How Jayson Tatum Killed The Playoffs

We just witnessed the first chapter in what could be a legendary career for Jayson Tatum. His confidence, polish, and pure skill as a rookie do not come often, and he showed it in the playoffs. Check out how.

[@LeBeautiful]

Tatum played his heart out during the playoffs... definitely showed signs when he was more of an experienced player than a rookie. The future is bright.

[@beastmode218]

He reached deep into his bag for a glimpse of his prime to help get the Celtics to the ECFs

[@joshbaynes5835]

Danny Ainge has to have one of the best eyes in the league for talent. Saw this coming before everyone caught on the bandwagon

[@dannyl2755]

Joshua Baynes it’s crazy that he’s been this good since high school

[@joshbaynes5835]

Danny L He was a God at Chaminade. Best player out of St. Louis for sure

[@dannyl2755]

Joshua Baynes he was a god at duke too, especially in the ACC tournament, that’s when I knew he deserved to be a top 3 pick

[@NeoAkira101]

Yeah he's new-age Jerry West

[@bpdmf2798]

NeoAkira101 Jerry west?

[@Wavy612]

It’s amazing how polished his game is

[@amateruss]

I see Kobe passing by.

[@Shadow017M]

And the fact that he still has a lot to work on makes it scary to think what he could become!

[@skeybell]

Kobe Bryant Faxxxx Kobe

[@theavatar9191]

He's gonna be the next Kobe

[@pratyushmanandhar7296]

That boy is special. He will end up as one of the all time greats.

[@jellyfamxoxo4667]

YEZZIR

[@clearbandwagoner9249]

This has aged pretty well

[@neihsangaa]

@@clearbandwagoner9249 yessir like fine wine

[@Doobie_AdamsSSB]

I feel like he is going to be like a stronger, and even more crafty version of KD when he gets into his prime...I’ve been saying all yea he’s a young Kobe and he just might reach that tier someday bc this man is a killer!! ☘️ Oh and don’t forget, we didn’t just get the best player in the draft...Danny Ainge also finessed Philly out of a first round pick 😂🐐

[@michaelcoffey1991]

2nd most points in the playoffs as a rookie in the nba EVER...2nd to a guy named Kareem...let that sink in. He will be the best player in the game within 2 to 3 years under Brad. Not even scratched the surface of his game as a defender, rebounder or shot blocker.

[@wanlitan7406]

Well, he did play NINE more games than Kareem. Still incredible. Love this guy.

[@clearbandwagoner9249]

Aged pretty well, not exactly the best though

[@f.lashby8298]

Out of all rookies this year, I truly believe Taytum will be the one with the most chips.

[@viclavar9298]

Doubt it.

[@alexmaloney2144]

Being on the 2nd most stacked team in the nba helps

[@f.lashby8298]

Alex Maloney They're not stacked. Just like the Spurs aren't stacked. They just have a great but yet unexperienced coach.

[@Shadow017M]

Who other than the Warriors is more stacked? C's have 2 top-25 talents in Kyrie and Hayward, an underrated defensive anchor and stabilizing vet in Horford, and two of the brightest young talents in the Association who will only get better.

[@alexmclellan104]

Alex Maloney true it’s impressive the way he led that team with Kyrie and Hayward out tho

[@iamthestrongsuperman]

Never trade with the celtics again. Never. No matter how good the trade may look the celtics always wins big

[@LilSerx]

If Philly trade wouldn't have happened, Celtics would just have taken Tatum at #1

[@bpdmf2798]

S. Tihonov yeah, but Philly wouldn't have given up a king's pick that will likely be lottery.

[@feroce82]

S. Tihonov the Celtics said that after, but everyone 1st pick was Fultz.

[@LilSerx]

samuel morrison everyone except boston obviously

[@akcurtain8936]

Boston traded it for a reason. Even if they kept it, Tatum would've been drafted first.

[@gavegr00ve]

Him and D Mitch are going to be absolute superstars

[@bpdmf2798]

Jake Molnar agreed. I think Donovan might have a few better years than Tatum because he is more the man on his team than Tatum is, but that Tatum will have more longevity due to his body type and height. Once Donovan loses a step he will be just another skilled guard whereas Tatum can move up and play the 4 because of his height.

[@leilast2625]

+BPD MF tatum will slay all the way no one come close how special he is his era will be unstoppable lets go celtics!!!

[@76eagles43]

Jake Molnar no respect to ben

[@gavegr00ve]

kristian park I’ll give respect to Ben when he learned how to shoot more than 5 feet away from the basket

[@gavegr00ve]

kristian park learns *^

[@CptRexFilms987654321]

Tatum is gonna thrive next season. Having two guys like Hayward and Kyrie that demand attention from the defense, Tatum is gonna have some beautiful looks and will get the space he needs to go to work

[@huh4869]

That Dude Najarian idk about that 😶

[@chaoticmadness122]

Boy was this wrong let’s hope he can do something without Kyrie taking all the touches

[@brucemugabe5509]

my favourite player alongside bron

[@mrmete]

Greatest basketball channel on youtube. Love this channel, and use it to help my game even at my ripe old age lol, keep it up

[@swredderx]

WOW. I'm still a newbie to the whole basketball world and this might be my first video about techniques and how players play. I'm speechless! this video is awesome and veery precise 💯💯 kudos to you for the work you've done here 💪👏

[@aaxeliotts]

been a fan since I was young so.. welcome to the world of hoops! 😂😂😂😂

[@Gilgamesh_Prime]

You can really see shades of Kobe in those midrange jumpers and stepaways, never really noticed it before but it's clear JT emulated a lot of that style in developing his game

[@QurramAli]

i have been learnin' from theese videos a lot ...Thanks 👍👍👍

[@IAmSolomon]

And the goat has posted a video again!!

[@ByAnyMeansBasketball]

We're back!

[@clarkthakuria]

Amazing his game is so polished and composed especially for a rookie it’s crazy

[@ithinkimthatman1277]

Some of the best basketball videos. Love this channel keep it up!

[@kevinmunroejr3390]

Great video. Can't wait to see him continue to develop and take over the league.

[@AR-io8fv]

This and your Kyrie video were my faves. Their play style is like watching art. THIS is why I'm obsessed with basketball.

[@ByAnyMeansBasketball]

Follow our journey and much more! Let's make this go big 🙏 kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqWTpGOEo9agf5Y

[@amieldelosreyes1208]

This beat is fireee. And the whole video too mannn it's very helpful

[@LuciORLuciano]

Love this channel, always make good videos with good music

[@nickyt3441]

Always happy to see a new attention to detail, especially if it's one of my Cs☘️

[@witsawat90]

His move is like a perfect mix between Paul Pierce and Kobe (If I'm not mistaken, He once said in his twitter that Kobe is his idol)

[@powerbounce3445]

witsawat90 Not lebron?

[@tywanthomas9674]

witsawat90 his idol is lebron

[@steffanhegeman6351]

TRUE, his idol was Kobe growing up. Copying all his moves. But then his dad or another family member told him he would have a more of a young Paul Pierce, the Truth, body type and started watching his moves on tape. And now he plays as a Celtic!

[@lfcnbosceltics]

Lol his idol is not Lebron. It is Kobe. The only knew Lebron because his uncle played on the Cavs with Lebron. In the Lebron photo, he was wearing Kobe jersey.

[@Stormtrooper-fv7dr]

get the fuck outta here. His favorites player was and still is Kobe.

[@a.leunghkg9919]

Great vids! Truly enjoy ya channel. Another Celtics legend Paul Pierce please!!

[@alexmclellan104]

Crazy to believe Fultz and Lonzo were drafted ahead of him. He is gonna be a special player in a few years. He already is

[@bpdmf2798]

What is so nasty is when you look at the score when he does some of his best stuff. Most of the time it's tied, behind by a couple, or ahead by a couple. On a very well spread offense he is the guy who gets the ball on key possessions, not always, but usually. On a team with a bunch of stars and young guys, he is the stand out. When Kyrie needed to get bailed out on a bad drive (rare as they may be for him), he looked for Tatum. That says a lot. A guy who normally looked to LeBron as a bail out pass is now looking at Tatum the same way. Tatum also looks taller than on opening night. He started the season at 6'8 in shoes and by the playoffs he was a hair shorter than Al Horford who is 6'11 in shoes.

[@lijahmoody]

He’s gonna get more moves in his bag too.. and once he gets stronger then gets some calls.. Watch out lol

[@Zatora11]

lijah moody especially playing with kyrie

[@lijahmoody]

Zatora11 right! Dude gon be dangerous

[@bpdmf2798]

lijah moody we saw that in the playoffs. In the regular season he was officiated like a rookie usually is. Once the playoffs got going and it was clear that he was the man on the Celtics and he was getting at least a highlight a game on ESPN, then he started getting protection and coin flip calls. It was obvious to me and I watched every minute of every game all year going back to summer league. I think it happens to a lot of guys in the playoffs and some of them don't take advantage of it or don't realize it, but he did and he drove at the bucket much more because of it. Win or lose, the Milwaukee series did so much for Tatum. It showed him he can compete at that level, it showed him how defenders play in the playoffs, and he refined his game from games 3 and 4 to games 5, 6, and 7. He learns fast. That's his best quality. He only looked like a rookie in his first game vs LeBron when LeBron blocked his first shot and then Gordon Hayward happened, but after halftime he came out and dropped like 19 in the second half to nearly overcome a 20pt deficit.

[@XxXStoneFingerXxX]

he is what brandon ingram should've been like

[@lijahmoody]

XxXStoneFingerXxX that’s what I say too lol

[@AllLove0307]

I don’t know if Ingram could be that fluid. I believe in him tho, especially since Ingram has scoring capabilities and sort of help run the offense. Ingram’s footwork and body control is not up to par with Tatum (which might be some core related issues too, I don’t know), and Tatum is a better shooter. Their defense is about the same, maybe Ingram having an edge with the longer frame

[@zenodee]

Ingram is more point forward-ish, with a decent three Jason is an explosive scorer from everywhere like KD

[@dranzerbeast0308]

Their games r different

[@suadelegend5443]

XxXStoneFingerXxX if he was in Boston he'd be playing as good as Tatum I'm sure.

[@icoh25]

Watching this now makes me so damn proud. He's already an All-Star and a top 5 player in the east. I also like how you can clearly see the difference of his release and how his shots fall from then to now, his jumper is so smooth now and the ball goes in more cleanly than before.

[@ah00dii85]

The future in the making 💯 kid has i bright future if he doesn’t get any serious injuries.

[@LacuinFamily]

Man is clutch asf! Most of those shots he was taking were key in each round. Cnt wait for the season to start.

[@clancey1717]

For a person like me who doesnt really know the inner workings of basketball playstyles I could really understand what he was doing thanks to this video really well done

[@ranierespolong559]

His release is so pretty

[@lesco51790]

Amazing video

[@benkr92]

Great vid

[@Grandmaster_Vic]

And Kobe is helping him develop and improve his game during the off-season. This kid is going to be an Assassin by next season or the season after.

[@kinggcamoo7727]

That Boy From My City St.Louis... The Murda Capital. You Know How Them Boys In The Hood Be Ballin

[@kingflame532]

Can you make a video of Jrue holiday he was a big part in the pelicans making the playoffs and was all defensive 1st team

[@vinuzo9548]

Can you make a series on the different positions and how to be effective in each one

[@blahblaklj7358]

Was expecting another mashup of random highlights and commentaries. Actually provided some information and organization breaking down what he did. Better production than 99% of what you see on TNT/ESPN.

[@shawnjohnson6773]

I just pray he don't have to deal with injuries in his career cause what we miss in t mac Tatum bringing that style back to the game

[@kalyanpullela7771]

nice vid bro

[@Solo_TV]

Can you make a video on shooting mechanics like you made a series on dribbling moves and momentum

[@cbixby8335]

Love to watch this kid amazed at his abilities at a young age glad danny passed on fultz

[@quitrieirving9417]

This video will go down in history

[@GTheGenius]

He has a nice game. I’m a fan now!

[@Solo_TV]

Can you make attention to detail videos on my high school players

[@christophergomes878]

Can you make an attention to detail on Paul pierce

[@bpdmf2798]

Don't forget that he started and played in every single game except 1 time right before the playoffs when the starters were getting rest and letting China league guys play alongside G league guys. So far he is durable.

[@rifathahmed9940]

Special player just special

[@HoopHomies]

Dennis smith dunk approach/takeoff or any dunk mechanics

[@fun4allization]

T.A.T.U.M🔥

[@AR-io8fv]

I was just shaking my head throughout the entire video. What is this kid gonna become? Scary

[@Chandasouk]

Tatum with the facial. OOF.

[@dami1219]

Chandasouk pause

[@cbmixtapes9660]

Hey, what editing software do you use to make your videos?

[@MrEtherShot]

Definitely the most polished rookie in a long time! My favorite was him dunking on Bron In game 7

[@michealchavez186]

we need a update ... he’s blossomed to one of the best iso scorers in the game.

[@kylerupnext1476]

Can you make a video on how to stop bone cracking please

[@thejinn765]

This boy will be a Eastern Conference All Star next year

[@angelop5754]

Hell yeaaah💯💯🔥🔥

[@Jason-cs3zt]

Can u guys do an analytical video on what happened to IT? I know he isn’t getting much chances but there has to be another reason that has to do with his game specifically

[@bpdmf2798]

Jon Williams it's called injury. He put off getting surgery on his hip and hurt it worse. Then he skipped surgery again, instead letting it heal on its own, then finally got the surgery at the end of the year. He'll be back next year, probably as a Laker.

[@luisdanielcarrascomartinez5135]

Please do a guide to shooting!!

[@Solo_TV]

Daniel Carrasco attention to detail for shooting mechanics

[@JC-ye1gu]

JUMPSHOT NASTY AF BOYYY

[@thep0sterizer651]

RING ONE BABY!!!!!

[@G1stGBless]

This dude! He is basically like Grant Hill with range and a couple updates. Tatum, Mitchell, and yes Simmons are looking like they will put their own mark on the NBA much like the ‘06 NBA draft.

[@LilSerx]

06 draft was quite bad...

[@ryanwalker4554]

Ya you mean the 2003 draft with Lebron Melo wade and bosh?

[@kevin12553]

please never leave BOSTON JT ...

[@jamesd.savage5325]

Damn how was his game that smooth already

[@bpdmf2798]

He'll be an mvp candidate by the time he is 25. No fewer than 8 all star starts and maybe 12 all star appearances. I see a scoring title if the team gets bad enough to have him taking many more shots than he gets with the depth they have now.

[@masedagoon5399]

i’ve been saying Tatum was nice since when he carried us through the ACC tournament 🤘🤦‍♂️🤫🐐😭😭😭

[@sundk7553]

AM A CAVS FANS BUT THIS KID IS GONNA BE GREAT NO DOUBT

[@CarlosGarcia-xu2cy]

He cooked TT all series

[@isiahgeorge8290]

lmfao TT having nightmares about getting switched onto JT

[@kronpineda7311]

In a year or two, we will be seeing Tatum's first run at league MVP. Mark my words.

[@Alcadeias01]

"He's a rookie !!!"

[@spacepioneer4070]

The only thing i'm concerned with is how often he complains. In short, his maturity on the court. He's young, so that will come in time. Jaylen Brown is a great example of a young player that can keep his composure together. This is coming from a long time Celtics fan, i'm just being real.

[@aujun2089]

This kid play smart and high confident. Everyone knew he gonna be like Kawhi type of player.

[@patrickeve1669]

Never clicked so fast. ☘️

[@easymoneysniper697]

We need a trae young breakdown ASAP

[@glennparker73]

It was fun to watch him this season Concerned me a little to watch him lose some composure against LBJ tho

[@dunkilationzzz]

Jayson Tatum is a brilliant player and is a future MVP

[@jonnothing1169]

All this attention to detail... without even touching the other end if the court. Unlike players he will be close to i.e. Kobe, ect. This kid can play elite defense. Boston is stacked.

[@khotunchan4227]

It reminds me of Kobe's mid range plays

[@_Coacch]

Duke!

[@chrisevilmonkey]

Damn he's like a young paul pierce for real

[@Solo_TV]

Shooting form and we can it’s from different players?

[@ofinterest7539]

He will be the best player from this rookie class

[@juiceboyosue6140]

Didn’t he also average like a few points lower in the playoffs then Kareem?

[@marklenardtan2336]

That release is too finesse

[@kevinlambanicio643]

Mamba mentality

[@wesleydass1746]

6:42 was nasty he got two people lmfao

[@andrewlusk3544]

Could you put Hayward at SG?

[@turzyn40]

[@worldtraveler8613]

2 years later he is killing the playoffs again

[@pm-five]

How have u not done one about curry. Not about his handle or athleticism, just an attention to detail about him

[@Jerbball.]

Goddamn he's good

[@meassoreach104]

Yo what's the beat in the background?

[@Bruh-pb5os]

Could I base my game off of kd im on 5'6 at 14 but I like his game
