magic johnson passing on jayson tatum for lonzo is crazy

Boston Celtics won a real ring not a Mickey Mouse one.

Interesting how they clinched the 18th title with 18 point victory.

You say it JT, screw them

Just your reminder that most of the media including SAS and everyone form that clown show SPEAK had the Mavs winning this series.

They're now acting like they weren't part of it all along

So gross watching the talking heads back track

Bill Russell is proud of them wish he would of handled them the tropy🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀

Hilarious when they said these dudes weren’t battle tested. WTF have they been doing the last few years!?😂

I love how no one is talking about how they picked the Mavs, nor how mercilessly they criticize JT. 😅😅😅

I love the honesty by magic

He doesn't have to win anything ...the team has to win. He is a talented young man on a talented team.

I LOVE that Magic is pissed😂😂

Should give credit to Danny Ainge for hiring Brad Stevens from College ranks to coach then shifting him to GM

Then making it seem like it was only small comments negative is crazy majority of the comments was negative from all of the media talking about. He only hears the negative all of it was negative.

Laker fans eat your hearts out!!!!

I still cannot believe that they selected LeBum instead of Jaylen Brown in the All NBA team.

The Celtics are just getting started.

I love that tatum cam up clutch in the close out game. Ya brown was more consistent the whole series but he was great when he needed to be.

Magic can find peace that the Lakers lead in the in season tournament championships😅

Led team in every category an didn't win MVP and they discussing him like they were not the main ones pushing the narrative of him not being a great player he is top 5 player whether you like it or not

It would have been appropriate to mention the Celtics coach. He was really impressive !

I hope this ends the Jaylon Brown trade talk that comes around every off season.

F the media

JT and JB really did it! 🏆 🏆

So is anyone gonna mention how they picked the Mavs? Now they're acting like they knew along that Boston would win

Tatum : What they're gonna say now??? What they're gonna say nowwwwwwwwwwww?

lol Monica w the tea sippin

Almost everybody on this panel, even before the series started had the mavs winning in 6 or 7, im sorry I just can’t take these people seriously anymore ESPN is a joke 😂

We have seen the evolution of NBA teams, it is no longer one or two stars and a good supporting cast. It is now many great players or stars and an excellent supporting cast. The Maverick’s success was incredible, they are going to be greater with more time together. But I’m a Celtics fan and am very happy to see banner 18 in the garden.

Don't cry now Johnson. The Cs are going to win more while the Lakers will reside in mediocrity for a decade at least.

how are ESPN analysts so inarticulate?

Nobody else is named Monica McNutt.

Magic drafted Lonzo over Tatum

Negativity is our culture.

The Celtics had a combination of youngsters and late thirties oldsters that kept kicked all the teams. I watched documentary about Bill Russell, Legend who won 11 of the 18 championships during the time of segregation. The Celtics it the first all Black team with the greatest Bank shot maker, Sam Jomes, Coack K C Jones, Satch Sanders. Jalen Brown was the reason the Celtics won and will other wise keep winning.

They're still young and they will get some more.

Well he should be mad at the fact that vs each other in the finals its even worse, Celtics have won 9X in 12 finals vs the Lakers. The true NBA monarchy.

Led in pts , reb and assist and didn't win finals MVP. 😢

Would they blame Jalen Brown as much as Jason Tatum if they lost? I don’t think so

YOU SHOULD NOT BE UPSET AT ALL. BOSTON IS ALL ABOUT EXCELLENCE!!!

It is nearly miraculous that the Lakers surpassed the Celtics, given the large lead that Boston for so long had over them. Magic played a big part in that, and he will always be seen as great. for that and all else he did.

They wanted to trade JB and gave him issues getting a max smh. People need to follow up on that.

Props to KP for being mature and not bringing conflicts in public

The Lakers aren’t even close…..732 winning percentage is far superior to .531

great to see these young Celtics rewarded for all their hard work

Celtics - franchises built on hard work and team spirit Lakers - built on money

Lakers "count" is suspect. Besides the bubble championship asterisk, 5 of the titles were won by the Minneapolis Lakers, before moving to LA. Other franchises don't count those. I've never heard anyone credit OKC with a championship for when Seattle Supersonics won.

I think Magic and Bird were younger than JT and JB when they won their first NBA championships. Kobe was 21, 22, and 23 when Lakers won three straight.

We got the receipts for those clowns in the media belittling the Celtics.

A totally negative world. I love the Celtics and Tatum, Brown, Holiday, White, Kristaps

Monica McNutt. That's it. That's the post...

Not Monica with the tea 🤣

People need to get a clue and ignore the endless nonsense that comes across social media. Who freaking cares what a bunch of know-nothing humans think about anything?? IT'S IRRELEVANT. The problem is people have been brainwashed to think it's important, when it most definitely isn't. Jokic was 100% right when he said he doesn't do social media because "it's a waste of time".

2:09 that’s a lie and I’m not even a Boston fan, they talk down about jason every year all year lonng.

Several of the Lakers Champions were not in LA, should not count

Greatest franchise in NBA history

It's actually pretty ironic that the analysts are justifying Jayson Tatum's response to all the negative criticisms while they are the exact same ones criticizing him mercilessly. I understand they want to sound professional after the fact but it's just hilarious they have to eat their words now. Jayson Tatum and the Celtics are world champs and these critics can't never take that away from him and his team. Congrats Boston

Lakers have the most losses in Finals history. I love they're mad because Boston won and now has the most chips in league history 😂

❤MONICA to me she’s always on point

Lol why is she drinking tea. Unprofessional Love Magic is mad

Tatum has had a great career so far.

The Los Angeles Lakers have 12 championships. The Minneapolis Lakers have 5. The Boston Celtics have 18. End of discussion.

😂😂 Tatum a champ. We know why. Celtics is one of the most hated team period and that’s cool let keep winning though ☘️

I love magic, the player..... but F*CK MAGIC! At the same time. ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️😂😂

Glad to see that Steven A Smith is NOT on this panel

Can that chair be any better any higher, Jesus. Chick in purple

When they won, Larry Bird must have lit a cigar for Red and blew some Smoke, Magic's way!

Kyrie shaken by the fans in Boston. Something those in the Disney Bubble didn't face. Fake fans, no travel, no parade, fake chip.

And you all in the group NOT giving the team there due. Screw the media. I'm soooo happy the Celts shut you media hate moguls up.☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️

(ESPN criticizes Tatum for 2 years)... "Tatum really hasn't been criticized that much" - today 🤡

what happened to espn? 3 of the 5 hosts are horrible.

Most everyone picked the Mavs. Except the Celtics 💚

I know athletes take a ton of criticism, but let's be honest, it was kind of fair on Tatum. And just an objective analysis, he wasn't really that good these playoffs either or finals. He was really good in the closeout game, but it really took an amazing like almost cheat code team to win it. Two all stars, two borderline all stars, and many other really good players. Jayson was shooting a really low percentage in the playoffs and finals, but that good game 5 raised it slightly. I mean these comments athletes make like in your face I just will never get it, so pointless because the criticism was fair for someone who's considered a superstar..He even said he'll have a claim as best player if he wins the championship, which was way wayy overstated, he's not even close honestly..

Celtics won the 2024 NBA Championship because Kevin Durant went back West in 2023 , Lebron James left Cleveland Cavaliers for Los Angeles Lakers in 2018 , Giannis was injured on the Milwaukee Bucks, Jimmy Butler injured on the Miami Heat, Golden State Warriors didn't make the playoffs. Easiest way to a Championship. Congrats on winning the chip anyway Boston. 😂

They are the next Scottie and Jordan

True journalist right there! Sipping on her English breakfast while on the air... 😂😂😂🥴🥴 🤡🤡🤡

@8:00 Larry Bird did 50-40-90 in the 1985-86 post season...

What’s going on with ESPN? You got someone there drinking a cup of tea you could hear the spoon rattling so unprofessional.

Message to Celtics haters, grow up. They won. I'm a Knicks fan and I can give Boston their props!

he don’t seem to care about being better or worse than jalen neither one of them does

Early thirties is your prime

Aren't they supposed to already be talking about all the trades or free agents that the LAKERS are going to get?? Maybe Klay Thompson? That will make them at least a 6th or 7th seed. Lakers looking so sad and irrelevant right now.

I dont consider playing in the NBA is relevant, they just play basketball its its nothing

I wonder if the irony of the Social Media trappings is lost on the social media talking heads on this show and most, not all, of the rest. And for the commenters on said Media.

Everyone picked the mavs

Records in sports are meant to be broken, always been like that. . If anyone should know that, Mr. Showtime Magic Johnson should! LeBron James broke Kareem Abdul Jabbar's record. Sooner or later, someone will break his!

Tatum win wat about cp3,pg,harden,embid ,lillard,booker keep that same energy yall gave tatum for not winning

The whole cast was the biggest critics and should be fired! The players have no excuse not to understand seeing a good team! My bad he’s a Duke guy!

MM I love you, but take out the spoon before it pokes you in the eye 😂😂😂😂

All the talk from all the non athletic reporters now you see. They need to be quiet and stop the shock reporting period. Steven A Smith #1 on that list. Skip Bayless #1b.

Clickbait title

ESPN = diversity hires, not sports and knowledge hires, but diversity hires! Man I really miss sports shows!

jalen brown was the better player in game 1 and 2 and game 3 they were even game 5 tatum was better though

Back in the day I say God God Paul needs help so he gave him Ray Allen rondo and Kevin Garnett and then with jaylen Brown I said God God Jalen Brown needs help and he gave him Jayson Tatum holiday and KP

They are talking about themselves lol but acting like its some other sports news with more power making up that narrative lol

But the most ironic thing of all times is those cutting you down 1 wish they were your positions and are sitting at home watching millions of people succeed at things they love doing dispute the criticism!!! All the hate watcher of Angel Reese do her thing !! Many of them don’t the guts start their own business or go ask their bosses for a raise and nothing eats a racist more than black people succeed and are extremely happy about it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

They lucky Giannis got hurt.

I skip past the two espn silly know nothing chicks they know noting about the mens game

2 of the most pessimistic, whiney, negative NBA personalities: J Will and Magic. And dont get this wrong: both are good people. Also: Jason Tatum has the least personality of any athlete ever.
