The Celtics are 0-2 against the Knicks, so Tatum is catching quite a lot of heat. Nick Wright stacked up Jason’s hilarious NBA comparisons using Kobe Bryant and Paul George.
The Boston Celtics gave up their second straight 20-point lead to allow the New York Knicks to win Game 2 in Boston. The team heads for New York 0-2 and is fighting for the season.
Jason Tatum has been heavily criticized since his latest loss. Kendrick Perkins called out one of his flaws and told him to stop him.
The former Knicks star claims that Tatum’s performance is very concerned, and the chorus is moving forward to everything at the age of 27 for his performance.
Nick Wright is just as creative as an NBA analyst. His wild taste is very hilarious, with Kobe Bryant involved, one of JT’s biggest idols.
It has become a trend in the NBA to describe players by suggesting that they are better or worse versions of other stars.
Tatum is a polarizing superstar. He has, of course, won some of these. But Nick Wright’s comparisons may be the best in many ways.
“Jason Tatum is Paul Georges’ Kobe Bryant,” Wright said.
“He’s the best Paul George I’ve seen. He wants to be Kobe. He’s better than Paul George, so he’s Kobe Bryant…
“I really don’t believe you’re dunking with LeBron (James). I don’t trust you in the game on the line. Sorry, it’s a Gatorade commercial or not.”
Some may think this is a tough take for the NBA champions. However, it seems mild when Tatum’s stats for the first two games of the Eastern Conference semifinals are considered.
Jason only scored 36 points in both games combined. And while his average 15 rebounds of his game look good, they’re completely offset by his horrifying split of fire.
JT achieved just 12 field goals on 42 attempts, less than 30% off the field. His numbers from the three-point line are even more vicious. He made only 5 out of 20 at 25%.
Game 3 is a must-see for Boston. Down 3-0 never made a comeback to any team in NBA history. If he doesn’t want to exacerbate online slander, Tatum desperately needs a statement game.
