  • @tigerhoods7927
    Remember when people said Tatum & Brown won’t fit together? Now NBA Champions.
  • @tyemccatty763
    SAS is acting like Tatum hasn’t become one of the most hated players in the leauge. Now he shut down the hate, give him his flowers 💐
  • I hope the media finally stop tryna put Tatum and Brown against each other, at this point they probably the best duo and they still getting better
  • @macmini2307
    This may sound crazy but brown and Tatum are the healthier and younger version of Kawhi and Paul George
  • @tigerhoods7927
    In all seriousness though Celtics front office did what they had to do, hit on their draft picks with Tatum & Brown and put them in position to win and wasn't afraid to trade anybody for the sake of a championship.

    Stay over there espn we dont want any of you
  • Crazy how much the media switches. We knew from day 1 Tatum and Brown were special. Yet there were “experts” saying they should break up Brown and Tatum. 😂😂 banner 18!!
  • @nicks6813
    Tatum and Brown got caught up in hero ball a few times (dribbling the clock down, taking a static 3) and thankfully Jrue made the ball move by cutting, and distributing.Thankful for Jrue and Derrick White. They were so key to this team's success.
  • @JohnnySensei7
    So ESPN covers this and the first king they do, is choose to STILL put them against each other
  • @JosephAluko
    So happy old man Al horford got a chip. LBJ has been abusing that man for decades 😅

  • @REHYPHENUPSTV
