lol i just now noticed tatum’s behind-the-back dime came directly after a failed behind-the-back pass from lebron

and it wasn’t a save - he could have let it go, celtics ball

This Steph finish 😲

Tough.

suggest we all just enjoy that dunk and do not look at the rest of his line from tonight

legitimately one of the most severe posterizations i’ve ever seen

Sick

one of the most severe posterizations i’ve ever seen

the defender had no chance of elevating to challenge Edwards, but he did what he could to draw the charge. he failed to arrive in time to succeed, but he basically sacrificed his body in the attempt. he doesn't deserve to be taunted or gloated over. none of the players on the floor took it that way afaics.

Grateful to the timberwolves for being willing to play a guy who doesn't even like basketball 34 minutes just so we can get the occasional monster dunk.

look sometimes you get dunked on so hard you die I don’t think we need any lectures about it it’s part of the game

I love you, too, J0rdan. It's kind of amazing to think that nothing stupider has ever penetrated your attention span.

i love that behind the back passes have become a normal thing to do

this sequence from Jayson Tatum. holy hell. pic.twitter.com/oOCPCm45Sg

— Rob Perez (@WorldWideWob) March 15, 2021

That's a pretty foolish pass by McLemore, so not the most challenging steal in the world to get, but damn he makes it look so easy. And the footwork on the stepback!

yeah the coolest thing about this sequence is how hes gliding around

definitely feels like he's playing a different game in that sequence

the celtics could adopt some sort of motion offense just an idea

hmmm intriguing

lol in 2k when i play as the celtics, which is all the time, i get smart or pritchard or kemba to bring it up and i'm looking around and everyone is literally just standing there. i have to deliberately call for a screen or run around to the wing just to shake them out of their funk

guess he was working on that sort of thing during his time off

defenders couldnt even process what was happening to them

the calmness of that left handed push dribble to separate from gogo, everything at like 60% speed and yet it freezes the defenders due to the threat of the pull up

*goga

jesus christ

He also flipped someone off at some point and dropped an f bomb in his postgame interview we need more ant

he should go to the g league

When Ant has a poster, I’m not sure which his better; the dunk itself or the reaction postgame.

wow that is a tough ass shot

its funny cause he missed a wide open ten footer extremely bad at the end of regulation

If I were a Raptors fan, I'd be pretty pissed right now as Tatum got away with some fancy footwork on his game winner 🤦‍♀️ pic.twitter.com/HVEdGlX8G3

Little man dunks will always reign supreme

more tatum footwork masterclass

Beautiful view of the push off AND 5 steps. This shit shouldn't have counted pic.twitter.com/DIAvpw8mMP

niang went down like hed been shot lol

its only three steps tho

actually the steps might be fine cause the last one with his right foot isnt really a step as hes established the left foot as the pivot

it could only be one step tbh which one is the gather is very borderline

indeed he was still "gathering" right up until the last one if you believe what people say about how gathering works (i don't believe it, although i also don't really understand it)

in conclusion the steps are fine push off def couldve been called, if he had just chicken winged him instead of extending his forearm its never called, if he extends his forearm all the way its called every time

I think if you give him credit for the gather bring his left foot just inside the 3pt line it could be ok, but there is def some borderline stuff goin on

tatum is a master of the borderline push off he does it all the time and never gets called you can only tip your cap, also refs dont really want to call it when the guy is beat and basically falling down already, niang was cooked on that play tatum just put a fork in him

dude is playing hopscotch with the basketball you guys are brainwashed

brainwashed by the refs

we def need less ref litigation so i think ultimately the 5 step step back is a necessary evil you just have to accept that said it’s funny to watch it go down in slow mo

https://i.imgur.com/s2nuYyU.png

if you give him this a the gather step the play is legal but its very close then the final step moving his right foot inside the ft line is just moving his non pivot foot aka not a step, however would this have been called a travel 20 years ago absolutely, but thanks to the work of nba scientists (james harden) weve made new discoveries, the real scandal in all this is that the gather step didnt used to be a thing they literally just decided to give them a extra step at some point, but tbh it wasnt totally not a thing cause guys would pick the ball up at the very end of what we consider the gather and it wasnt counted as a step, then they started picking it up earlier the euro step came in it led to the current philosophical revolution where the gather step was added to the rule book guys are picking the ball up at the very beginning of it getting very clever with how they establish the pivot foot like tatum did there and now were here, and back in the day in any ref wouldve called that play a travel without thinking about it

the praxis is getting pretty crazy

holy shit

he really might be one of the best leapers ever. he’s like the blake griffin of PGs. and after all the nonsense and injuries of the last few years he somehow looks springier than ever

Lotta rest has done his body good. Pretty easily the funnest player in the league as far as highlights goes
