Malika Andrews Shocks Richard Jefferson "Jayson Tatum's NOT A Superstar!" NBA Today ESPN Celtics

i'm a stickler when it comes to the superstar i don't think yeah i think that it's like a very very rare error and so there's a whole bunch of players that are knocking on the door of superstardom but to me you have to check off the box of not only your play which i think by the way jason that's where it comes from that's when you started to get this sentiment it's because you are playing sir like a superstar so hats off to you but it's butts and seats it's casual fan uh appreciation i think all of that goes into superstar which for me is why it's like steph lebron kevin durant giannis and nicola yokitch knocking on that door potentially and then to me it's like embiid's not a superstar embiid i mean superstar what are we doing here like what what's going on like jason tatum was first team all-nba he's the best player on the finals team he scored 47 points against the milwaukee bucks on the road thank you with their season on the line i don't know what the rubric is for superstar i need a spreadsheet i got you for all your different categories jason tatum's a superstar he's not knocking on the door knocking on the door then they're like oh please let me in jason tatum has the key to the door he's a top 10 player in the nba he's a superstar done he's they're in the finals one one what are we doing what's happening here i'm with zach i'm zach well so here's my my thing the other thing about superstar i'm not gonna i'm not gonna get my here's what jason's did you hear that my other thing about it is it's the longevity it's doing it over time and so there are people who are superstars in moments and then there are other players who have earned the moniker i'm thinking of a kevin durant for example of superstar kind of no matter what he does for the rest of his career lebron james because of his play up until this point nah she's thinking of current players that are hall of famers not current superstars they're different jason tatum could and will get there i'm i'm not arguing that i'm just saying like that it's it's a complicated it's i will give you it's not that complicated actually in my notes before we go before our ears perked up and we started talking about this was the inconsistency of jason tatum i don't think though that superstars somehow are not allowed or broken however you want to say it aren't allowed to have inconsistent games so they are you just made their point we're talking about the jays by the way i hate the nickname the jays for this really and like how they they don't they haven't scored 25 together in one game and inconsistency well they actually did in the eastern conversation whatever it is whatever it is janae okay um can we just talk about what's what they've faced the bucks are the number one defense in the playoffs absolutely the heat were the number four defense in the regular season the warriors were the number two defensive legacies like scoring 25 points in a game is hard being consistent against those teams is hard like the defense this is like the hardest basketball gets right now that's why fewer and fewer players can get on the floor right that's why i don't think he's inconsistent i don't think he's inconsistent he had an off night and to say he's inconsistent implies that the other team wasn't responsible for that and great players what they typically do is they see how they were affected did they shoot too much from the perimeter did they not attack too much did they get in foul trouble what was my mentality and so we've seen every single time he's had a subpar game for him he has shown up because he's gotten better so i think to say that he's inconsistent you're not really watching the game and you're taking away credit from the teams that have actually done a good job defending him one game out of seven you know out of six uh seven games before two games here in this series you're allowed that because just like a team can have an off night you can figure it out and figure out how to be aggressive moving forward one part of that is because in a seven game series there are so many adjustments that are made it almost sounded like she agreed with them at the end there malika's point was that super stardom is for the very few but richard jefferson and zach lowe were right jayson tatum is one of those few it's not just the guys like lebron or kd or giannis those guys are all-time greats those are future hall of famers just because you're a future hall of famer doesn't mean you're a superstar and vice versa even with jason tatum's inconsistency he is still a superstar like zach lowe said he is first team all-nba he got his team to the finals and a few bad games here there does not change that just like when steph was inconsistent in his first finals no one ever questioned whether or not he was a superstar they just questioned his place on the all-time great list or as a top current player and even in tatum's bad games he still finds ways to contribute he had 13 assists in game one so even when he's not shooting well he opens up the floor for other guys because they're so worried about what he will do and what he's capable of it's the same thing with steph lebron and giannis but let me know in the comments is jason tatum a superstar and that is all i have for this video leave a like if you enjoyed it and subscribe for more nba
