1. He plays for the Celtics, a team generally not liked as is
2. People hate that heās the first well-adjusted, normal person to be an NBA great. Seriously, think about all the other greats in the leagueās history. Theyāre fucking *nuts*. Tatum as a personality is as Average Joe as you can get.

He just dusted the entire league. Enjoy the tears

What kind of celebration would have satisfied these weirdos?

Trash journalists have to find something to say to justify their paychecks.
They could say something good, but theyāll get noticed more for shitty hot takes, so they make up shit.

Lol at that bootleg Lala with a crooked eyebrow

The Celtics hate is going to get so overwhelming that it’s going to get stale and pathetic and rebound into love and admiration if they continue to win. Just look at LeBron and Brady.

How ironic that the people saying heās corny donāt realize how corny and pathetic they are.

Idk who that woman is but every time I see her, sheās saying some nonsense
Rooleet
A grown ass woman talking about corniess like she’s a teenager might be the corniest thing possible lmao.

Canāt call him choker anymore so these bums in the national media are grasping at straws
thomaso40
Everyone should stop watching espn for anything other than an actual game. Itās nothing but wall to wall trash
VibeChatIncarnate
He is the corny king and heās OUR corny king. Iām not going to deny it. They all wish they had this cornball on their squad
Carlos_Mueses
Iām too busy celebrating to worry about what takes Espn has these days. They proved to be all clowns this season. Letās enjoy and get back to work for 19th.

It’s a classic [double bind](https://youtu.be/vnSiJOOdo30?si=Ssvo5Mze9j_woGCL). Double binds are heads they win, tails you lose scenarios. So, even through JT earned a chip, they can’t abide by it, so they have to cast shade however they can.
I donāt even care. Heās the single dad of a toddler. Heās supposed to be corny.
āWhat they gon say nowā? This is the only thing they can say now.

I swear I will never understand why you guys let these clowns infuriate you. This is the same network where their āexpertsā chose the Mavs and said Kyrie was better than Brown.
Asriel_Cristian
These types of people are jealous with nothing better to do with their miserable takes.
Tatum’s post-game reaction to his team’s win was endearing to see. He was honest and vulnerable in expressing his joy at his team reaching the NBA mountain top.
Congratulations to the Boston Celtics earning their 18th NBA Championship.

ESPN collapsing in real time. All the talking heads who had ājuiceā a few years ago have gotten outted as absolute frauds who say shit for clicks. People are waking up to it slowly but surely. Idk how people watch this shit.

Tatum: What they gon’ say now?
Them: “WE DID IT” was cringe and we’re not gonna talk about anything else.
morosco
It all goes back to the Patriots being good for a long time.
That leads to people hating the Celtics, which leads to people needing to hate the Celtics stars, which leads to having to make up the weirdest shit to justify hating a completely likeable and normal star like Tatum.

world champion king of corny**
Cratertooth_27
Honestly I think itās because he was pushed as a kd, lebron level star, but heās āonlyā a perennial all star
Jumpslikeawhitekid
What’s another name for “The King of Corny”?
Champion
simpledeadwitches
It’s really funny I’ve never heard the word ‘corny’ used so much in my life but if thats all they got then it’s even more funny tbh.
Sports media and journalism is such trash now too that none of this matters.
srstone71
This is part of a larger issue thatās bigger than Tatum, the Celtics, and even basketballā¦
The lines between Twitter trolls making memes and ālegitimateā sports journalism become increasingly blurred by the day. Itās hard to tell the difference between the two and itās really going beyond sports.
Your typical social media trolls get their jokes off when someone they donāt like has success, and you get used to it. But the media emulating that behavior is a newer phenomenon and itās pretty dangerous.

Not a fan of Elle Duncan after her arrest for DUI. She’s got a pretty unfortunate mugshot if you look it up.

The national media is based in New York and LA. They hate Boston and they hate Boston sports for taking the attention away from them. They are spoiled brats who are swimming in entitlement and let’s be honest, Boston is an city known for their Irish population and there has always been anti-Irish bigotry in this country.
Wacky_Water_Weasel
I don’t mind him getting ragged on for copying KG and Kobe, to be fair that was a little corny. But honestly, who gives a shit. Those pictures of him with Deuce are just iconic and beautiful. He’s a good person and role model.
componentswitcher
If anybody else did what he did no one would care, they would call it a āloving tributeā or some shit
balbon0210
Because he is a good guy and has this Mama’s boy kind of projection, which I am fine with it, to be honest. He became a father at age 20, after all, and at least someone has to take care of Deuce. I am happy that his mother is still there at her side to help her with things in life (which sorry I really usually do not see with Americans).
For the haters – why, you wanted JT to be with hoes and weeds just like other players? Then make news? Gtfo.
Also the response to such criticism can summed up to
WHAT YOU GONNA SAY NOW?? In Filipino we translate this as “Mema…. mema sabi lang” , roughly a pun on meme and it means “just saying” but usually nonsense spiel.
RK4Life
Do you know who is absolutely THRILLED to employ a cornball, 26 year old, champion superstar?
The Boston Celtics.
TheBrianRoyShow
They hate him cause he’s a good father and nobody at ESPN knows what that’s like.

Fuck, the goddam glazing that Anthony Edwardās is guaranteed to get next season despite doing fuck all is gonna be so gross

ESPN and the horrible Elle Duncan need viewers to stop changing the channel I guess. That station is such trash. Very few solid journalists left.

my theories on why Tatum is hated for no reason:
1. He plays for the Celtics, a team generally not liked as is
2. People hate that heās the first well-adjusted, normal person to be an NBA great. Seriously, think about all the other greats in the leagueās history. Theyāre fucking *nuts*. Tatum as a personality is as Average Joe as you can get.

It’s a very common [psycho-emotional abuse](https://youtube.com/@beyondfamilyscapegoatingabuse?si=u-7CHsGSlHq7sUbx) tactic. You see it in [toxic groups](https://youtu.be/VBk5E_gd_lE?si=4IvScpoSxzX6SobB) all the time.

Hate generates clicks. That’s all there is to it.
