Thoughts on LeBron starting over Tatum in the Olympics? Is it unfair veteran privilege?

[thebigbird]

LeBron is better than Tatum. Anyone saying different is lying. Tatum has the much better team, which allows him to win a title despite being total cheeks in the finals.

Tatum made all-nba first team and James made 3rd team. Out of a panel of 100 voters, Tatum got 65 first place votes, 34 2nd place votes and 0 3rd place votes. James received just 1 1st place vote, meaning according to you, nearly 100 people are lying about Tatum being better.

Tatum was first team all-NBA because he was on the best team in the NBA. That doesn’t make him better than LeBron. Switch LeBron and Tatum and the Celtics still easily win a title.

Honestly, we need Ja back,

Eh.

we need Chet and Paolo to take a jump in the next few years

Yeah, Chet has potential. Paolo needs to learn how to finish inside 10 feet and in general how not to be violently inefficient.

Truth is this is probably the last year the US gets to trump the world like this, cause by next time it's a different story.

Yeah, without a big crop of domestic talent, there is a paradigm shift coming, no doubt.

Even a 40 year old Lebron is easily better than prime Latum so no worries.

Lebron is just a monster. Its unfair to normal folks like Tatum when they are compared to monsters like Lebron

Wow, this thread died off, wonder why?

[JustBuzzin]

This Lebron hate/shade is no longer funny or entertaining.

[Sign5]

Lol is this a joke?

Thread aged like milk on a hot summer day.

I posted it before and I'll post it again. I'd start a all Celtics/Lakers lineup in the Olympics... or atleast roll it out. Holiday, White, Tatum, Lebron, and Davis. I think that's a pretty balanced 5. And if the Lakers and Celtics can get together for the greater good than anything is possible.

What a luxury to have that backcourt.

As far as olympics go, Lebron is Captain America. No modern day star wing is starting over LBJ.

[Karate Diop]

This Team USA needs leaders, no offense to Tatum but he's not even the leader of the Celtics.

Bump

[Rainwater]

Damn, this aged well.

[DonaldSanders]

Lower minute old LeBron looks amazing. Imagine in the NBA he was on a contender that just played him half the game! Just have have him fresh to close.

[Potential]

Is Tatum even on the team?

[Pharmcat]

Tatum isn’t a superstar . These Olympics show these young guys are stars, not superstars

[JustBuzzin]

Is Tatum even on the team?

Everytime I see Tatum he's close to LeBron trying to get wisdom from LeBron.

Main reason Jaylen Brown should have been on this team over Tatum. He's Kobe. That pretty boy stuff don't mean nothing. We trying to win gold. This dude just trying to be under Lebron's wing.

We need some Dawgs!

Jaylen Brown and Ja Morant. Get these none alpha guys off the team. They sent guys who's not our best. They left the best home.

Team USA WTF are we doing!

[JustBuzzin]

Seriously is it too late to call up some DAWGS for Team USA?

Half of these guys don't want it.

Let's send Tatum/Booker home for Brown/JA.

We need someone who's going to dunk on these countries head. That's not Tatum/Booker the pretty boy jump shooters.
