3 months agoNot to be that guy and make this a dick measuring contest, but I want to know where the “Tatum is the best player in the world” groupies are at with how these games are going.
That WIDE open three he passed up in I think the group stage in favor of a pump, side step relocation three stands out in my mind. It’s like somehow with guys that become primary playmakers, they’re completely baffled by taking normal spot up 3s sometimes. Why does he insist on shooting so many pull-ups?
Overall I agree it’s not a huge concern for him or the Celtics, but it will always make complete sense to me why he was benched in favor of Jrue, Booker, Bam, and Ant. Mentally it just didn’t look like he was prepared to embrace a bench 3 and D role for team USA.
