[Highlight] Jayson Tatum shakes his head after drilling his 3rd 4th quarter three. In the second half alone, he had 25 points on 7⁄9 from the field and 5⁄6 from three.
Did I miss Reggie saying something? Pritchard and Tatum seemed like they were mean mugging him half the game.
Well he compared Caitlin Clark to PP, that seems pretty disrespectful to an NBA 6MOTY and future finals MVP
Not sure why it’s being seen as a negative either way. Both are good ball players
You know why
I literally don’t! lol
male ego does not allow for any nuance in comparison. Calling PP similar to CC means that he is EXACTLY THE SAME PLAYER with the EXACT SAME SKILLS AND TOOLS and not just a similar (and quite complimentary) comparison as to the impact of their game on their respective teams and their respective leagues.
While male ego is a way to explain Pritchard being upset by it, Caitlin Clark was also upset and taken aback by Reggie’s comment. What’s the rationale there?
“Male ego” LOL
If we are comparing league to league, Caitlin Clark’s skill level in the WNBA is not comparable to Peyton Prichard’s skill level in the NBA
Pritchard dropped 92 in a random pro-am game a couple years ago, he might go for 150 against WNBA players
[deleted]
He’s basically doing the equivalent of the “if you adjust Mahomes’ stats to league averages” meme
It would be a layup line for him. I don’t think people can fathom how good nba players are. And I don’t mean that disrespectfully to the wnba, just pritchard has shown he dominates non nba pro players
Because Clark would be the worst player in the NBA by a mile. It’s disrespectful to NBA players to compare them to WNBA players.
Only weirdos would get insulted because they are being compared to a woman that’s elite in her sport.
Tom Brady would be ass in the NBA but no one would be insulted if you called them “the Tom Brady of Basketball”
Because you wouldn’t be comparing basketball skills to Tom Brady, obviously. You’d be comparing to his general sports success.
In this case it’s trying to compare PP to the skill set of a WNBA player. It’s insulting.
No its insulting cause they literally don’t play similar to each other and have very different roles on there teams, so comparing their play style means you dont actually watch either player. Its just cause they are both white shooters that the comp was made
Its not insulting just because she’s a woman. Cause you can compare the general basketball success between the men’s and women’s game. Esp in a case where the woman is as great as CC is
Idk what everyone is talking about but I was specifically talking about Clark being compared to Pritchard being an insult
That’s what Im talking about. Im saying its not disrespectful to PP just cause he’s a man and she’s a woman
No that’s not why it’s disrespectful. It’s disrespectful because they are two different leagues and have 2 different levels of skill relevant to their competition
It’s ok to say that they’re both good. The discourse is stupid
Yes they are both good. But you don’t compare the significantly better player in Pritchard to the significantly worse player in Clark any more than your compare LeBron James to a G Leaguer.
But it’s not true. If there was a G-leaguer who played 23 seasons and owned every record, that guy’s getting compared to Lebron every time someone talks about him. There’s just no doubt about that.
Same principle here, it’s fine and normal and not confusing for rational people to compare players across different skill tiers or genders or even fucking animal species. Nobody with more than two brain cells thinks you’re trying to say they have literally identical skill levels
Pritchard nick name is PP?
Jesus
I love PP
Fast pp.
No that’s disrespectful to CC. She’s the GOAT of women’s basketball.
Maybe one day, what has she done in the W?
Brother the value of the league has like 3x’ed since she came in. Every single WNBA player should be kissing her feet instead of dissing her like they always do.
Lmao. Being the most popular player in the league doesn’t make her the GOAT. That’s not how this has ever worked man. Let’s be serious
You literally asked “what has she done?” I told you what she’s done.
Being the GOAT does not mean being the most popular
Give it time obviously but she’s clearly heading there.
She got all the players a 400% pay raise for starters though.
Popularity =/= GOAT. Like, what are we even talking about here?
Edit: Also, if she doesn’t win MVP/a title this year she will literally not be on pace for GOAT convos
Meh, she hasn’t seemed to adjust to the pace and physicality of the WNBA yet. When her shot is falling she looks great, but it hasn’t been since the start of her rookie year. She shot .367/.279/.820 last year over her 13 games played
She was injured last year and played like 10 games
Dang so she has durability concerns too?
if you count 1 injury after getting no significant rest for like 2 years straight as concerning sure
Headed there and there are two completely different things.
Oh right and everyone says PP is on track to be the GOAT of men’s basketball…
Stop wasting my time
It’s actually a very good comp in play style
They don’t play anything alike other than deep threes. Caitlin is a Trey Young prototype
CC really came into the league and broke basically all possible WNBA assist records as a rookie just for people to say she plays just like a guy who doesnt pass at all lol
its so weird
I think Young is another good comp and does a better job illustrating her passing. But the way they navigate around the lane and shoot is very similar. Their scoring games are a very good comp, the passing is more Young.
Negative its Aja Wilson buddy
That’s disrespectful to A’Ja, Cynthia Cooper, Cheryl Miller, etc
She’s got a loooooooong way to go to get to GOAT status, it’s like calling Wemby the NBA GOAT already.
No she’s not lol
payton talked about it after said reggie was his guy just like talking smack
I for one am loving the Jayson Tatum redemption arc. My guy was unjustly hated on for years. Hope they get back to The Finals for a banger series with OKC.
Some would hate to admit it but SGA vs the Jays would be an amazing matchup for 7 games
Tatum has been averaging 25/9/9 almost so far, honestly been a top 3 player in the playoffs so far
Easily top 2 this playoffs!
Reggie is a perennial Celtics hater, these boys do not respect him lol
the Jays were cold in the first half, and the rest of the team carried them. the rest of the team went cold in the second half, and the Jays closed it out.
also Payton Pritchard was there the whole time
Lol did Reggie Miller say some shit before tonight’s game?
Tatum was like 1 for 7 from 3 early on… what a turnaround
PULL UP SHOOT
Insane that he is still elite as ever after coming off an Achilles tear.
It’s been a steady improvement with each game since coming back. It’s cool to see that it isn’t the career shattering injury it once was, the medical field is getting better at treating it. I have no doubts that it’s due to him getting surgery the same day.
Did I miss something between them? That didn’t look like a normal reaction
Every day he gets more, and more comfortable on the court. He’s improved a little every game since coming back, glad to see him on the court again.
He’s trying so hard to be Kobe
Saying “he’s trying so hard to be Kobe” and it’s just a video of him being good at basketball lmao
JT makes a contested shot: “he just wants to be like Kobe”
JT misses a contested shot: “he just wants to be like Kobe”
Shooting basketball into hoop
You’re cringe af. I bet you talk more about Kobe than Tatum does
