It's just such a strange thing feel uncomfortable about...


Really? Is it comfortable to be a Celtics fan and watch your star player saying he was a Lakers fan regularly and talk about Kobe all the time?
We get it, he was a fan as a youngster.
Now he's not a youngster. He's a pro and he's been paid millions to lead Boston.
Kobe passing away is irrelevant.
Tatum doesn't seem to realize he's been playing for the greatest rival of the Lakers.
Do i need to further explain why is it uncomfortable for me?

It's sport bro... not the be all and end all, to me anyway.

I know here in Aus in the NRL we have players openly state they grew up as fans of opposing teams a lot, and I've NEVER heard anyone say it's made them feel uncomfortable.

At the end of the day it's a game mate.

World's biggest Kobe Bryant fan.

Just got back my 23 and me and I’m a small but Greek too haha

Kobe wanted the Lakers to chose Tatum. Tatum today said his dream was so close to coming true because the Lakers had the #2 overall pick but passed on him for Lonzo Ball. When asked why the Lakers didn’t chose Tatum Lobe said I have no clue. It’s cool when Kobe’s memory gets to live on through others

Didn’t Tatum also represent Kobe for the 75 greatest players wearing his jersey

OT Kobe wanted an animatronic statue too teach others foot work and skills so it was educational when asked what statue he should get outside Staples, there are soooo many statues. He suggested someone could figure it out in LA, that would be cool
