“Jayson Tatum ain’t even 28. The man has been to 5 conference finals, 2 NBA finals, and has been 1st team All-NBA for the last 3 years. In the process, he swept KD one of those years and is the reigning, defending NBA champion who just finished averaging nearly 27 points per game. He was the second-best player to Kevin Durant in the games in Tokyo. And before you even go out for warm-ups, you’re letting him know, ‘We got 10 players. We gonna play before you. We might not get to you.’ You have any idea how insulting that is?”

Ignoring this situation. I feel like NBA fans completely forget how badly Tatum outplayed KD in that sweep. We haven’t seen anyone guard KD that well before in a while. And then Tatum was just going nuclear on offense every game.
