a title and JB could.

Tatum said himself he should have done a better job supporting JB lol. Dude is NEVER gonna shed the overrated/selfish/corny label he now has branded to his forehead. The Olympics situation was just icing on the cake. He's down bad rofl
