Colin Cowherd: "Jayson Tatum's nick is 'The Beneficiary'. He's on stacked team & can have bad nights unlike other stars"

[Triple M]

People were just saying there is an argument for any of the 8 teams to win the title. Also aren't multiple stars facing adversity these playoffs

[PierceFan4ever]

Jayson Tatum is the only #1 all star who had a great supporting cast when they won the championship apparently.

[One Last Shot]

Thanks to Cowherd, he light a fire on Jayson "The Beneficiary" Tatum destroying the Knicks in the 1st quarter with 15/5/2/2/1 in 93.8 TS%.

I also don't get the blowback here. Is anyone suggesting the Celtics aren't absolutely stacked? Their 3rd and 5th(?) best players each scored 40 in the same game this season. That's just crazy

That “fifth best player” has been called an undersized scrub most of his career. It’s odd you always hear how great guys like Doncic are at making the people around him better but someone like Tatum can have more assists during a playoff run yet the same narrative is never applied. Even when Tatum has poor shooting nights he does a lot more than the average player effecting the game with his passing, rebounding, and defense. Something that gets greatly overlooked.

It’s always been odd how unloved Tatum is. Seems like he’s been a winner from the start. He suffers from being too nice of a guy, I suppose.

He's chronically underrated.

Well yeah he's obviously a much better all-around player than the average player. I don't know what recognition about Tatum Celtics fans are looking for that he doesn't already get.

He gets a lot of disrespect from the likes of Cowherd here for similar reasons (lucky to be playing on a stacked team etc)

He is on a stacked team though.

Wtf. Those aren't even Tatum's actual stats from Game 3 that they have on the screen while bashing him, and this is the worst hater nickname I've ever heard in my life. Yeah The Beneficiary really rolls off tongue, you massive ****.

I usually try to stay hands off with Celtics topics on the GB, but seriously, **** this **** lmao.
