Rob Parker - Jayson Tatum Should Pass on 2028 Olympics After Disrespectful Lack of Minutes

THE ODD COUPLE - Rob Parker & Martin Weiss debate if the 2024 Olympic coaches did s disservice to Jayson Tatum due to the lack of minutes he had in multiple games.

Steph struggled for four games straight and Kerr STILL found minutes for him. Stop the bullshit

[TradeswithChinedu]

Tatum didn’t hit a jump shot all Olympics 😂

Nobody is talking about Tatum playing minutes over Lebron and KD, we are talking about 0 mins. What is this guy talking about???

[scenerecapped]

The objective was to win a gold medal not to make sure tatum get minutes

[louisdorsey]

Rob Parker was hoping that the USA team would have lost but since they won the gold he is got to find something to complain about.

[samsonclemens]

The cover called him “JAYLEN” Tatum 😂😂😂

Why does everything have to be controversial? We won. It was an amazing Olympics.

Disrespectful? They let him play 20min against Brazil and he scored 5 points. 9 players scored more points than him, 7 played less time than him, two played 21min, only 1 min more/basically the same time and all the other 7 played less. He's barely the 10th best player on the team. They shouldn't let him join the team for the next olympics, he's a liability.

Rob Parker is spitting facts. Tatum got benched for Bam Adebayo

[mrpete]

Complaining about a gold medal winning team is crazy 😂

[atlien]

Tatum got a DNP in a game where we were thumping a team by like 30 points, meanwhile I'm watching LeBron, Steph, & etc padding their stats in garbage time.

Against Serbia we were down 17 points as we were getting shot & outhustled for much of the game & Kerr couldn't find any time to bring him off the bench lol.

Martin is all cap. LeBron, Steph, & KD would've never gotten disrespected like that. Steph had a game where he went 1/9 and was a bust on defense, yet Kerr made sure to keep him the game 😂.

“The goal was to win gold, not make Tatum happy”

So if they give Tatum min that would cost team USA the gold? Really?

[jeffreychan]

“He was 0 for 16.”
Rob: “What does that mean?”

[BigginsInAmerica]

Player plays in the Olympics and gets hurt, media says they shouldn't play next Olympics.
Player goes to the Olympics and doesn't play, media says they shouldn't play next Olympics.

[trewhite]

If I'm Tatum, I would never play for them again!!! There was absolutely NO excuse for this!! I repeat there is NO basketball reason for this!

[JhonnyTriano]

Get this clown out of here. He's trying to defend, screwing over Tatum and is failing miserably. Tatum needed more minutes to get ready for next Olympics in 4 years

[trewhite]

He wasn't playing behind Bron and KD ! It was Derrick White

[kyleelpel]

Starters:
Curry - 30 min
Booker - 25 min
Lebron - 30 min
Durant - 25 min
Embiid - 10 min

Bench:
Edwards - 20 min
Davis - 20 min
Bam - 10 min

Remaining minutes: 40 minutes:
Holiday - 20 min
Tatum - 20 min

Bench - White & Haliburton.

Not that hard to find at least 10 minutes per game for Tatum

[TrueJubalee]

Both Tatum and Brown needs to torch the Warriors the next time they play them.
And if I’m Tatum or Brown every time I make a shot a dunk or a block I’m a look right at Steve Kerr!😅

[eddsuperstar]

USA Basketball took a man across the world to embarrass him on international TV. Why even invite him if you already have your team. We wouldn't even be having this argument.
