Knicks fan trying to recruit Jayson Tatum: “We gotta get you outta Boston, they too racist out there… New York is racist too, but not like Boston.”
“I mean brotha” lmaooo
Ethical recruiting
Very respectful.
Ethnical recruiting
The Bostonian would have doubled down on a hard R
Bostonians can’t pronounce the letter R
Hard aahhhhhhhhhraah
Mayor Quimby ass mfers.
That’s the one word they make an exception for
HAHDEAH DADDY!!!

That sent me
Lol, dudes trying to change his casual vocabulary. I support it.
Bro really said “I must be better to attract better” lmaoo
hilarious timing with the video cutting off right after
that got me a good laugh
What are the rules?
pretty solid pitch, all things considered
case in point LMFAOOO
I don’t know why but hearing something yelled in a New York accent is almost always funnier than any other American accent.
And as a Masshole, I admit it’s always more annoying when yelled in a Boston accent.
Idk I’m not from the North East and I think they’re both funny lol
I can’t explain it but the Boston accent has a little bit of “I’m better than you” in it. It’s like a preppy New York accent lol.
Boston accent = preppy was not on my bingo card ha. To me it’s the epitome of blue collar.
Who you cawlin blue collah kehd?
I can hear this and I’m not even from the USA lmao.
Yea he can call us annoying all he wants but saying our accent is preppy makes me want the ones with him
Fun fact, the accent comes from the Boston Brahmins. They were the wealthy upper class in Boston in the 1800s. The whole dropping the letter R thing came from them and then it snowballed into what it is now. So at one point, the Boston accent really was preppy
I like when Bill Simmons does his exaggerated version of a Southie accent, he indignantly goes, “Oh, you think you’re bettah than me?!”
What do you think the Boston accent is
The bar’s full, it’s fucking hilarious
Boston accent is the worst. But the Brooklyn guide the accent is pretty bad too.
A strong Minnesota accent is the funniest American accent if you ask me.
Half the humor in Fargo is simply the way they talk
I use “awh, heck” all the time when something goes mildly wrong because of Martin Freeman in Fargo.
You betcha
I can’t take a cajun/creole accent seriously
Chère, you de only thing worth stealin’ in dis whole world.
OOHIMABOUTTAMAKEANAMEFORMYSELFHERE
I could listen to Xavier Legette speak all day
dow here in da lewdeeana bayoooouuuu
Yinzer #1 silly accent
Baltimore
Aaron earned an iron urn
but do they use hyuk when they speak?
No that’s Iowa
Brother Missouri’s that way. 👇
Don’t you mean Missora?
I’ll be deep in the cold cold ground before i recognise Missoura
Is a minny acent essentially Canadian or is there a difference?
It’s similar but there’s some distinct differences. I couldn’t give you a full breakdown, but no one here does the thing where they pronounce out as oot, or pronounces pasta wrong.
Oh! Dontcha knooh
o yah?
OKE HAN
Serious question, can you tell with a Minnesota accent?
New Yorker’s just say the wildest honest shit
I saw a clip of some New Yorker and he said “Greeks are just Puerto Rican Italians”
To stick with the theme I’d put the Boston accent right up there
The first time I went to Boston, a friend and I sit down at Fenway. The first thing I hear in that thick accent is a woman a few rows back asking someone “Do you want my popcorn? The buttah is making my lips soah” and I think about it a lot
As a Masshole, reading this brought me great joy.
Similar experience, was headed to Fenway and same lady yells “I’M FAUWKIN’ STAHVIN’ GET ME A SAUSAGE!!”
Idk I heard a Maine accent on NPR the other day and it was strange. Like Canadian and Boston accents slammed together.
Bro my mom has been doing her Canadian citizenship application based on her great grandfather, and one of the birth certificates has the name McCormick spelled wrong almost exactly like a strong Maine accent, McConnick.
Lmao, no joke just got back from errands and heard the accent again on NPR. (They’ve been covering Graham Glasgow). And good luck to your fam on the citizenship! I did my own research for my family and figured out we are in fact Canadian by descent. Just haven’t done the paperwork :/ it’s kind of a beast and I do paperwork for a job lol.
Boston accent is just as funny. My mom’s side of the family is from Boston. It’s hilarious.
I see that and raise you “Having just moved to New England, and spoke to a black guy at a gas station that had a Boston accent that would put anything I’d heard in a movie to shame.”
I had what should have been an obvious epiphany, that regional accents aren’t necessarily restricted to race.
try Ole Miss football… u hear screams in accents u thought died w/ the confederate generals
Because we all perceive yelling as their neutral tone and it’s funny to see things said so casual and off the cuff yelled.
Classiest New Yorker
Least offensive New Yorker
Take notes celtics fans
I admit we’re lacking in our police brutality game… our white cops are spending too much time at Dunkin Donuts and not enough time beating people up in Dorchester…
not enough time beating people up in Dorchester…
Isn’t that Mark Wahlberg’s job?
They spend too much time wiping out on childrens’ slides
The fact that comment made Tatum turn around 🤣🤣 get outta there JT
Boston taxes a lot lower than NYC, also cheaper housing/rent.
I know this is weird as hell but I gotta address it. That is one Big Apple
Thats a BBL 100%
That’s a BBXL 110%
100% helped her get exactly where she is.
I mean I didn’t even turn the volume up lmao good lord she thicker than a bowl of oatmeal
r/upvotebecausebutt
lmao are these comments for real? It’s just jokes you cornballs
They not outside brodie
Never been 🤣
That’s reddit for you. No life losers
Live at 10 Redditor says redditors have no lives, and in other news man who rides public bus says all people who ride public transportation are losers.
Get ready, this is what comes with the crown. Everyone overly scrutinizing anything remotely related to your team just to clown them for some reason.
Though Knicks fans have had to deal with that already for some time.
Yeah we’re built for it
Bunch of Herbs
Tatum was laughing yet reddit nerds are all mad lmao
The brotha at the end killed me lol
Dude is like if I asked ChatGPT to create what a Republican thinks a black heckler sounds like
That’d just be a photo of Mitchell Robinson
Guy behind the camera is just a 20 year old ginger jewish kid putting on that accent lol
And every New Yorker knows that’s the last person you want to fuck with (his dad is a shark of a lawyer)
His dad does full-time Torah study and lives off benefits. But he def says his dad is a lawyer to try and scare the black kids!
Everyday I wake up and it’s another psyop
If I asked ChatGPT to create what a redditor thinks a Republican is like, it’d come up with Graham Platner.
Christ.
create what a Republican thinks a black heckler sounds like
Cory Booker?
Son 😂😂😂
I see you Tatum, you thought about it! 😂
Lmao seriously
This whole clip is amazing
This is the verbal equivalent of dumping out a trash can to take it home
“New York is racist too, but not like Boston” might be the most Knicks fan sentence ever lmao
Bro, if he’s laughing 😂
Self aware racists
Progress my brother
“It’s the good kind of racism”
Y’all can have Robinson back.
Nope, no trades back…
New York is open about the racism. There is an equity about it. Also, it’s not personal.
Boston keeps the racism under the radar, pretends it doesn’t exist, yet it continues, insidiously.
I’m from Boston. Love the teams. Also, fuck the Knicks. Win one championship and think they are a destination.
One last point, the irony of talking about racism when their owner is a Prince of the MAGAs.
win one championship and think they are a destination? we have always been a destination. fuck you mean? even when our team was ass we were flirting with zion or giannis or somebody to come here.
“We’ve always been a destination, evidenced by rumor mills saying we’d sign players we never did”
Who them big FAs the Knicks got the last ten, fifteen years?
Win one championship and think they are a destination.
You can’t be fuckin’ serious.
racism. There is an equity about it. Also, it’s not personal.
😦
under the radar, pretends it doesn’t exist, yet it continues, insidiously.
I don’t think you’ll find a place in the US where racism of this kind doesn’t exist. At most, you’ll find places where folks deny its existence. Racism isn’t just Klan hoods and dented flagpoles and black men going missing after work, the bulk of it is insidious and systematic.
I’ve never seen someone get jumped for wearing an opponents jersey in Boston
We’re talking about racism, not jersey discrimination.
Never? That may happen more in some placess more than others, but it happens all over the world.. Take a large group of people, give them clothing to identify “us vs them”, add alcohol and there’s always a few morons who let tribalism take over (or use it as an excuse) to do stupid shit.
There was a guy who was dressed as a Sixers fan trolling people and he was jumped. He was doing it on purpose for social media, though. And there was at least one fight between a Knicks and Celtics fan when they eliminated us the year before. But it’s very rare now.
happened during a bruins run against the leafs

Once again… it’s not a bad pitch though.
As a Hyde Park, Bostonian who lives in Bushwick, Brooklyn?
He wrong but he not wrong
Lmaooooo
In Boston? IGBBMN…
I hear no lies in his recruitment pitch lmao
Tatum was laughing it was just some banter
Can’t be acting like this right after winning a championship cmon.
2nd apron got everybody stressing 😭 yall know about that too
I WOULD BEG TATUM TO JOIN US TOO BRO, THE SECOND APRON IS NOT A GOOD PLACE TO BE IN 😭
If JT suits up for the knicks I’ma end it all
Not tay tay 🤣🤣🤣
Is that other dude trying to grab Jayson Tatum’s attention or Taylor Swift?
He’s not wrong lol but a lot of the racism in NY is upstate, Staten Island, and in Long Island. You have some in the 4 boroughs but it’s legit nothing to be worried about
Do you think that racism in Boston is geographically—you know what, nevermind
I mean, you’ve obviously never been to Queens? And Brooklyn the further you get from Manhattan?
Unless you are asian and an epidemic is happening
On* Long Island
I mean, that’s only true if you’re saying only white people are racist.
Life long NYer here, the fact of the matter is every group is racist.
i feel like racism in nyc is unique because there is a lot of different kinds of people here. yes we have white people being racist to black people… but i’ve seen a lot of racism with dominicans and puerto ricans (and haitians), chinese and japanese, chinese and koreans, i’ve seen chinese hate chinese from a different part of china (i guess that’s just bigorty), all kinds of shit.

I feel I would have agreed with this comment if I could read it
Thought about it tho
This is fucking hilarious oh my god lmao 😂😂 “I mean brotha” at the end killed me
Tatum fucking laughing kills me too he can’t hold it in 😂 this dude funny as hell
The “Boston is racist” circle jerk is because Mass is the only place in the country where the republicans aren’t stupid. Boston isn’t actually that racist, but people expect it to be some magical liberal paradise where everyone is nice to each other because we have a lot of colleges and the state votes overwhelmingly Democrat (in federal elections). If you think Boston is so racist, I’d love for you to name a city you consider less racist than Boston. I guarantee you that city has had a race riot more recently, and probably this century (which we haven’t).
I’m from New England and much of my family is from the Boston area. Boston has a history of racism and segregation the same as every other northern city and white people in Mass are incredibly racist. The amount of my white coworkers over the years who have said “I’m not a racist.” immediately before casually using the hard R n-word is quite high.
You said a lot. Why do we need to compare racist cities? Racism requires a riot? What rule book are you referencing?
That is not at all why Boston gets a bad rap for being racist. It started with multiple players describing racial abuse at the hands of Boston fans.
I’d say San Jose, for instance, is less racist than Boston. No recent race riots there and they didn’t have a policy of stop and frisk within the past 15 years
It would actually be hysterical if Tatum demanded a trade
BBAWSton
Who are they gonna give up to get Tatum? We’re talking about OG and Bridges at minimum.
McBride and picks obviously
lol hell no. Although with what we just got for brown might as well make an offer I guess.
I mean he’s right lmaoo
A second Tay Tay has hit New York
I’m calling him TayTay from now on
NYC not racist like Boston. uh huh.
remind me of the newest outrage again? Islamo-communist Zohran Mamdani is trying to replace “native” New Yorkers because he left Little Italy off some brochure?
MY racist is better than YOUR racist!
Yo Tay Tay 🤣🤣
is Boston really as bad as people say it is? never been there
Going to Boston is like going to a nice European city. Highly educated, super progressive, and basically no slums meaning you can walk for miles in any direction and be totally safe from violence. The city has a lot of history and is culturally interesting.
People on the internet constantly just calling Boston racist haven’t been there. It is really white - all of northern New England is - so that’s probably one of the issues and why people who aren’t white don’t necessarily feel comfortable. But all places deal with racism - Boston included.
🤣dude has never been down the red line south of downtown and away from the T
To everyone else poor people in Boston live far away from the public transit and have to take buses more often not as an option but as the only option
Apparently their fans are fond of saying the N-word, fought hard against school integration in the 70’s and 80’s, is still very racially segregated economically (like, astoundingly so), and had a (racist) policy of stop and frisk as recently as 2015.
So like. It’s not *not* racist, even though Boston fans will try to argue otherwise, but it is true that the largely liberal population at least produces better quality of life in theory for the average black person moving there. And not to say white liberals are incapable of racism, but it’s definitely not at the same level as small town Alabama or anything
They’re so cringe 😂
We not ever going to stop acting like beggars man🤦🏾♂️ we won a championship smh
No one begging bro lol
We get you squared up with some Timbs and a fitted and it’ll be like you was born here….
The fact that JT turned around lmao.
Tatum KAT frontcourt would break the nba lmao
Nah they can keep him and his fragile ego
“I mean brotha” what a dork.
And yes, NY is just as racist. Don’t let the internet fool you. 🤦🏾♂️
Very
Peak off-season post.
That shit is hilarious lmao the NY accent makes it
Stay classy NY
nigaa i mean brorher 😂😂😂😂😂😂🔥
Lost him at “Tay Tay”
This ain’t Taylor swift my brotha 🤣🤣🤣
Solid chirp. Got a chuckle out me and JT too it seems lol
I don’t think Tatum would ever want to be a second option on a team. This is rhe first time in his career where he is the clear number 1.
Can confirm.
