  • “Yo, pass me the Gatorade bottle”- Derrick White to Jayson Tatum 4 times yesterday 😂
  • @TheRealMichaelP
    ESPN y’al still ain’t stoping Perc from huffing and puffing while people try and talk
  • Team USA is so stacked with talent that Tatum has to fetch towels for Ant
  • Kendrick Perkins is the same person that wanted Tatum traded and wanted to split up the Celtics
  • @brothaghost6554
    Tbh i don’t care about who plays. At the end of the day as long as we get the dub
  • @thekingbradable
    Why is Kendrick still allowed to speak on anything Celtics related?
  • @Mo13uckets
    Y’all talking about how Tatum is going to feel. Nobody cares about your feelings, it’s about winning and the team won by 20
  • @Anthony-yd2we
    Perk do some cardio so you ain’t breathing so hard on the mic
  • @Mia-elf1
    Perkins was a 7 footer that could barely make his layups so I can never respect his opinion .
  • @ISOkeem13
    Seems like Perks feelings hurt more than anything. Tatum took it well, and it didn’t seem like he was too upset about it. He was always happy and cheering from WE can see. Just because some stars get mad about it doesn’t mean they all do
  • @pawyork7681
    What’s worse Jayson Tatum not playing or us losing against Sudan ???😅😂😅😂😂 the media tries to create controversy out of anything nowadays
  • @tylerhays3872
    This is so dumb. It's the Olympics. There's no egos in this. Gold is the mission. Is anyone really questioning Steve Kerr's game plan? He's going to put out the best lineups for each game.
  • @Aaron1234487
    How is it an embarrassment? Is Tatum bigger than the team? Perk trying to start something that's non-existent.
  • Everyone is mad at Kerr for sitting Tatum. Unfortunately nobody cares about Tyrese who has 0 minute even since Team USA vs Germany in pre-Olympics tune-up. Can you imagine a player who leads NBA in assist per game ( 10.9 ) but only a bench warmer while nobody yells at Kerr about it ? Team USA won with a lopsided score yet people still have something to cry about. The most important thing is win. It doesn't matter who plays and who have hot hands, either . Surely, Tatum and Tyrese will have minutes to play next games.
  • @mikejames4910
    Windy: making complete sense Perk (breathing): hmmmm aaaggghhhh
  • Won by 24 without him. Why is this such a big deal? Why do we need to feed this guys ego, just so his feelings dont get hurt?
  • @justinlong5589
    Steve Kerr just signed his death wish watch Tatum drop 50 on the Warriors next year he keeps his receipts JB will be motivated as well for not even making the team!!
