[Highlight] Jaylen Brown hits Jayson Tatum with the “Too Small” celly on back to back possessions during the 2023 All Star Game.
Analytically, JT actually won these possessions
Yeah if you calculate this scenario a million times, JB actually scored on the wrong basket both times and he’s really a negative value to his team.
Did you not see Paul George in those possessions?
JT actually won the game and got MVP with 55 points. But I’m sure Brown felt like he son cause he scored buckets on Tatum.
We should’ve seen the signs, the animosity on display here is disturbing
The sheer rage is shocking
The signs we did see are that JB is a better player
Tatum dropped an all-star game record 55pts in this game
The game is more than just scoring
I’d take Tatum to put a roster around anyday
Also, even if we’re going by scoring Tatum set an all star game record with 55 points this game and was all star MVP. So yeah, talking about these two plays where Tatum didn’t even really try to contest is hilarious.
Yeah, if you ignore literally all the stats that say otherwise he is.

They were clearly fueled by their raging hatred for each other
Why are you disturbed?
It reminds me of how the other kids in high school used to call me ‘baby smurf’ and pat my head because of my height.
Nah, that’s cause you’re blue, drinking too much silver as a kid
that’s why I only drink a little silver
It’s normal for friends to tease each other profusely you being too sensitive.
You really can’t see the sarcasm?
Reddit is filled with pussies it tough to know if that sarcasm or not in that spot.
No, that was as obvious as it gets. Don’t trash other people because you need a /s.
Il trash who I please 🗑️ can
Sarcasm?
No, he wants him fucking dead
There’s no /s, I’m worried for Tatum’s life, don’t do it JB
This is all I need Jay>Jay.
Get rid of the All-Star Game and do a one-on-one tournament of all-stars.
I’d watch every second.
I absolutely agree, but no one would want to play. Egos are all way too big for that, which is somewhat understandable.
They’d all hurt themselves. So many are so worried about damaging their brand.
Which is exactly why none of them would play lol it wouldn’t be possible to have a 1v1 tourney in the laid-back style of the ASG
Honestly I would still watch that over the ASG even if they weren’t trying. Also it only takes one guy to start kinda trying to bring out the competitiveness
It was competitive this year. Wemby played hard so others did too.
No dunk horse
Exciting bench players, rookie and sophomore players could be interested. Do it by weight class. Shit having backup centers go against each other would be sick, everyone knows what they can do in offseason runs. How about when you have the full iso greenlight?
People always say the event depends on stars participating. I completely disagree. Yeah it would be cool. Watching anyone in the NBA play 1v1s in a mini tournament format would be the best, highest quality 1v1 tournament ever put together.
There would be 1 or 2 that would play and then look kinda bad to dodge it. Which would make for profitable engagement drama for the league.
One posterization and it’s shut down
People always say that, but i dont see it.
Isn’t it the opposite of ego?
Maybe a random three on three tournament with something big on the line
1 v 1 bracket style
A 1v1 tournament between all-stars sounds really interesting concept for the all star weekend.
‘Nuff said😤
wait how did jaylen pull off the too small twice
exposure therapy
Sorry bro. Least you got a chip out of it!
And it was a nice chip to prove all the “Jays can’t win together” haters wrong
They just needed every team they faced to have their star missing
I wish him all the best but those are dangerous words for someone whose team just traded for GA.
The Heat also beat Bucks teams where Fiannis missed one or two of those games
Just as much as Giannis did in 2021 and the Heat in 2023 and 2021 vs the Bucks lol
Every team was missing their star tf are you talking about
Luka played all 5 games lol. You must be blind.
But now you have playoff p, the most analytically sound trade asset of all time. How exciting!
PG thoooooo😅
Analytically speaking, Brown’s defense and offense actually was better than Tatum’s here. If you look at the stats, Brown scored 2 times to Tatum’s 0 times and notched 1 steal
We can’t score that as a steal. It went OB. That’s a deflection at best but there must be a metric that backs up my SHNORPS
Tatum let him shoot 😂😂😂
Not the second time
He barely contested
yeah cuz he’s too small
i’m beginning to think these all star games don’t feature much defensive effort!
Analytics this, CBA that, Aprons and Mid-Level exceptions etc…
Man sometimes we forget basketball is so fun and beautiful, like come on i dont care if by “playoff normalized LEBRONETTE per 36 possessions” JB isn’t that good, this duo was so fun and a testament to work ethic. I’m sad to see it go
Agreed. It was fun to watch them play together and they were the key’s to Boston’s success for the better part of the last decade. All those duo records they were racking up and chasing together, and its gone in a flash. Will be weird to adjust to watching a Celtics team that doesn’t have JB on it.
Most successful duo of the parity era by a mile, both still in their prime and the Celtics blew it up. Absolute clown show. I don’t wanna hear the money excuse either you pay Tatum and Brown and do the best you can building on the margins and roll the dice. Now with PG, you have accepted mediocrity
Any analytics that make Brown bad or the 7th most valuable player on the Celtics needs work.
my small forward <33
Honestly if this causes the celtics to fall off for half a decade he’s the league’s small forward
It won’t.
I hate you
And he was the 7th best player on that All Star team.
That’s when Tatum put in the trade request lol
I miss him already
7
This is gonna be absolute cinema
That’s cool but Tatum is a much better basketball player than Jaylen.
Analytically speaking Jaylen brown isn’t even the 7th best basketball player on his team
4x All-NBA First Team vs 0x All-NBA First Team
2 Achilles vs 1 Achilles
I know this a joke but the fact JT came back from an achilles injury and was imediately better than JB really says it all
Damn dude
2 children vs 1 Twitch chat
Fuck them kids wtf lol
Wild that Iguodala was better than Steph until ‘22. Guess they’re equals now
I mean who would you rather want to take the last shot with universe on the line?
Biggest myth in Basketball.
Tatum is a better player, but it’s not by “much” anymore IMO.
Tough to tell what Tatum is right now. Probably won’t know until the second half of this season
Remind me: Who won Finals MVP in 2024?
Iguodala is better than Steph. Cedric Maxwell is better than Bird.
Are you saying jb is merely a role player who had a good series 🤔
No but Tatum should have clearly won FMVP.
Tatum played like garbage. What the heck are you smoking? LMAO!
It was also extremely PATHETIC the amount of times the team TRIED DESPERATELY to have Tatum stay out there to stat pad when the team was either up or down 15 -18 in the final minutes. But because Tatum is a fraud, that didn’t even work because he was too garbage to pull it off LMAO!
Jaylen Brown won that and fully deserved it fair and square. For you to compared Iggy shows both your bias and lack of IQ.
This but unironically
Boomed him twice
Three times imo
thats where the rift started
They got a championship out of the tenure. No one can dog the Celtics. It worked
You’re weird for not showing Tatum scoring on him the next possession
This was cute.
Is Jason Tatum about to be exposed??
That 3 was so cold lmao
Is this gonna be their first game of the season or Christmas game?
This matchup was the best part of that all star game too.
Now it’s just saddening
Egregious AF
Bruv, it’s just banter
Haha nobody plays defense in an all star game. Thats the game you just shoot whatever shot because nobody is defending you.
And now he’s got traded for “too small” value..
this is like when tag team partners draw #1 and #2 in the Royal Rumble
What if they got rid of the wrong Jay lmao
And now we get to see it with actual defense soon. I’m hyped.
I know Jaylen was cooking that man after practice
Finally getting his due!
i’ve seen enough trade tatum for embiid and pick swaps immediately.
FAAWWWWWKKKK
Tatum not laughing like you’d expect ..
This looks like the defense my buddies and I play during pickup ball lmao.
My Batman
Jaylen Brown was always the dawg between the 2 of them.
Tatum has better physical attributes and talent, but always relied on that underachieved. Kind of similar to PG after he got paid and the injury.
Is it just me or you shouldn’t be doing too little cellys on step back jump shots
100%. That celly is for when you when you bully someone with your back to the basket and get an easy layup when they just bounce off you. The stepback is a guard move.
Sixers vs Celtics at TD gonna be lit
When is it not? But this will amp it up even further which I didn’t think possible
Man these all star games are garbage lol
celly
Utah mentioned
And they traded em crazy work 🤮
all im seeing is 76ers wouldve saved their picks if they just traded tatum for pg straight up 🤭
Jayson Tatum does play like he’s a foot shorter than he is.
You’d think JT didn’t have a left by this clip
Tatum is so overrated
JB should get the mask back for his villain arc. He looks scary as fuck at the 51s mark.

If it was up to analytics they would have let Tatum shoot them out that finals. Jb is a fucking dawg his demeanour ,his presence ,a real leader shows up when they count him out fuck analytics .
Dark skin ninjas >
Pause
Tatum don’t got that dawg in him. Lost the ball and started smiling
I’m sorry but every time there’s a whose better moment brown wins lol like he’s not actually better but I can see why he’d think so
This is also evidence why Kobe was better than LeBron.
All star game try hards
Small exchange but Brown showing why he should have been leader of Celtics and Tatum behind him. Better defense among other things as well. Their games in Celtics vs Sixers gonna be a must watch.
I think Brown will destroy Celtics in those ones
They downvoting you but you’re cooking
Brown’s better than him in real life
Brown has always been better lol
At running his mouth and being a pseudo intellectual probably
