    I remembered Molly was the only one picked the Celtics to win the Finals. lmao!
  • @lukeg9382
    Hilarious that one of the segments is if Tatum has silenced the critics...its like YALL ARE THE CRITICS lmao
  • Remember when people said Tatum & Brown wonโ€™t fit together? Now NBA Champions.
  • @tyemccatty763
    SAS is acting like Tatum hasnโ€™t become one of the most hated players in the leauge. Now he shut down the hate, give him his flowers ๐Ÿ’
  • I hope the media finally stop tryna put Tatum and Brown against each other, at this point they probably the best duo and they still getting better
  • @macmini2307
    This may sound crazy but brown and Tatum are the healthier and younger version of Kawhi and Paul George
  • In all seriousness though Celtics front office did what they had to do, hit on their draft picks with Tatum & Brown and put them in position to win and wasn't afraid to trade anybody for the sake of a championship.
  • @JohnnySensei7
    So ESPN covers this and the first king they do, is choose to STILL put them against each other
  • @cshameklis
    Stay over there espn we dont want any of you
  • Crazy how much the media switches. We knew from day 1 Tatum and Brown were special. Yet there were โ€œexpertsโ€ saying they should break up Brown and Tatum. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ banner 18!!
  • @JosephAluko
    So happy old man Al horford got a chip. LBJ has been abusing that man for decades ๐Ÿ˜…
  • @nicks6813
    Tatum and Brown got caught up in hero ball a few times (dribbling the clock down, taking a static 3) and thankfully Jrue made the ball move by cutting, and distributing.Thankful for Jrue and Derrick White. They were so key to this team's success.
  • ESPN was so invested in a Tatum MVP, and their headlines says it๐Ÿ˜‚
  • @SSJRome
    Brad Stevens is the real MVP of the Celtics .
  • 2008 kevin garnett- Anything's possible 2024 jason tatum - We did it
  • @REHYPHENUPSTV
    Knicks vs Philly was the best playoff moments of this year
  • Congratulations to the Barstan Celtics. Steph Curry didn't have a Finals MVP until his fourth ring...so no big deal. Shout out to Derrick White for achieving his final form (bald) and immediately winning a chip.
