Jayson Tatum stars in a new commercial for Superman
“But can he step up and be Superman?”
No.
“BANG Lex Luther has completed a 20 point comeback against Superman”
Need an edit with bald Bridges
Derek white is right there. Boston ain’t the good guys
Tatum is Bizarro confirmed.
BING BONG
“Hey Jayson do you want to be Superman to promo the movie, we’ll drop this maybe after game 2 of the second round when you’ll probably be up like 2-0 after 2 home games against some average team”
Your comment made me flinch with second hand embarrassment.
He did for one play at the end then flew away like a real hero at the end.😂
The only bucket he scored in two fourth quarters was a blown defensive coverage dunk.
Which involved one of the more blatant illegal back screens by Al Horford I’ve ever seen not called.
Andrew Bogut is smiling from above at that moving screen.
Andrew Bogut is very much alive, dude.
Him and Wade Boggs shared a chuckle in the great sports bar in the sky 🕊️
Also he would NOT be in heaven
Moving with both arms extended and his hands pushing into OG’s back. It looked like the philly tush push
That was the plan. They needed tatum to score fast
Yeah, so he had one easy dunk in two fourth quarters. It was a valuable bucket.
Let me rephrase this, he has not made a layup, floater, 3 pointer, or mid range shot in either of the fourth quarters.
The best players can get layups in the clutch. The best players score in every close game in the fourth. The best players don’t shrink when it matters most.
I watched an entire video analysing why Tatum can’t make layups yesterday. It was quite interesting but surprising for a “superstar”.
OG is his kryptonite 😅
People thought he was Superman but he’s actually Hancock.
If Tatum is Superman, who’s who on the Knicks?
Brunson as Brainiac?
OG as Darkseid?
Bridges as Lex Luthor?
Hart as Mister Mxyzptlk?
Thibs can be General Zod.
Robinson is that one huge guy with the beard that stands next Zod and never talks.
“Best I can do is Jimmy Olson”
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMM
horrible timing. He’s Superman in “Superman 2” where Clark gives up all his powers and then gets his shit kicked in by some rowdy drunks at a bar.
“He’s more Clark Kent than Superman”
Bro ain’t even Superboy, he’s Mon-El 💀
“I guess we’ll never know”
Can he step up and be a man child
Oh he’s due for a 50 point game in New York
damn, spoilers… looks like superman dies in this one
Superman attempts to use the same ineffective strategy several times to save the day, then just gives up and goes home
He weirdly yells “anything is possible” then just flies out.
He texts Batman first.
Superman Batman Antman Knicks in 4
Texts Batman “I got you” and then practices saying “we did it” in the mirror for an hour.
Nah, he’s not gonna die.
But he’ll definitely choke hard and let a bunch of civilians die
good one.
Lmfao no way this is real
The funniest fuckin thing was them waiting to drop this
Maybe they rushed the release in fear of him continuing to perform poorly 🤣, then they might have not released it at all.
Paul George’s ball game commercial can finally rest easy.
The Teague story with this is SO funny https://youtube.com/shorts/zS0V01h_jgQ?si=KB4TppcEVMAgmHJM
That shit is never getting topped — my partner has no interest in basketball and it’s still the funniest NBA reference they remember
Or maybe they dropped this after a shit stretch to farm engagements and meme potential
Honestly, I would’ve waited til the Celtics got knocked out
Waited for the pope first
I can’t tell if this is horrible timing or perfect timing.
This was “let’s at least run this a few times while he’s still in the playoffs” timing.
I don’t know why they dropped it online today but its been on TV for like 4 days now. I think I saw it for the first time on Sunday night during Warriors vs Rockets game 7.
Thought I was on circle jerk
lol it’s like the Shai Gilgeousaurus ad for the new Jurassic park movie.
“Superman is taking the day off”
😭😭😭
Meanwhile Tatum is having one of the worst playoff series of his career against the Knicks so far, timing just couldn’t be worse
Healthy teams are his kryptonite
Close games are his kryptonite.
Blowouts too apparently
Basketball is his kryptonite
Stuporman
The rim is his kryptonite
Reminds me of the Paul George “NO OT TONIGHT” Gatorade ad
What are you talking about? This timing is fucking beautiful LMAO
Mikal Bridges must be Lex Luthor
Big Head Brunson is Brainiac
Thibs is General Zod
Bighead Brunson is obviously Brainiac
Josh Hart Doomsday
OG is Darkseid
Nah, Josh Hart is Lobo.
Feels like that’s KAT with his Dominican heritage
Theres something about Tatum thats not very marketable
He has the personality of wet hay
He should stick to those sappy commercials like the generational wealth one
It’s not even his personality, it’s that he doesn’t take over games when it matters. He’s not the type of player that can force a basket when the team needs one. He relies on his teammates a lot. — which isn’t bad because it’s part of the game — but when we think of superstars, it means taking over the game and forcing the team to win by getting any bucket they want. Like LeBron, like Steph, like Jordan, like Kobe, and even like AI. Tatum does it within the flow of the offense, but most stars can get buckets on command against elite defenders.
Like Brunson
They can’t have Brunson in too many commercials because they don’t have cameras that can film his giant head appropriately.
It doesn’t help that he literally has no dialogue or even meant to show emotion in this commercial.
Also that Superman logo tank top looks like something you’d find in the kids section at Target.
It doesn’t even look like an S. Guessing it’s the same in the movie, but it looks like either a knockoff meant to evade copyright or an ai generated version
I still don’t really get why they changed it for the movie. It’s one of the most recognizable logos in the world.
If Fanatics made a superman costume
not letting him talk was a good business decision
It’s the fact that he is desperately trying to be extremely marketable at all times
He lacks charisma.
His public personality seems bland, much like Kawhi, men of a few words. They’re definitely no Anthony Edwards when it comes to sound bites. But both Tatum and Leonard have that championship basketball prowess, and that’s usually enough to score a few multi-million sponsorship deals.
Kawhi never tried to be something he isn’t, the way Tatum keeps trying to be.
Kawhi has a quiet mystique. Tatum is constantly going out of his way to try to look cool.
What do you mean, Kawhi Leonard is a fun guy. Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Kawhi has more personality than Tatum. He has 1000x more charisma than Tatum too.
Superman movie execs watching this commercial drop after approving Tatum to be the NBA face of the movie: 🤣🔫
James Gunn watching the 4th quarter last night
Time to reboot the DCEU again
I mean for them rhis might be better since much more memes/jokes etc.
This is hilarious. Also, does this mean that Shaq will hate him every day for the next 15 years and then induct him into the hall of fame?
nah because he isnt a big man
He also hates everyone that took something he feels is his (Nash’s MVPs and Dwight’s nickname come to mind).
Which extra ironic because he stole Nash’s show idea (also nowhere close to MVP in 2006)
very few things Shaq does appear to be irony than just hypocritical
which makes sense when you notice how much he sees others as beneath him
Hilarious timing
Why is the 14th best NBA player being recruited by Superman?
the other 13 were busy playing basket ball
Tatum used to the bench
brutal timing lol
Remember those “Playoff Tatum: It’s not a thing” commercials lmao
The timing is sublime
Shaq about to start hatin this dude
Why is the NBA pushing soooo hard for Tatum to be the face of the league? Is it because he’s a robot with no personality? Like he’s been groomed for this for 5 years
James Gunn and DC marketing chose him not NBA. He IS very marketable to most audiences not filled with NBA super fans. Looks the part unlike jokic or luka(superman physique), is uncontroversial and in a big market. Just unfortunate that he had a few bad games right before the trailer dropped.
Giannis is more marketable than tatum and he’s playstyle is really physical even shaq called him the superman of this era.
Jokic and Luka should be more relatable due to body if anything. The issue is that Tatum is American and they’re not, it’s that simple.
Gotta keep pushing him like Roman Reigns. Eventually the fans will come around 🙄
Building a legacy brick by brick
Even the Superman suit they gave him is lame.
Imagine Superman getting locked down by Mikal Bridges.
Super ass.
The answer is no. We are doomed!
That’s fuckin tragic timing 😂
We’ve seen Tatum be Clark Kent at least, on the bench. Mild mannered as fuck.
Same aura as clark kent
Glad we got that answered last night.
MikalblockingTatum.png
Mikal Bridges.♥️
Poor kid. Just devoid of personality.
Honestly? He should go full villain like Kobe. Kobe was just as boring, but he was an asshole who busted his ass and won. Tatum could pull that off. Being a dick is a decent substitute for having a personality.
As if copying kobe isn’t already one of the corniest parts of his persona
We’re all going to die if he’s Superman
Half man half a-missing
Damn the movie is gonna flop i guess
Can’t wait to watch it blow a box office lead
Clark Can’t
Dude is such a poser omfg.
Terrible timing by this marketing team lmao
“Superman’s taken the day off” after last night lmaoo
Cringe
This is the shittiest timing after the last two games against the Knicks…
Haliburton was lowkey right. Tatum and Embiid are 100% the most hated yet they’re so chill.
embiid is definitely not chill
Embiid gets hated for being foul baiting and being verbal, im pretty sure Tatum gets hates cause everything feels so forced. Opposite sides
The timing of this is fucking hilarious
Bros kryptonite is aura
they chose the worst time to debut this commercial LMFAO
But can he step into a wide open 3 and make it?😂😂
Bro was wearing a kryptonite jersey, of course he sucked.
Superman is my favorite fictional character ever by a large margin. I’m ridiculously hyped for the new Superman movie. Seeing my favorite player on my favorite team cross-promote Superman is literally a dream come true.
But… it kinda feels like I wished for this on a Monkey’s Paw and as a result I got the cross-promotion I wanted, but Tatum also had his worst playoff series ever during the promotional period.
Bro can’t even hold onto a 20 pt lead. So, No.
As a DC fan, please read the room. The new DC cinematic universe with Gunn has so much potential. I don’t want it tainted with Taintbum
Worst fucking ad for a movie I’ve ever seen.
First Superhero movie where the world actually ends
Very awkward timing if so…
Well that’s unfortunate timing.
No way they decided to release this now without any intention of trolling 😂
People saying bad timing, but I think they actually rushed this out because they were afraid the timing would only get worse
Bro can’t even step up and beat the Knicks
We did it ‼️‼️‼️
What they gonna say now?
Could this drop at a worst time?
Tatum turning into Playoff P right before our eyes.
lol this is so bad that it makes me not want to see the movie at all…
Back in my day Superman won at the end
JT is never beating the corny allegations
dude has negative rizz
Up, up and away to Cancun
Incredible timing
Timing is everything, lol.
At least his performances are making sense lore wise 😂
such bad timing . omg
Oh, this is horrible timing
The timing lol
Tatum tries to force himself into the upper echelon way too much.
They are trying so hard to make him seem cool, and it keeps doing the opposite
This is what they came up with to hype up James Gunn’s new Superman film.
Uh oh
nba is the greatest soap opera to exist
lol did Tatum really tank this reboot before it even got off the ground?
This could not have aired at a worse time for him Lmaooo
Oh hellll naw first thing Superman wouldn’t shoot threes. I hope shaq and dwiight say something about this. Tatum ain’t no Superman maybe like a green lantern.
If this commercial debuted today this might just be the worst timing ever 😂😂
LMFAOOO this is fucking hilarious.
What poor timing
*This* is why people hate Tatum.
… the jokes write themselves.
Oh no.
If this movie bombs I know who I’m blaming.
Jayson Tatum aka the gift that keeps on giving
Mikal Bridges is Superman father
Impeccable timing
Somewhere Shaq on a panel saying:
🗣️ there’s only one Superman
Playoff Jayson is not a thing
No OT Tonight v2.0
More like Su”BUM”an
He was clearly missing his prescription glasses on the floor.
Shaq “only one Superman” getting ready to attack Tatum as we speak
HE DID ITTTTTT!!!
I don’t know why I just watched this since I’ll probably see it 15 times tonight
Dudes missing every punch 😂
Everyone hating on Tatum is so giddy with themselves.
Superman texting Kobe rn
Either hilarious embarrassment if the series continues the same way as it had.
Or it’s the start of a great comeback story if they somehow pulled it out
Perfect timing
This is real r/agedlikemilk material.
Jason Tatum is the Superman of Aquamans
Bro is never beating the corny allegations.
