Even IT said that Celtics only care about banners... and he said that AFTER he got traded.Not sure about that A on defense, but still.
Ben Simmons upset he got same NBA2K19 rating as Tatum. lol

Wait til he becomes the first back to back ROY, then he'll jump ahead of all those guys.Not sure about that A on defense, but still.

We need a mashup montage of Tatum and Jaylen training on different warrior paths leading in to the season.I... I think it moved.
I will forever blame Bird for talking the Celtics into taking Antoine over Kobe. Boston would have assembled one of the great asshole teams in NBA history with Kobe/Pierce as the centerpieces. That’s a team that would have won some titles.O dear. That is such a mix of emotions. That.

I don't think this actually happened. That draft was pretty clearly thought of as going 6 deep with the Celtics getting whichever guy was left at #6, and that is how it turned out.I will forever blame Bird for talking the Celtics into taking Antoine over Kobe.

Depends. Kobe wasn't good enough as a rookie to have affected their tank season much, and I'm not sure that as a second year guy he'd have been good enough to carry them into the playoffs, thus missing Pierce. Seems reasonably llikely that they are picking around the same place and winding up with either Pierce or Dirk anyway.If they draft Kobe, they don't necessarily end up with Pierce.
The Celtics traded up to get Walker. And Bryant was as highly regarded as the non-Iverson guys, but GMs were concerned due to signability issues, so he floated.I don't think this actually happened.

That trade was an incredible heist by the Celtics. Moved up in 1996 and picked up what would be the 6th pick in 1997 in exchange for... Eric Montross.The Celtics traded up to get Walker.

That was after Mr. "Bird and McHale are not walking through that door" Pitino came aboard. That pick became Andre Miller.They also trade a lottery pick for Vitaly.
Yeah, for some reason I thought it became Knight. He was the guy who replaced Miller as the Cavs PG I think.That was after Mr. "Bird and McHale are not walking through that door" Pitino came aboard. That pick became Andre Miller.
It was a swindle, largely wasted thanks to the Ricktator. They traded Montross and Samaki Walker for #6 and Dallas’ pick the following year. They should have had Bryant out of the deal, alas all they got was ‘Toine.That trade was an incredible heist by the Celtics.

Indeed. The Ricktator should have stuck with what he knew - college coaching, recruting violations, and sex on restaurant tables.It was a swindle, largely wasted thanks to the Ricktator.

Been pretty well reported, including by Tatum himself.News to me that he has a girlfriend, nevermind a kid at 19. Would be news to Wikipedia as well.
Interesting scoop, probably explains part of why he's eschewing the party life for now. Especially since his parents had him when they were 19.
It's not a scoop. It was widely reported. When he was born during the season. E.g.: https://www.boston.com/sports/boston-celtics/2018/01/13/jayson-tatum-welcomes-newborn-sonNews to me that he has a girlfriend, nevermind a kid at 19. Would be news to Wikipedia as well.

Not sure why it’s relevant, but the baby’s mother is not white.His son is a beautiful kid too. He obviously has a white Mom, and his Dad said she was over 6 foot tall. Kid is HUGE for 8 months, and has one brown eye and one blue eye that the doctors said would stay that way.
If some of the people here hadn't figured out yet that Danny was putting together a team of mutant X-Men, just wait until everyone sees Jaylen and Smart next year.Not sure why it’s relevant, but the baby’s mother is not white.
Interesting. I just meant it because the baby is very light skinned and has light brown hair and blue eyes. He looked very much mixed race to me (which my children are).Not sure why it’s relevant, but the baby’s mother is not white.
Mutant. Super powers.Interesting. I just meant it because the baby is very light skinned and has light brown hair and blue eyes. He looked very much mixed race to me (which my children are).
No idea why he would try to keep this under wraps...News to me that he has a girlfriend, nevermind a kid at 19. Would be news to Wikipedia as well.

The really key piece of information is that he bought his mom a unit in the same housing-whatever he's in.No idea why he would try to keep this under wraps...

Did you thank her for procreating?His Mom talked to me the whole flight, couldn’t have been nicer. And she actually engaged me when she saw me reading the Boston Globe sports page on my tablet — “are you a celtics fan?”, and then said, “well guess what this little guy’s name is?”
Unsurprisingly, they LOVE Ainge/Stevens/Wyc. “Best franchise in basketball, they take care of everything for the players and their families.”
His son is a beautiful kid too. He obviously has a white Mom, and his Dad said she was over 6 foot tall. Kid is HUGE for 8 months, and has one brown eye and one blue eye that the doctors said would stay that way.
She asked why I was going to Boston, and I told her my Dad was having surgery, and she asked his name and said she would include him in her prayers tonight.
Last thing — she said “we going to the Finals this year, mark it down.” They seem like wonderful people.
Many women would take exception to you impugning their amateur status like that.Did you thank her for procreating?
Between this post and you not realizing Shane Larkin was Barry Larkin's kid, methinks you need to brush up on things.News to me that he has a girlfriend, nevermind a kid at 19. Would be news to Wikipedia as well.

It's almost as if I'm only a casual basketball fan, trying to go up the learning curve on a baseball-centric board. I mean, I posted the Larkin thing in "things you only learned recently", which is a thread deliberately self-mocking at one's own surprising ignorance.Between this post and you not realizing Shane Larkin was Barry Larkin's kid, methinks you need to brush up on things.
I mean - you speculated on the race of a babies mother, after implying that it was some kind of secret the kid even existed. Why you put all that out there in the first place is beyond me.It's almost as if I'm only a casual basketball fan, trying to go up the learning curve on a baseball-centric board.

You're now the 4th person to reply to me here adding information I didn't have. Well, the 4th to reply; the others at least added information. While I appreciate the new information, you don't think you're piling on a bit with the insults?

I did not speculate on the race of the baby's mother, nor would I. You're confusing me with another poster. Maybe get your facts straight before going all condescending.I mean - you speculated on the race of a babies mother, after implying that it was some kind of secret the kid even existed.

It's not like you didn't know he was a good college 3 point shooter or something.
I did not know that Shane Larkin was Barry's kid. Also did not know that Tatum had a kid. Some of us maybe just enjoy watching basketball and don't really feel the need to learn every detail of players personal livesBetween this post and you not realizing Shane Larkin was Barry Larkin's kid, methinks you need to brush up on things.

I learned about the Tatum having a kid stuff while watching Celtics broadcasts--there were some joking interview questions asking if he was tired being a new dad. I learned Shane Larkin's dad was Barry Larking by reading articles when he signed with Boston. This really isn't TMZ level stuff.I did not know that Shane Larkin was Barry's kid. Also did not know that Tatum had a kid. Some of us maybe just enjoy watching basketball and don't really feel the need to learn every detail of players personal lives
