And he has a chip so don’t think all of these numbers are for nothing. Remember they want it last year and they’re going to win it again this year.

How fucking strong is that?🏋🏻🏋🏻🏋🏻🏋🏻

Statistics should always be contextualizes

bshev.bsky.social•4 days ago

Comparing individuals to teams is bad statistics. Who else had more than 54 playoff wins during that period? JB (66) and Horford (60). Seems relevant, no? Also, raw number is just silly - you can find a 4 year period where Mario Chalmers does better than any Tatum 4-year run

Thank you.

Seems impressive but with only 1 Championship it seems like it would be better to have a lower playoff game win to championship ring ratio.

Jayson Tatum is one of the most underrated players in the NBA. The Celtics wouldn’t have won the championship without him.

silenthugofdoom.bsky.social•4 days ago

Still not impressive

arushiirl.bsky.social•4 days ago

whatever will he do without your approval

silenthugofdoom.bsky.social•3 days ago

you sound pretty smart, but not enough to be able to understand the difference between approving something from being impressed 🤷

satanicpandick.bsky.social•3 days ago

So clearly now he needs to demand a trade so he can pass the Celtics too

In the age of 3 pointers. Absolutely.

andyslp.bsky.social•4 days ago

He’s played for the Celtics his whole career, of course he (his team) has more wins than every other franchise

And as many rings as the Dubs and Nugs

fridaynitespecial.bsky.social•4 days ago

Warriors?

tbonelee.bsky.social•4 days ago

Dubs have 2 to his 1 since '18.

unikornet.bsky.social•4 days ago

Uhhhhh… nope. Warriors only have one since he was drafted (22). The 2018-19 year was the Raptors

tbonelee.bsky.social•4 days ago

Wrong. Tatum first played in the playoffs in 2018 as a rookie. His first playoff game was on April 15, 2018, against the Milwaukee Bucks. He was 3rd overall pick in the ‘17 Draft. Look it up.

buddhacant.bsky.social•4 days ago

What does “since 2018” mean?

tbonelee.bsky.social•4 days ago

And being that 2018 was Tatum’s first NBA season, such would be the case

tbonelee.bsky.social•4 days ago

Since includes listed date, like a business establishment date, ‘Since 2018,’ as I know it.

What kind of rings? Onion rings?

therealkl.bsky.social•4 days ago

Too bad about the win shortfall in ‘22. Glad that he rode the bench and let the adults play (and win) in Paris last summer too.

justrin.bsky.social•4 days ago

Now do career playoff wins.
You know, like Lebron's 148, or Steph's 101.

jaxbbax.bsky.social•4 days ago

Right? 7 years, 1 measly championship...

Curry had a stretch there 4 chips in 5 years...

brilliantguru2734.bsky.social•3 days ago

They literally have the same results in their 1st 7 years. 1 title each. Cherry picking stats when one guy is finishing his career and the other is in the middle is dumb.

Will never understand why there's so much Tatum hate?

zazzyzazz.bsky.social•3 days ago

He’s corny. That’s it.

satanicpandick.bsky.social•3 days ago

Lakers and Warriors fans famously hate when the entire world doesn't revolve around them

verysleepyfox.bsky.social•3 days ago

and boston fans dont? big market fans are always like that. tbh i think the Celtics are kind of a boring team to watch and Jayson’s just kinda corny lmao

satanicpandick.bsky.social•3 days ago

Ok, but seriously though Warriors and especially Lakers fans are worse

(Warriors fans will get better once Steph retires and they go back to being the Kings big brother. Lakers fans... That shit is terminal)

verysleepyfox.bsky.social•3 days ago

what are you trying to argue here? we’re talking about Jayson being overhated, not which team’s fans are the worst lmao

verysleepyfox.bsky.social•3 days ago

its not just Lakers and Warriors fans who think that, I’m a Blazers fan and I think Jayson is just boring

satanicpandick.bsky.social•3 days ago

I'm arguing that him being an elite player on the Celtics is WHY he's hated and that hate is loudest from the 2 fanbases I acknowledged.

Boston sports fans overall do also tend to be among the worst, I will concede that you're right about that.
