    The gaslighting of the media is crazy - YOU are the ones that created the criticism! This is absolutely wild, lol.
  • @joeymanny
    Critics? the only critics is you ESPN, us fans doesnt really care if Tatum doesnt get that FMVP, he is a great integral part of the celtics success and they will never win anything without JT same as JB
  • @Tone_M0NTANA
    I've seen Tatum score 46 points against Giannis, 50 points against Kevin Durant, and 51 points against Joel Embiid all in playoff games and people are still questioning whether or not he's a top 5 player even though he's been 1st team All-NBA for 3 consecutive seasons

    8:58 FALSE 🚨 Celtics are 9-3 against the Lakers in NBA Finals matchups , not 7-3 ..
  • @BigSoppo
    Tatum has to celebrate as much as he wants. Many great players never won this trophy. He had a good performance enough to ensure a win in 5 games. The trophy ensures his HOF vote. Keep holding Mr. Tatum!!
  • So now finals appearances matter Stephen a? Come on man stay consistent
  • @ElzRayEks
    SAS said the Lakers are the best or greatest franchise in basketball, because they have more finals appearances than the Celtics. On the other hand, he said Lebron isn't the Goat over Jordan, even though; he has more finals appearances than Jordan. I'm a Jordan fan, but I'm just calling him out on his logic or inconsistency.
  • @mojomogul
    It's not a Mad Dog segment until he mentions Bob Cousy
  • @ItzDeshawn
    What Steven a said is literally what you can say in a Lebron vs Jordan debate 🤦🏾😂
  • @cvgodd1432
    Respect Haslem for giving Jt his flowers! Dude was balling out!
  • SAS’ argument for the Lakers being > Boston should be the same argument that he should make for LBJ being > than MJ 👀👀👀🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
  • @PalpitoMcCray
    ESPN is mad salty that Tatum and Brown were able to block out the years of noise around them and stay together for a championship. And they've won it at an extremely young age at that. Didn't have to go ring shopping like LeBron did multiple times.
  • @hunter_756
    boston is 18/23 in nba finals, thats crazy!
  • @norfpoe777
    Yea talk that tatum talk.. 46 and 51... They forget his greatness
  • @Pango445
    Thank you Steven A. but u should have rephrased it to “The Lakers have 9 more Finals LOSSES* than the Celtics” would’ve been more accurate
