Team USA basketball won their first game at the 2024 Olympics against Nikola Jokic and Serbia... but Celtics star Jayson Tatum didn't play a single minute.

That photo is super misleading. JT was clapping and smiling on the sideline quite a bit. I think he understands how that everyone gets their shot to play when it's the right team and time.

Tatum couldn't play any worse than Embiid did, team was -8 with Embiid on the floor and looked even worse than that watching.

Man, JT and JB are gonna be so motivated again next year.

[michaellarue]

Surprised a little by the content of this. The title made it seem like this was going to be a Tatum bashing video. I’m really glad it wasnt and was a more objective affair. Great job

[Jorah]

Man, Kerr has the most idiotic answers for the media:
"Oops, I forgot I have Tatum on the team, sorry guys, will play him next game"
"I haven't seen Green punching the living hell out of Poole, will have to check the tape"
Is anybody buying this garbage?

[joeford]

Worst part is Tatum was being clowned for this...

Remember that he played in Team USA for a long time and was a key contributor...

[SuperShadowify]

as a heat fan it i’m just happy to see bam getting meaningful minutes

Tatum finding out he's the Tobias Harris of star players

[mckeoncrawford]

Such divas. It's a team game for the country. Why should Steve Kerr care about anything other than what's best for Team USA and winning a medal?

[micahbrunet]

Derrick White has been balling so far, so I don’t have any issues with him getting picked

[ghoulape]

Doing Tatum for being a solid teammate on an Olympic Team is crazy. He cheered his team on and never acted unprofessional. He won a gold medal and just won a title as one of the main players on that team. Great season. 🏅🏆🍀

[blablablaa]

The funny part is that on the Hoop Collective they said this could be the summer of Tatum a few months ago. He could win the title, win finals MVP, then go on to win the olympics in a vital role for team USA. Instead what happened is that he failed in the finals and had to be rescued, didn't win finals MVP, then in the olympics he's a bench warmer, and that wont change. This all proves Tatum is just a number 2 in a world of number 1s

[marcuswendt]

Media just mad that Tatum don’t get them stuff to write about because he is humble and a respectable role model bro didn’t get mad because he sat chill

[Jbf-]

Knowing this channel, I was kind of surprised by the video title. Then, the content was as expected. Top tier. This channel is so underrated.

One game does not make a series. Let players rest when possible.

Jayson Tatum blinks
NBA Twitter: “Jayson Tatum sucks and he’s corny and he’s carried by his super team and he’s a bum he’s so overrated and trash”

[benwatson]

There is no reason - imo - for Tatum to not play... he is the easiest player in the league to fit into any system and with all the guards on this team we could use some more forward minutes

[Seanykins]

Yall just hate Jason Tatum he’s a beast! Averaged 31.2 ppg in the playoffs. So I don’t know why yall saying this.

[schmidtytime]

What’s an important thing to remember about the Olympics is that point differential is a huge factor. These teams will play their best lineups until the final buzzer (Not saying Tatum isn’t apart of the lineup), it adds a bit more strategy to the game. If Serbia blows out the other two teams in their group, while the U.S. team struggles, it’ll be a lot closer than we realize

Bam just put up 18 pts and 7 rebs, Tatum his good friend put up 4pts. Bam led the team in scoring and did so off the bench.
