Jayson Tatum: Coach K’s “soft a$$ St. Louis kid” tantrum

[@fignewton5796]

Graham gets the best interviews because he actually lets his guest speak without interruption… others in the media should take note

[@theelusivehombre9835]

Graham, you are single-handily the best conversationist of all time. These don't feel like interviews, these are whole conversations. That's the key, and that's why you surpass.

People calling it emotional abuse, all I see is motivating your players to do better. If you can't handle it then he's right. Prove him wrong.

[@Wharbuckz7]

His Dad would do this to tatum to get him going. because he was soft. But the comments called his dad an abuser. Smh people don't understand you have to unlock things in people sometimes in non political ways.

Now you understand why his dad was preparing him for the real world. He knew his son was gonna need that tough love more than Disneyland vacations.

*You gonna be good* 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@TheMrCrabz]

If Jayson Tatum’s dad was saying he was playing soft and Coach K was saying he was playing soft, then I don’t wanna see how he was playing back then. To this day when I watch the Celtics play I get frustrated and How soft he plays when he drives to the basket, the slightest of contact to the basket the ball is stripped away from him. Hold on to the Ball bruh.

[@donniewarren8363]

*stripped

100% I was thinking the same thing

[@ThuanTran-nv9yb]

Imagine bosses doing this. Parents doing this. But since it’s sports and the coaches are paid 8 mill… So in life when you make mistakes or aren’t perfect, it’s about humiliation and being chewed out? You can get intense and heated without the straight up insanity that you hear of about knight and k.

I'm born and raised in StL...I grew up hating Duke I'm a NC fan. So I was mad Tatum went to Duke. Then I was super mad he got drafted by Boston Celtics I hate them to lol us StL sports fans hate everything Boston. Patriots, Red Sox, and Bruins so glad our NHL team Stl Blues beat the Bruins for the Stanley Cup 5yrs ago. All that being said I would like to see the hometown kid win a chip and then leave Boston! 😂

Coach K is a West Point guy. Military background. Steel is forged in fire. You should read about Bobby Knight. He used to get physical with players.. bygone era for sure

Things have certainly changed over the last 25 years but It was a huge part of the culture of sports and the military once upon a time. I played bball in HS and college...also served time in the USMC. Right, wrong or indifferent this was the way things were.

Bob Knight took a shit, wiped his ass, and showed it to his team to tell them that’s what they’re playing like. Not a good example

Seems like over the top behavior from coach K. That's like some Bobby Knight shit. You can motivate your players w/out abusing them. Not a fan and never was a fan.
