Nick Wright probably had hated Tatum since he posterized Lebron in his rookie year

It’s because Tatum dunked on Lebron in the playoffs

Lemedia destroying Tatum for not being a Lebron believer.

The NBA and Sports media in general has become so biased and political. It's unwatchable

Tatum is in a lose lose situation all around. Not to mention if Jaylen Brown plays better for one game the media will restart the “Jaylen is better” narrative again

I really don’t get the Tatum criticism -Very durable player -Doesn’t complain/flop -Role model to the youth/ no off-court drama -although I would like to see him take an MVP level leap like Luka, Giannis, Jokic, SGA, he is still a dependable superstar when it matters -Can score on 3 levels -Plays solid defense -great teammate/doesn’t throw his teammates under the bus

Tatum committed the cardinal sin against the media: not giving them anything consistently to talk about. The Celtics need him to be the selfless, cerebral leader on the court who enables their historic offense and defense. The media wants him to be a head case diva and a hard carrying scorer who will give you 40 points every night but losing half the time.

They usually hate anyone that plays for boston. Freakin haters. Any franchise that wins the most in history is hated the most. Look at Tom brady everyone hated him until he retired

This man Shannon sharpe just tried to clown Tatum for shooting 44% to get 31 points😂 these guys think 50% shooting is all that matter nowadays

I don't know why the young man doesn't get the credit he deserves man he's a soild player and he's only getting better

Dont let this distract you from the fact that LeBum James will NEVER be the goat

The one thing he forgot to mention was how soft the refs are when dealing with Jayson Tatum. I found a 10-minute compilation of just refs giving Tatum soft techs. It is getting rediculous. Additionally, Tatum made his mark earlier in his career as a scorer, but now, his rebounding, defense, and basketball IQ have risen off the charts, and it is what no one is talking about.

We have people telling blatant lies like "Tatum gets worse as the playoffs go on" ad so forth. Basketball fans and media are TRULY the worst in all sports. Some of the dumbest fans I've ever seen. NO PLAYER is above criticism, but look at the reactions to how people treated Anthony Edwards in Game 7 vs Tatum and the Celtics in game 1. Both teams won by the way, but Tatum played significantly better than Edwards. This isn't to even say Ant played bad because I've defended his all-around play outside of his shooting performances.

I’d almost route for Boston if Tatum would destroy Edwards in the Finals. Just to see the squawking heads have to eat crow.

4:00 mark: That’s exactly why they hate Tatum; he’s not polarizing or controversial, therefore he’s not news worthy.

Jason Tatum plays for Boston if he played for the lakers they would love him

Thank you for this take brother. Like this guy is so good that the media nit picks on Tatum so much. Tatum has had 5 straight great games and Ant went 6/24 and nothing was said because they won. My guy I think we had the same brain. This is awesome take. Was thinking the exact same way. They are obsessed with talking about this guy. Win the Celtics lose, the east were so weak. It's just crazy

My question is - who do they actually like in the media besides Lebron???

Man, someone should have remembered Nick Wrong the 2011 finals of his self proclaimed GOAT 🤦‍♂️

The Media been searching desperately to find Another Jordan so Bad its Sickening

It’s funny because bro really should have been in the mvp convo. Lebron having wade and Chris Bosh didn’t stop him from winning.

I think you hit the nail on the head with this one.... I've never been a Celtics fan or recall wanting to see them win ever, until 2019-2020 season. Covid hit and I just got into collecting sports cards again. I pulled a nice numbered Tatum rookie. Also I was looking at the future of the NBA and trying to predict who the next young star of the league would be. Embiid, Giannis, and Jokicwere the medias favorites for guys pushing Bron, Curry, and KD out the door. Luka Trae and now Zion were the projected new faces to carry the league. I was looking for a player that was overlooked but in the right position to take the league by storm. Enter Jayson Tatum. Man has been nothing but a reliable overachiever since the 2017 playoffs, yet all they do is criticize and minimize his achievements while trying to catapult people who don't have nearly the accomplishments he has above him because they like them more. And the funny thing is I don't understand why people are so critical of this dude. All he does is go out, hoop, and mind his business. Of all the reasons I hear why people don't like JT as a player, the most common one is " that nigga just too light-skinned bruh" 😂😂 but no lie. It's just ashame that because he plays for a team that many people don't like and he's not a big personality that people want to see him fail so the people they like can be the main attraction. Funny thing is once he or any other player that's doubted achieves all of these things the critics say you wouldn't, they cheer for you like they never said a word. It's really weird how people do that without hesitation. When it's all over for this man he will be one of the greatest players from his era if not ever and it's just sad that sooo many people spend their time hating instead of appreciating greatness... Damn didn't 20+ years of hating Lebron for no reason teach you bitches anything?

Thanks for keeping it real uncut hoops

I talk about this all the time in the community or with my friends and everyone just calls me a Celtics fan which isn’t wrong but idk how you can be a real NBA fan and not see the clear cut negative agenda the media and even some players/coaches have towards Tatum. If any other player compared to him were in his position right now with his resume at his age they’d be singing their praises like they were the second coming of Jordan.

Literally every single player in the NBA does the exact same thing. They just single Tatum out because anyone who's not a Celtics fan hates the Celtics. No other team is treated like that. I can show you games in the playoffs, multiple games, that any star you want has had bad games. I can understand some of the criticism, if it's valid but it almost never is. It's crazy to me that one of the best players in the NBA and an actual good humble person is treated like that. But it is what it is. He will prove them wrong and expose their bias anyway.

What gets me is the media always talking about the Celtics offense being to much 1 on 1. I’m a Celtics fan and at times I agree, but the Mavericks run the same exact offense literally the exact same with Kyrie and Luka and you never hear the media talk about them doing to much isolation and I bet they do it more. Stephen A Smith is the reason I can’t stand the ESPN media anymore, because he’s always critical of the C’s offense but not other teams who run the exact same.

This is why I won't spend a penny on the NBA. No ESPN season pass... no merch. Nothing. It's all medias bullshit.

Uncut Hoops proves he knows basketball yet again. What an amazing and brave video to make. The Tatum hate is popular from everyone. Both the old heads and the tiktok hoop fans. MJ or LeBron fans alike. Dude is so hated for no reason. Thank god the critism is gonna be wayy more quiet after the ring this year. Celtics could probably win 2-3 of the next 5 after that too. Then it might finally slow down

I turned off the Celtics Pacers game with a couple minutes left in the 4th quarter thinking it was a definite Pacers win....Later on just for kicks I pulled up the box score and saw the game went to OT and the Celtics won the game....

Probably JAYSON TATUM’s financial team may need to send checks to stop the slander.

I got a lot of respect for this channel; I mainly watch to keep myself grounded by hearing opinions I generally don't agree with. But every so often you a drop a video that's entirely consistent with your basketball philosophy and I *also* agree with. Props for speaking your mind instead of speaking for attention/views.

If Boston wins a chip and Brown wins FMVP - That would be hilarious

Thank you for speaking about this, shits getting ridicoulous, when ant shoots 6/24 they speak about his other aspects like defense and that he almost had a triple double but tatum literally lead every major stat against the cavs and dropped 36 on the pacers

YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!

Right on point uncut hoops

Kobe Bryant is his favorite player, so there you go. That's it, that's all

Let people hate on him. He is still my idol bcoz of his personality and him being a very humble player. I would obviously pick him over a narcissistic self proclaiming GOAT. Jordan, Kobe and Tatum 💯

man, at this point I think the NBA media hates everybody that's not Lebron

Tatum peaked making his "how to tie a tye" yt video

You made some great points, Tatum is getting a lot of unfair criticism. Especially considering the fact that unlike the new media darling Ant, he’s very humble and respectful. But Tatum and the Celtics have a bad habit of underperforming or playing to their opponents’ level when the Celtics should be blowing them out. That bad habit of them is a frustrating thing to watch.

Excellent video and spot on analysis.

Thanks for this video i truely affriciated

You’ve gained a subscriber

Jason Tatum is a high character player who can galvanize his team. It’s Boston hate because the media knows that the city is hypersensitive when it comes to their sports teams. Three years ago Jason was a budding superstar. Like Anthony Edwards. If Edwards doesn’t win in three years, the media snakes will turn on him too.

Thanks!

Thank you 🙏🏾

JT was a force the last game. And he was clutch at the end. Rebounds, steals and a big 3 pointer!!!

Thank you for saying what I’m thinking!

It’s because Tatum is a Kobe fan

The media really doesn’t like Boston. Part of that is probably the Lakers glazing

I still liked how he played in game 1

NBA media is an absolute joke. I really can't watch it anymore.

Completely agree with the idea that the media decides who it wants to promote. However, this year, the Celtics have no excuse to lose to anyone left in the playoffs. T-wolves are scary, but the path is literally laid out for the Celtics.

Well said!

"I got you today"

So crazy how players can have a bad game until the 4th and the media praise them for turning it on when it matters but not jason tatum Theres obviously some valid critisims with his game but fuck me the slander is out of control

This is spot on

Like i said Before The face of the so called League cant fit into Jayson Tatums Trophy case....But A Championship Ring Can!!!.... ...

It’s mostly the way his averages get worse as the playoff rounds have more stakes

This. Exactly this. It's so frustrating seeing Tatum play excellent defense and sacrificing points for dominant team wins, contributing in all areas of the game but get absolutely hacked by the media, when someone like Embiid (who has NEVER EVEN MADE IT TO A CONFERENCE FINALS!) or ineffective Ant's 16 points getting not even so much as a comment... it's so biased against JT, it's embarrassing. So many conference finals in so few years in the league, with so many big moments should be PRAISED, not criticized. Ridiculous.

I don't care if Tatum's not even in the top 30 of the NBA's best players. the Boston Celtics uderstand Bannner 18 is loading this year through the selfless play of the starters and the bench players. KP will rest til the Finals and Ant or Luka will burn each other out during the WCF. Boston in 5bvs Indy Lets Gooo🎉☘️

Yes hyped. That's why

The Celtics are a one-of-a-kind team. The reason for Tatums treatment is at the core of what drives this amazing team: Who do you need to stop? Brown, White, Hauser, Horford, Pritchard, Porzingis and Holiday Almost everybody can contribute at a high level. And they have a coach who understands the chaos that this creates on the court. What I see is a group of guys that love to play together...who are willing to dial back their egos to keep everyone (even Luke Kornet !) involved in the offense. My concern has been what happens during crunch time in a big game. IMHO Tatum - a great player - hadn't quite shown Bird-esque confidence that he can take over when needed. But this year I see a new level of confidence as demonstrated by his play during the overtime in the Pacers game.

Iv been saying this the last 4 years and didn’t think it couldn’t get worse but damn

Where used to be hated in all Boston sports…it’s jealously!!

Broussard going for Nick Wright territory claiming Ja Morant had passed Jayson Tatum. What a moronic thing to say.

4:33 whatever shannon lol

Tatum is great. He does nothing but win and make deep playoff runs despite being in his early 20s for much of his success, he rarely sits out games, he puts up great numbers, play solid defense. Its like they want to write him off before he is even 27 years old. JT had like 34 and 11 or something and in game one vs the Pacers but the media only said he had an off game. He missed one clutch 3 and hit another in OT. He outscored the entire Pacers team in OT with 12 in 5 minutes! Not a word about that from the media.

When joker puts up 25 and the nuggets lose a close out game by 45 points says a word...tatum does 25 10 9 in a close out win and all they talk about is hortford 😂

Tatum is a best example of young player but successful. Imagine 24 years old but multiple playoffs, finals experience.

People here saying I actually like Tatum “BUT” this and that. Come on people you just hate him because he is good and he plays for the Celtics. Be honest!

Thanks for doing this because Tatum got unnecessary criticism over the win over the pacers and he brung them home.... I just think it's unfair and I hate Boston but we have to keep it real for the integrity of the game 💯💪🏾🤞🏾

“If u don’t have haters, ur doing something wrong”

If Tatum played for a small market team he’d be in everyone’s top 5 list. People love to hate on Boston, and I get it.

I couldn't agree more .

Thank God we have independent media like this channel whose only agenda is the truth. 👏👏👏

Thank you!!!!😭😭😭😭

3:40 Lmao !! The Rock was talking crap to Jericho who just debut in raw that night

Excellent video! The NBA media hates Jayson Tatum and the Celtics! Notice how these talking heads keep talking trash about Tatum and Celtics! This is their narrative to get ratings. There are a lot of Tatum and Celtics haters. Tatum is young and is now coming in his prime. The only way to silence the critics is for the Celtics to win the championship and Tatum to get the Bill Russell MVP award. 😊 The Celtics are due. This is by far their best team.

Tatum is the winningest playoff player since 2017. More playoff wins and points than KD, Curry and Lebron since he entered the league. Trailing only Kobe by 130+ points (as of Game 3 ECF) for the most points of a player under 26 (Kobe and Lebron started at 18, Tatum started at 19). If he scores 20+ ppg and the Celtics goes to the Finals and plays at least 5 games, he will break the record. I can't see how the media can slander Tatum for being successful at a young age. I hope Tatum wins his first ring this year along with JB and Old Man Horford just to shut these bums up

Ant doesn't even want the media push. He wants to earn it.

Analysts hate Boston sports. That’s the long and short of it.

Tatum is so quietly silky smooth, he doesn't look like the superstar that he is.😂😂

Media and some Celtics fans have always been crazy disrespectful to JT. The fact is that JT is one of the most versatile superstars in the NBA right now. Not many other players can threaten 50 points in any given game, 10+ rebounds and 6-8 assists while playing above average defense. I mean, who can do that? The only ones that pop immediately to mind are a healthy Kawhi Leonard (though Kawhi has never been much of a passer), healthy AD and a younger Lebron (back when Lebron played defense). I'm sure there are more, but it's a very short list of players. The other thing is that Tatum doesn't have to be this box-score statpad every night. He's on a team with 6 all-NBA/All-Star caliber players. What's amazing about Tatum is he can be the face of a team with that much talent and adapt what is normally a ball-dominant, iso-heavy playstyle to instead fit into working with these guys. Instead of trying to hold the ball and force his own shots, he's instead passing and finding other ways to contribute without the ball (such as rebounding and defending). When JB or D White gets going, Tatum is there feeding them the ball or letting them do their thing. This is actually one of the toughest things for a superstar to learn and it's the reason that so many star-studded teams fail. It's hard to learn to go from being the guy who does whatever he wants to being another cog in a well-oiled wheel.

Had 36 and 12… comeback win .. his co star is nice though and AS Jalen should supports him don’t forget about Holiday! That shit was amazing last night Pacers inexperience was dismal blatant…

The media is obsessed with crowning whose next and get bored easily. You can see it in how they cover the mvp race and who wins it. They want to crown edwards as next like they did for tatum 5 years ago, and they are bored of the celtics winning games but not championships

Imma just be real like most people dont want to admit, but its because Tatum is mixed and lightskin. Thats why they trying to push Edwards and Morant as the new age face of the NBA

Tatum came through when it mattered and when he had a second chance at winnimg the game.

you are totally right. For some reason the media goes after Tatum and is never happy. And they go on every opportunity to get him an other bad comment. I mean look at Perk's comments on the show with Richard Jefferson. He wants him to go for 50. Man he scored 36 and 12 rebounds. sorry that's bs. He wasn't perfect prior to overtime and he could have bin more aggressive yes but he delivered big time in overtime. And actually, no, he doesn't need to go for 50. Brown is there, White is there, actually everyone of the team is a weapon on that team. and what nobody is talking about, as you mention: He averages 10 rebounds in the playoffs together with 5,5 Assists in addition to his 25 points, and he plays amazing defense. the media is talking about brunson and how he has more of an impact on scoring: yes, because he needs to, there was only one other real scorrer left on his team. If randle and the other guys would have bin healthy he wouldn't need to score this much... and brunson isn't really known for his defense. Not saying he's bad, not at all, he's very good, one of the best offensive players but scoring isn't the only thing in basketball. And why is it bad to have good players around you who can score as well. Tatum doesn't need to score 50 because the others want to shoot too. Brown, Porzingis, White all those guys want to score and are clutch. In my opinion, yes he should be aggressive to score but if the shot isn't there for him, why forcing up a contested fadeaway 3? No, if Brown is open, then let him shoot/dunk. Tatum wants to score 25, Brown wants 25, White wants 20, Porzingis wants 25 they all want to score and are very capable of. In my opinion that's much better then to just have Brunson scoring 30-45 and if he doesn't they loose... so, the media and other teams are just jealous they don't have that many options. stop hating Tatum and Brown. Those guys are insane and are great on offense and defense. Try to find a whole group who plays great on both sides of the court.

I love how a young team was playing stef curry Tatum was 24 same age as haliberten they had no chance

I’m a Celtics fan, I think most of us can’t say enough good things about Tatum and all our guys. Have loved watching them all year, I’m sure Jayson is gonna be just fine if he ends up champion and someone else wins finals MVP. But, I’d personally really love to see him go crazy in the finals and take both trophies.

FACTS!!!!!!

That usually means Lebron/Clutch Sports hates Tatum..

im rooting against the celtics and i gotta say tatum is a PROBLEM. if I had to choose between prime mello and jason tatum right now im choosing tatum easy and even im mad at myself for admitting that but his all around game is crazy. i peeped some celtics fans dissing him. for those who are yall bugging hes the real deal.

Tatum getting the Lebron treatment 😭

Dude averaging a double double whole post season

Nick Wright hated Lord Brady also.

They treat him like Harden they ignore all his good games and only focus on his bad games. And Luka literally takes 25+ shots to score 30

The hate for him is so real🤦🏾‍♀️ after the finals lost I knew I was a real Tatum fan ☘️ because he's so much better than what people see.... he's a much better passer then he's credited for and moves without the ball... He's a humble superstar

The Celtics and Tatum in particular cannot win for winning. It’s like everyone refuses to give them their flowers bc they’d rather diminish them so they can spotlight someone else. If Tatum came out and dropped 50 on 60% shooting they’d say he wasn’t getting his team involved.
