It’s lame. People are just piling on because he’s an easy target now. Making variations of the same joke over and over for a few Internet likes.This “negative aura” thing has broken Tatum discourse and made the hate for him at an all time high
Why?Real talk though Tatum should be playing.
Because his parents paid their $1500 on April 1 just like the rest of the parents.Why?
I’ve been repped several timesIt’s lame. People are just piling on because he’s an easy target now. Making variations of the same joke over and over for a few Internet likes.

But
Someone that doesn't act like a typical media member chimes in
I agree, if Tatum is the missing piece for gold then the team has serious issues elsewhere. It’s more so disrespectful. He’s a plug & play guy and you give him a DNP-CD. Obviously he’s been struggling, but again, it’s a matter of respectTatum isn't better than Bron or KD in FIBA for this team in a three week sprint and Bam playing PF is eating into possible minutes. If Booker is making his catch and shoot threes and playing tough defense like today, the minutes will be even harder to come by.
Don't think Kerr will DNP him the rest of the way, but I think Kerr *could* get away with it.
Biggest surprise of the team. Gotta tip your hat.S/O Book for doing the dirty work on defense and just spotting up on offense.
He brought that on himself. He has to deal with it. He isn't a victim. (Not saying you are saying he is)It’s lame. People are just piling on because he’s an easy target now. Making variations of the same joke over and over for a few Internet likes.
Yea, he is playing behind 2 of the Top 5 of all time at his position. I would argue deep down inside he isn't really mad at anything other than the embarrassment of the whole thing.His NBA accolades mean what in FIBA? the guy that took his minutes is one of the goats and he made his first 8 shots. Tatum hasn’t made a 3 and is clearly struggling in a lesser role. I get he’s Jayson Tatum but we ain’t wearing green. So why does he deserve minutes if he’s not making shots and he’s not making plays?
This ain’t daycare
I don’t see how it’s all that embarrassing. It happens man. He hasn’t been playing well and hasn’t been shooting well for months.Yea, he is playing behind 2 of the Top 5 of all time at his position.

Have to assume that Embiid was legitimately guaranteed either a starting spot or some level of minutes to get him to play for the team/not play for France. He looks like a domestic basketball terrorist out there.I agree, if Tatum is the missing piece for gold then the team has serious issues elsewhere. It’s more so disrespectful.

They’re showing much more respect to a guy like Embiid, but I’m sure there’s something else going on there.

Especially when the other guys at his position are soon to be Olympic Kevin Durant and LeImmortal James , it's not some big slight at all.I'm so confused by the Tatum crying. I think we saw this playoffs that he's not really that guy (he never has been) and the U.S. won by 20+ points. When you have a bunch of stars on the court, you need role players around them and that's why Dwhite is playing.
Tatum is a ball-holder, and that's not really what this team needs. The outcry over this is bizarre.

its travel season boysBecause his parents paid their $1500 on April 1 just like the rest of the parents.

He had a big role in Tokyo but his is a very different squad dynamic with the heavy hitters having one last dance, he'll be fine.
Gonna be one of the leaders in LA '28
Good point about Kawhi.I don’t see how it’s all that embarrassing. It happens man. He hasn’t been playing well and hasn’t been shooting well for months.
He probably would have really been glued to the bench if Kawhi didn’t get sent home but they don’t want to talk about that, Matt.
Yeah, I don’t feel sorry for Tatum. Team USA expects to win gold. Tatum wasn’t playing well and the team didn’t look good when he was out there. Team is full of great players besides him. I have no problem when Kerr DNPing him. I don’t think anyone on the team is entitled to minutes of they’re not playing well.He brought that on himself. He has to deal with it. He isn't a victim. (Not saying you are saying he is)
I feel you but he makes it so easy to clown him though. He almost asks for it. (Not talking about the benching but the goofy Kobe references and various quotes of others)But I’m also not a fan of lazy, obvious comedy.
