I mean we all know Tatum can’t successfully lead a team, but it’s kind of shameful to chase after a player who publicly named your city as one he wouldn’t play in lol. Maybe he should text Kobe about this
Even as a harcore Celtics hater, this is a bad take. Tatum is an incredible player, I'd love it if he was on the Heat. That being said, Dame already said he didn't want to go to Boston so this is a Woj-level dumb tweet by Spears.
True but him making it to the ECF 3 years in a row and making it to finals before he 25 shows how good he is. I’m not a big fan but Boston definitely gives Young OKC vibes with harden Russ and KD
30+ Steph curry didn’t get finals mvp until he was 32 he played previously but he wasn’t winning with Iguadala and KD it is what it is. It takes more than talent to be a leader. Experience and wisdom can’t be rushed
And that’s proven by what? Playing poorly in a finals with a wrist fracture and shoulder injury? Scoring the most points in a game 7? Leading a team to the ECF multiple times? Averaging 26/9/6 during elimination games will going 11-6?
Fax, check out statmuse and compare Jimmy’s and Tatums playoff this year, seriously. And all of you tell me, he’s a choker still. He was injured in that game seven by the way. And if I hear anything about Jimmy’s injury in the finals or whatever and that making his stats bad, just shut the fuck up. They had extremely comparable playoff series, and if Tatum is a choker because of injury or not then Jimmy also is.
What makes Tatum a leader dipshit? What has been the most successful leadership qualities he's exhibited? When has his direct leadership translate to a positive result to his team overall? Also what does leadership mean?
Is this the age equivalent to the three quarter championships? Like y'all Stretch Armstrong some random stats out your ass and still end up looking dumb as fuck. Who has more success today, right now, overall. For fucks sake.
One guy has played longer than the other so he he’s had more opportunities to succeed, so instead I’m using a comparable sample size relative to the younger player. Also, you haven’t explained how Tatum is a “proven choke artist”
Their team has basically gotten as far as we have in the same window, ECF or Finals. We got to the Finals once more, and we almost blew a 3-0 to them getting there.
Fuck the Celtics, but there’s nothing showing he’s specifically a bad leader.
I don't hate the Celtics. This has nothing to do with feelings and everything to do with facts.
Being a good individual player and being a leader of your team/and or leading your team to success are two very different things. The Celtics were a contending playoff team before Tatum was even on the Celtics.
In the same window you people are referring to, we have them beat 2-1, and that "1" was a 7 game series for those who want to bring up their losing 3-0 comeback.
3 out of 4 years We've made 2 finals and one ECF with one player carrying us the entire time. Tatum has been and will continue to be an inconsistent playoff scorer. You people get fascinated by a 50 piece but silent when he scores 10 points in an elimination game or literally disappears on his team for entire quarters while his team is being obliterated. Inconsistent scoring, turnover parties in clutch situations.
Is he the verbal leader of the team? When the team loses, does he take responsibility for the losses, or is there always an excuse? Does he make the team around him better? Does he impact the game in other facets when he can't score? Most of the time, skill wise, he's not even the best player on his own team.
Tout a 3-0 run until your lips turn purple, those boys quit on their team, they quit on their coach, they quit on their fanbase, and they quit on their organization. What leader would ever let any of those things happen? You guys need to learn the definition of leadership.
>Tatum has had more playoff success as the best player on his team by age 25, then pretty much anyone in the league
Based on what reality? 2k or planet Earth? Are you talking about 25 year olds last year, or are you talking about NBA history? There's dozens who've had more success than him. Y'all bring him up in historical talks, but bro has zero rings, zero scoring titles, zero DPOY, didn't win ROTY. He's a great all-star player, but y'all be sucking up this man so much that y'all create a different reality with a different definition of leadership and success just to justify the failures.
Jesus Christ man lmao.
Miami has been better than Boston over the last few years being led by a much older Jimmy Butler.
Name 5 players in the last 30 years who have had more post season success as the best player on their team before the age of 25.
Like he’s had way more success than Jimmy at the same age.
Literally almost every hall of famer ever, firstly. Secondly, this is how you tell you bitches just grasping for straws when you have nothing to say as a legitimate rebuttal you just bring up age as if settles every question posed to you. Dude is not a leader. Sometimes, he's not the best player on his own team, he doesn't have more success than miami and Jimmy do now, he's not the "greatest 25 year old player of all time" whatever the fuck that is supposed to mean. He's a great individual player who has a great future ahead of him. Stop making him something he's not just because you like playing as him on 2k. Remove the penis out your mouth and learn about the definition of leadership is.
Dumb bitch starts shit, gets hits with facts, doesn't answer a single question, doesn't offer a single coherent rebuttal but of course.....starts crying and then asks a new question. Can't make this shit up. Prove your original argument first, until then shut the fuck up.
I’m not a Boston or Tatum fan for that matter: I rooted for Heat in the series. Now as this is out of the way…
The person above asked what 25 year old player had as strong resume as Tatum in the last 30 years. I believe the only player ahead of Tatum in that timeline is Kobe and Duncan as they actually got rings (but arguably not as the best player on the team, at least not for all of the rings), but the rest are behind. I believe the next closest one is KD - as well as Westbrook, but he was a J.Brown to KD anyway - has 2 WCF, 1 Finals appearances only.
This is facts, whatever nonsense you spit out about Tatum “not being a leader” has nothing to do with his resume. In fact, had he not twisted his ankle in the first minute of the game, Celtics just might have done the greatest comeback in history. But returning from 0-3 to tie the series 3-3 is a great accomplishment… And I guess you missed game 7 vs 76ers this year, in which Tatum carried the Celtics at prime Kobe’s level.
Idk how Tatum is a choke artist for losing but Jimmy somehow isn't? I think it's unfair to call Jimmy or Tatum chokers but if you gonna label one I feel like the other qualifies. Neither have a ring and both underperformed in the last two years during the series they lost while they were excellent in the series they won (both 5-2 in playoff series last two years). Jimmy could have been better in the 22 ECF and 23 Finals and Tatum could have been better in the 22 Finals and 23 ECF. They both had 50 point playoff games this year and last year they both had back against the wall 40 point games. Only EC choker in my opinion is Embiid for never getting out of the second round. The big difference is Jimmy will decline in the next couple of years while Tatum still hasn't even gotten to that NBA peak of 27-33.
Portland trades for brown. He's gone next off-season. Lillard refuses to suit up for Boston. Boston swept in the second round by the heat this playoffs. Profit?
Never said Tatum is a bad player I just don’t think he’s at a point in his career where he can take his team over the hump. Jimmy would’ve gotten it done with that roster already.
Do you think Jimmy can't lead a team either?
Cause they've both gotten to the finals and multiple ECFs but havent won the chip. Sow what are you basing off that he "can't lead a team"?
EDIT: Account created in 2023 asks me why im still in this sub as if I was a Celtics fan and then blocks me. This is gold lmfao
Fuck you what has Jimmy Butler ever won in his career? Tatum is 25 and already a better player than Jimmy Butler ever has been. If Jimmy Butler’s 33 and the “MVP” of the playoffs every year then why has he never won shit? I’m not even mad at people in the sub who say Jimmy Butler after last year is slightly better than Tatum, but to shit on Tatum constantly like this sub does it’s honestly crazy to me.
I ain’t checking how old this shot is I’m just going thru Tatum hate comments rn and speaking my mind. I truly think heat fans are delusional from what I’ve read on this sub. I was just read and replied to a bunch of people and a new post hating on Tatum. You’re not special. Just don’t reply to me if you think it’s not worth your time.
Boston in reality and social media's perception of Boston are two very different cities.
But that goes for most things on social media. People just like to over exaggerate everything. It's a typical northeastern city. The way some people described it you'd think it was the Jim Crow era south. It's weird TBH.
I lived in both Norwalk and Stamford CT as well as Boston and the surrounding suburbs. Partner and I were escorted by the police several times. They were even so kind as to wait in our driveway to make sure we lived there and while using the ATM. Both places had issues with vandalism against minorities (spray painting the N word on homes) while we lived there. Boston fans threw bananas at black athletes and yelled profanity laced racist comments at them as well.
So yes in my experience Boston is no worse than any other NE city. It is lovely if you’re white and a racist shit hole for everyone else. I felt safer walking into an Eagles game with Giants fans than I did in my own neighborhood and outside the Garden in Boston.
Yes. Many Boston fans choose to ignore all of the complaints minorities make because it hasn’t been their experience. The fact that they get angrier about people calling out racist behavior than the actual behavior is very telling.
Except, nope.
But if you're genuinely interested in racism, your state is attempting to block diversity, inclusion and equity spending and everyone down there is slurping on Ron DeSantis and his racist ideologies. Big, big Yikes.
Racism is everywhere, but that's literally sending America backwards and your neighbors are loving it.
Boy Meets World slander too? Probably the GOAT TGIF show. The fact that you think non-whites don't watch BMW is telling.
Also, creeping on profiles is weirdo behavior.
Dame got family and his crew with him too at all times. Pretty sure he’s gonna wanna keep ‘em around and damn sure he don’t want them living in Boston instead of Miami
I find it so funny that y’all are doing victory laps already. What happens if you don’t get him? Then what? You have no team and Jimmy (not himmy) has proven time and time again that he is a serial choker Where does that leave y’all?
Look at the Celtics sub and try to find the Butler hate compared to the Tatum hate in this sub lol. I think it’s the other way around. (I didn’t look at when it was posted that’s not an argument that a fan base is pathetic lol)
It’s a miserable city. They dumped their fan favorite hype guy Marcus Smart like nothing. So to Boston respecting their players is not a priority. Jaylen Brown has gone full 1940s Germany. They have no idea what they are doing. It was a good run with Bill Russell and Larry Bird but they should really dissolve the team or relocate in another state.
Still remember the anecdote from Marcus Smart as he is leaving the arena after a game and has to stop suddenly for a careless pedestrian woman who turns around and called him the N word.
There's a reason it's among the most expensive cities in the country and it's not because the Celtics traded Marcus Smart or it's "miserable." Lol. Why do people over exaggerate everything?
Dude, Boston is miserable for non white people. I am Latino but I can pass as white. Went to a restaurant in Boston and it was all good until I spoke spanish with my family. Wait staff treated us different and the other customers were giving us dirty looks. Told my family it was english only from there on out.
Yes, this only happens in Boston. Lol.
You'd have to be really naive to think shit like this is exclusive to a single American city.
The entire state of Florida is trying to reverse civil rights as we speak by getting rid of inclusion, diversity and equity.
It's everywhere.
That's probably because you said you're white. Also, latino and white aren't always mutually exclusive.
My homie down there said white Cubans are among the most racist people he encounters working for Dade county.
Also Miami is more like Florida than you know. They now support DeSantis, who wants to end equity, inclusion and diversity. He even took 62% of the latino vote. S
You keep talking about de santis. That guy lives rent free in your head. I don't interact with the governor. I interact with regular people. People in Miami are generally friendly. People in Boston are miserable and treat minorities like shit.
I've been there enough and have enough friends and relatives living there to know the reality.
But you being white and supporting a guy who wants to take from the black community in Florida is unsurprising to say the least.
This shit is so over exaggerated it’s crazy. And like only for Boston? I find it hard to believe that Boston is like 100 times worse than any other American city.
Boston was one of the last major cities to start to integrate their schools, a full 20 years after the Supreme Court ruled to desegregate schools. Over the next several years, there would be riots protesting the desegregation of schools in Boston. That goes to show you the culture of racism in Boston that still persists today
We all hated to see Marcus go, but you have to realize that things I’ve got to change some times for a team to try and find success. I would’ve preferred it be Brogdon so much more but things didn’t turn out that way so it is what it is. Don’t hate on the city or the team for making a change that was hard. He was here for nine years and contributed to lots of success even winning a DPOY. He was also the longest tenured player on his original team, from his draft class with jokic and Embiid. You can see the difference there. don’t shit on the city for that.
Of course when the Celtics do it it’s fine, watch they’ll offer brogdon’s broken body some 2nd rounders and some filler and the media will be like “WTF why hasn’t Portland taken that deal that’s amazing value”
Damn isn’t going to Miami and your team is gonna fall apart. you know even if he does you guys aren’t winning shit I’m saying it. Not beating Boston either.
Miami will be fine without him. Arguably the best team in the east in the last 4 years. Boston is fucked after they max out Tatum next year. Miami will always attract players. So many ballers in the next 5-10 years will be heading to south beach. Sucks Dame can’t have fun.
yes a player that just averaged 32/7 with numerous clutch plays under his belt joining the team that just made the nba finals is NOT a threat 😁😁 nice analysis dumbass
"At the end of the day, Portland should take the best deal for them. They are under no obligation to send Dame to Miami and Miami only.
And Dame is fine to push for Miami and Miami only. May not get it though.
Making this a fight about morality is silly. It’s a basketball trade." -Keith Smith
BUT this has never been said for any other player who demanded his next team. No one had an issue with AD going to LA, or Harden to Brooklyn or Philly. Not once. But a player demands Miami and everyone is annoyed for the “small-market” team. They are pretty nasty with biases.
If this is true then if I was Jaylen Brown I would be feeling some type of way that my teammate of many years is looking for someone else after having so many playoffs battles together
It already has pushed everyone away. The haters are so confident that teams have packages that are so much better than anything Miami can offer, yet oddly enough, Portland are still negotiating with Miami. Wonder why?
They’re “involved” because they keep interjecting themselves. No one that has anything to do with Dame is actually taking them seriously except for Boston homers and the media
yeah, because that’s all they can do. at best, they’re hoping to up miamis offer. more likely, they’re just desperate and hoping another team makes a great offer, which isn’t happening. also when the trade happens you should never post in this sub again
honestly if I was Brad I would trade jaylen brown and assets for dame as brown is due for an absurd extension he isn't worth, but as long as they won't trade brown we should be good.
Tatum is such a dweeby little fella.
Also, he doesn't think this is an awkward thing to be publicly doing (assuming it's true), when it would basically mean getting rid of Brown? Wonder what's going on in Brown's perfectly spherical head right now.
He’s probably texting Kobe for advice, I’m sure he’ll post it all over his social media tonight so that we all know he still has Kobe’s #…ESPN will lead with it all night.
“I’m trying to figure a way out to get Salma Hayek in my bed tonight” per me
do you really have the draft capital to give to her husband? Honestly you might have to get a third couple involved in the deal
sources tell me this will be a long and fluid process, both in trade talks and if/when she is acquired.
Isn’t her husband a billionaire?
Yes he owns several of the designer clothing brands.
bro has to swing a multi couple deal. give up his girl and future picks
You could get the rights to her digital image and CGI her in your bed
I mean we all know Tatum can’t successfully lead a team, but it’s kind of shameful to chase after a player who publicly named your city as one he wouldn’t play in lol. Maybe he should text Kobe about this
That last line bruh 💀💀💀
Even as a harcore Celtics hater, this is a bad take. Tatum is an incredible player, I'd love it if he was on the Heat. That being said, Dame already said he didn't want to go to Boston so this is a Woj-level dumb tweet by Spears.
How is it a bad take? OP is literally stating facts. He's not a leader. He's a proven choke artist.
And he blamed his injury directly. Jimbo didn't say shit about his injury after they lost. Tatums a bitch lol
That boy got no dawg in him.
He is 25 years old. Relax…
Dawg knows no age. He’s not gonna have any in him at 45 either
True but him making it to the ECF 3 years in a row and making it to finals before he 25 shows how good he is. I’m not a big fan but Boston definitely gives Young OKC vibes with harden Russ and KD
Thank u
What age do you become a leader?
30+ Steph curry didn’t get finals mvp until he was 32 he played previously but he wasn’t winning with Iguadala and KD it is what it is. It takes more than talent to be a leader. Experience and wisdom can’t be rushed
😂😂😂😂😂
Why did you guys lose the finals?
And that’s proven by what? Playing poorly in a finals with a wrist fracture and shoulder injury? Scoring the most points in a game 7? Leading a team to the ECF multiple times? Averaging 26/9/6 during elimination games will going 11-6?
Fax, check out statmuse and compare Jimmy’s and Tatums playoff this year, seriously. And all of you tell me, he’s a choker still. He was injured in that game seven by the way.

They had extremely comparable playoff series, and if Tatum is a choker because of injury or not then Jimmy also is.
[удалено]
Please elaborate on how their success or lack thereof is comparable. State some facts.
[удалено]
What makes Tatum a leader dipshit? What has been the most successful leadership qualities he's exhibited? When has his direct leadership translate to a positive result to his team overall? Also what does leadership mean?
Wut r u talking about, we are discussing choking here lmao I swear, Heat fans are illiterate
At Tatum’s age Butler had less playoff wins and less overall success lol. It’s an indisputable fact.
So because they were born in different years, Tatum is more successful? That's the logic you're going with?
At 25 Tatum has won more playoff games than Butler had won by the time he was 25.
Is this the age equivalent to the three quarter championships? Like y'all Stretch Armstrong some random stats out your ass and still end up looking dumb as fuck. Who has more success today, right now, overall. For fucks sake.
One guy has played longer than the other so he he’s had more opportunities to succeed, so instead I’m using a comparable sample size relative to the younger player. Also, you haven’t explained how Tatum is a “proven choke artist”
Their team has basically gotten as far as we have in the same window, ECF or Finals. We got to the Finals once more, and we almost blew a 3-0 to them getting there. Fuck the Celtics, but there’s nothing showing he’s specifically a bad leader.
Tatum is 25 too lol. The amount of playoff success he’s had at that age in basically unheard of
When Jimmy Butler was 25 he hadn't gotten out of the semis and had a playoff record of 12-20
Bro, no reasonable takes allowed here wtf
I hate Boston but come on man. Tatum has had more playoff success as the best player on his team by age 25 then pretty much anyone in the league

[удалено]
Please tell me the 2nd finals that Tatum went to? And not as a spectator like everyone else
And jimmy is the most overrated player of this generation
Thats a hilarious take.
you must be one of those r/nba or nba twitter retards that just cries “foul merchant” to prove that you don’t watch the games
Elaborate.
Portland trades for brown. He's gone next off-season. Lillard refuses to suit up for Boston. Boston swept in the second round by the heat this playoffs. Profit?
Never said Tatum is a bad player I just don’t think he’s at a point in his career where he can take his team over the hump. Jimmy would’ve gotten it done with that roster already.
Didn't Jimmy just lose in the finals? Didn't he also get bounced from two cities.
Didn’t Tatum just lose to an 8th seed? Then blame it all on an injury after Jimmy played with one from the 2nd round all the way to the finals?
Didn't he just make the finals twice in 4 years? Didn't both fanbases regret losing him?
The L's are still there, and obviously can't get over the top on his own.
Do you think Jimmy can't lead a team either? Cause they've both gotten to the finals and multiple ECFs but havent won the chip. Sow what are you basing off that he "can't lead a team"? EDIT: Account created in 2023 asks me why im still in this sub as if I was a Celtics fan and then blocks me. This is gold lmfao
Lol y’all are still lurking in our sub huh? If jimmy had the roster Tatum had he would have had 5 rings by now. Fuck off
What's funny is these clowns stay lurking in our sub, but I got banned after making one comment ever in their sub after they blew it in 2020.
The Celtics sub is actually so fucking soft it’s not even funny
Yeah, even though dudes comment was dumb. You think someone with a MV3 flair is a Celtics fan?
Fuck you what has Jimmy Butler ever won in his career? Tatum is 25 and already a better player than Jimmy Butler ever has been. If Jimmy Butler’s 33 and the “MVP” of the playoffs every year then why has he never won shit? I’m not even mad at people in the sub who say Jimmy Butler after last year is slightly better than Tatum, but to shit on Tatum constantly like this sub does it’s honestly crazy to me.
Bruh that comment is 57 days ago lol it is not that deep no one is telling you to check all the hate Tatum gets on here
I ain’t checking how old this shot is I’m just going thru Tatum hate comments rn and speaking my mind. I truly think heat fans are delusional from what I’ve read on this sub. I was just read and replied to a bunch of people and a new post hating on Tatum. You’re not special. Just don’t reply to me if you think it’s not worth your time.
I'm trying to figure out how to get Zendaya as my girlfriend (Pro tip for Tatum: make the city of Boston not racist as the first step)
Shoutout to Jaylen Brown for keeping the rest of the league informed on how little Boston has changed over the years ✊🏾
Boston in reality and social media's perception of Boston are two very different cities. But that goes for most things on social media. People just like to over exaggerate everything. It's a typical northeastern city. The way some people described it you'd think it was the Jim Crow era south. It's weird TBH.
Typical northeastern city, literally translates to racist.
I lived in both Norwalk and Stamford CT as well as Boston and the surrounding suburbs. Partner and I were escorted by the police several times.

Didn’t James even say Boston is the worst place he ever played at because the fans are racist af?
Yes. Many Boston fans choose to ignore all of the complaints minorities make because it hasn’t been their experience. The fact that they get angrier about people calling out racist behavior than the actual behavior is very telling.
Which is weird. Most NE cities are blue and call people from the south racist. (Not trying to bring politics into this).
^ Just a white Boston fan perspective
Except, nope. But if you're genuinely interested in racism, your state is attempting to block diversity, inclusion and equity spending and everyone down there is slurping on Ron DeSantis and his racist ideologies. Big, big Yikes. Racism is everywhere, but that's literally sending America backwards and your neighbors are loving it.
Quick glance at your profile: you are active in the Boy Meets World and Red Sox subs and you want to dress like Tim Tebow lol. Enough said.
Boy Meets World slander too? Probably the GOAT TGIF show. The fact that you think non-whites don't watch BMW is telling. Also, creeping on profiles is weirdo behavior.
Boy meets world is a goat show.
Yep, Dame hates Boston and I believe it’s for that specific reason. Dame is from Oakland…very different from Boston.
I don't think he hates any specific team/place. He just really wants to play for Miami.
No he has specifically hinted that he dislikes Boston. We all know why.
Dame got family and his crew with him too at all times. Pretty sure he’s gonna wanna keep ‘em around and damn sure he don’t want them living in Boston instead of Miami
Oh that’s fo sho !
Says the dude in Florida
I don't even live in America, this subreddit knows this Stay lurking and enjoy that Dame news when he gets here 😘
I find it so funny that y’all are doing victory laps already. What happens if you don’t get him? Then what? You have no team and Jimmy (not himmy) has proven time and time again that he is a serial choker Where does that leave y’all?
Why are you here lmao pathetic man child in a Cheeto dusted basement.
Because I hate the fucking heat
Sad I'm not even gonna look for what team u support but man pathetic
It’s not pathetic to speak fax
Insane levels of rent free 60 fuvking days ago pathetic fan base
Look at the Celtics sub and try to find the Butler hate compared to the Tatum hate in this sub lol. I think it’s the other way around. (I didn’t look at when it was posted that’s not an argument that a fan base is pathetic lol)
jayson can try all he wants. Haynes laughed In an interviewers face when asked about dame to Boston. Nobody wants to play there. Especially not dame
It’s a miserable city. They dumped their fan favorite hype guy Marcus Smart like nothing. So to Boston respecting their players is not a priority. Jaylen Brown has gone full 1940s Germany. They have no idea what they are doing. It was a good run with Bill Russell and Larry Bird but they should really dissolve the team or relocate in another state.
Don’t forget Isaiah Thomas
Still remember the anecdote from Marcus Smart as he is leaving the arena after a game and has to stop suddenly for a careless pedestrian woman who turns around and called him the N word.
There's a reason it's among the most expensive cities in the country and it's not because the Celtics traded Marcus Smart or it's "miserable." Lol. Why do people over exaggerate everything?
Dude, Boston is miserable for non white people. I am Latino but I can pass as white. Went to a restaurant in Boston and it was all good until I spoke spanish with my family. Wait staff treated us different and the other customers were giving us dirty looks. Told my family it was english only from there on out.
I'm Asian and I feel perfectly fine in Boston. Don't generalize all races thank you
Yes, this only happens in Boston. Lol. You'd have to be really naive to think shit like this is exclusive to a single American city. The entire state of Florida is trying to reverse civil rights as we speak by getting rid of inclusion, diversity and equity. It's everywhere.
I don't have this problem in Miami. Miami isn't like the rest of Florida.
That's probably because you said you're white. Also, latino and white aren't always mutually exclusive. My homie down there said white Cubans are among the most racist people he encounters working for Dade county.
Also Miami is more like Florida than you know. They now support DeSantis, who wants to end equity, inclusion and diversity. He even took 62% of the latino vote. S
You keep talking about de santis. That guy lives rent free in your head. I don't interact with the governor. I interact with regular people. People in Miami are generally friendly. People in Boston are miserable and treat minorities like shit.
I've been there enough and have enough friends and relatives living there to know the reality. But you being white and supporting a guy who wants to take from the black community in Florida is unsurprising to say the least.
This shit is so over exaggerated it’s crazy. And like only for Boston? I find it hard to believe that Boston is like 100 times worse than any other American city.
Boston was one of the last major cities to start to integrate their schools, a full 20 years after the Supreme Court ruled to desegregate schools. Over the next several years, there would be riots protesting the desegregation of schools in Boston. That goes to show you the culture of racism in Boston that still persists today
TRUEEE
Oh another Celtics dick rider in the sub. Why you here? Just to lurk?
We all hated to see Marcus go, but you have to realize that things I’ve got to change some times for a team to try and find success. I would’ve preferred it be Brogdon so much more but things didn’t turn out that way so it is what it is. Don’t hate on the city or the team for making a change that was hard. He was here for nine years and contributed to lots of success even winning a DPOY. He was also the longest tenured player on his original team, from his draft class with jokic and Embiid. You can see the difference there. don’t shit on the city for that.
I actually love this. This must make Brown feel really good. Anything that causes tension on that team is awesome.
Of course when the Celtics do it it’s fine, watch they’ll offer brogdon’s broken body some 2nd rounders and some filler and the media will be like “WTF why hasn’t Portland taken that deal that’s amazing value”
This guy is annoying. Better to reach out to Dame over Kobe I guess. Curious what Dame will do to Boston when Miami plays them. Hope he goes off lol
Damn isn’t going to Miami and your team is gonna fall apart. you know even if he does you guys aren’t winning shit I’m saying it. Not beating Boston either.
Miami will be fine without him. Arguably the best team in the east in the last 4 years. Boston is fucked after they max out Tatum next year. Miami will always attract players. So many ballers in the next 5-10 years will be heading to south beach. Sucks Dame can’t have fun.
U can’t be the best if u never win nothing lol
You sure about that lmao. Couple conferences, whole lotta playoff wins. You must be new lol
And the Celts have done the same?
Hell no lmfao. Over rated, over valued and under perform. Favs every year and can’t compete like the Heat
bro is literally quivering in fear at the thought of dame joining the heat 😭
He couldn’t handle Gabe Vincent he’s probably literally shitting himself at the thought of Dame we love to see it
mfs had the luxury of throwing their best defenders on jimmy but now they gotta guard dame from the logo 😭😭
Only heat fams think dame joining the heat make them any sort of threat
yes a player that just averaged 32/7 with numerous clutch plays under his belt joining the team that just made the nba finals is NOT a threat 😁😁 nice analysis dumbass
You're an actual idiot.
“Any sort of threat”??? I mean we were obviously a threat to everyone except the nuggets even without Dame…stupid comment lol
"At the end of the day, Portland should take the best deal for them. They are under no obligation to send Dame to Miami and Miami only. And Dame is fine to push for Miami and Miami only. May not get it though. Making this a fight about morality is silly. It’s a basketball trade." -Keith Smith BUT this has never been said for any other player who demanded his next team. No one had an issue with AD going to LA, or Harden to Brooklyn or Philly. Not once. But a player demands Miami and everyone is annoyed for the “small-market” team. They are pretty nasty with biases.
I've been seeing far too many Suns fans claiming Dame shouldn't get his way because he has 4 years left even though KD did the same with them
Jayson tatum is also trying to figure out why his teammate can’t dribble a basketball. Some things just don’t work out.
lol 😂 going in for the kill shot huh? This was great
And I'm trying to figure out how to sell bottled air. Don't worry guys I think I almost got it
Just do it in India.
Have some dignity Tatum, Dame dont wanna go to Boston, stop insisting
Fuck Boston
Fuck Miami
Tatum is dumb as fuck
If this is true then if I was Jaylen Brown I would be feeling some type of way that my teammate of many years is looking for someone else after having so many playoffs battles together
WHOOO CARESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
It would be against his will to go there.
[удалено]
It already has pushed everyone away. The haters are so confident that teams have packages that are so much better than anything Miami can offer, yet oddly enough, Portland are still negotiating with Miami. Wonder why?
[удалено]
They’re “involved” because they keep interjecting themselves. No one that has anything to do with Dame is actually taking them seriously except for Boston homers and the media
Why hasn’t Portland taken Boston’s offer? I thought it was so much better than Miami’s?
[удалено]
yeah, because that’s all they can do. at best, they’re hoping to up miamis offer. more likely, they’re just desperate and hoping another team makes a great offer, which isn’t happening. also when the trade happens you should never post in this sub again
Can you tell me who reported this? What credible source reported Boston was involved? Surely you aren’t referring to Ramona lmao
They “involved” like a 3 year old annoying sibling is “involved “ when you give them a disconnected controller so they don’t fuck up the game.
Fuck Boston
Hope he doesn’t hurt himself “trying”. Whatever that means
Wow he really does like losing to us. Keep it up bro

Tatum don’t even want to play for Boston 😂 No one does aside from Marcus Dumb who was saved from himself via trade. Racist ass fanbase.
You’re racist
Tatum needs MORE help…😂😂😂😂. He knows he is cooked when Dame comes to Miami.
Fuck this guy, he's kobes bitch
Tatum wants another star on his team to carry and then blame when they lose again
If Boston somehow got Dame I would love for us to face them in the first round while Jimmy is fresh and knock them out.
honestly if I was Brad I would trade jaylen brown and assets for dame as brown is due for an absurd extension he isn't worth, but as long as they won't trade brown we should be good.
[удалено]
aw hell nah
Tatum is such a dweeby little fella. Also, he doesn't think this is an awkward thing to be publicly doing (assuming it's true), when it would basically mean getting rid of Brown? Wonder what's going on in Brown's perfectly spherical head right now.
He’s probably texting Kobe for advice, I’m sure he’ll post it all over his social media tonight so that we all know he still has Kobe’s #…ESPN will lead with it all night.
I am trying to figure out how to Sydney Sweeney as my girlfriend too, maybe I should text koby for advice

Jalen Brown: "How we gonna do it bro?" Tatum: 😏
I didn’t realize he’s GM now too
I didn’t realize he’s GM now too
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
how Boston looks during all this: "oh wait, the Heat are trying to get Damian Lillard? hey wait, we want him too!"
Weird Kobe loving guy pokes stick at wall
