Stephen A. calls Mad Dog a Grinch for his Jayson Tatum take 👀 | First Take 

Definitely is trolling lol look at his face after saying wat he said about Brandon ingram

I can name you 15 players right now better than he is that even you will have to admit are better than him. Stop it just stop it

He did say he's top 6-7

@@MrSuperman957 he named 6-7 guys he thinks are better. He didn't really make his point. He said he wasn't too 10 then failed to name 10 players better than him

@@pepperdeez if u think theres even close to 15 players better than Tatum u have no credibility

I’m a Lakers fan and I agree with this

Exactly AD is overrated. Dude is always injured, not a leader and he’s not a number 1 on a championship team so how is he better than Tatum

Def gave you more than AD did this season.

You only say that bc of injury. Skill wise AD is better

@@wayno115 who’s better defensively ? AD. He is injured all the time but skill wise he’s a top guy. AD hasn’t had a chance to be the #1 on a championship teams. Jayson Tatum has only averaged 23+ 3 times while Ad has done it multiple times while still being efficient.

What?!? LOL

@@mikeyisniceha the audacity of mad dog 😂🤣

Mad Dogg is dead wrong on that

nah ingram gonna be better

I said the same thing my g

Yea a clown

Thats hops in his DeLorean when its time to head home 🏎💨

Yeah, idk why they keep putting this clown on tv. Smh

@@sangohkim46 bubble don’t count lmao and it was more of a choke job by sixers as a whole first time Celtics beat them. We led going into 4th quarter in all them games. Tatum isn’t top 10 yet. He will be just not yet

Embiid is better than Tatum though come on lol

@@eddie9573 tbh I rather have Jayson Tatum then embid, i think he’s can do morep

I don't think you know what hate is

when you start listing the top 10 players in the league you will start to realize how idiotic you sound putting jason tatum there 😂 😂

@@chandlerdavidson8476 wouldn't say idiotic, he's exactly 10th, even including Kawhi and AD. 1. Kawhi 2. Giannis 3. Durant 4. Curry 5. Jokic 6. Luka 7. LeBron 8. Healthy AD 9. Embiid 10. Jason Tatum

@@russellwestbrookyellingatw9381 You did not rank AD Ahead of him😂😂

but he is not top 10 player

in a bad way. He is very ignorant

@@theassassin9326Not really. He said in this video that Tatum is arguably top 8. Right now, 2 years later, and he’s not even Top 10. Mad Dog was right 😂

19*

Here’s ur 10 1: Durant 2: Giannis 3: Joker 4: Embiid 5: Lebron 6: Curry 7: Luka 8:Kawhi 9:Kyrie 10 Ice Trae

@@maxavierbenitez7013 trae young is not better then jayson Tatum 😭😭😭😭

@@maxavierbenitez7013 you can definitely make an argument Tatum is better than Trae

@@maxavierbenitez7013 your top 6 is understandable as of right now, but there’s major flaws in the rest of the list. Luka has never won a playoff series. Kawhi may be a better player but he hasn’t played a game this season. Kyrie and trae young have and never will be the two way star that Tatum is.

@@maxavierbenitez7013 1a/1b: KD/Giannis 3: Curry 4: Jokic 5: Luka 6: Embiid 7: Tatum 8: Lebron 9: Kawhi 10: AD *If everyone is fully healthy, but health with the last 2 are historically bad enough u could argue taking them off

And he shouldn’t lol

He was always going to Boston though would’ve used the first pick if Philly really wanted Tatum they had the pick

AD just gotta worry about staying on the court. Doesn't matter where anybody ranks him.

Brandon Ingram sure was an upgrade for the Pelicans 😂😂 we're still waiting for Zion.

Bruuh. Brittle ahhh bones

You’re delusional if you think Tatum is light years ahead of Ingram. Ingram that dude too

Stop it, ingram can compete with him on any day

Let's see Ingram defend Kevin fkin Durant a whole game, and give you 30 on the other end.

Light years is a bit disrespectful to Ingram, but I’d say he’s better. Still Ingram could outplay him any night as well.

Tatum is better but I wouldn’t say light years

Yeah they in Lukas hands

@@antoniooviedo5552 no cap, Luka is the one

🧢 Luka has never made it out of the first round of the playoffs. Luka and Tatum are on the same level, I would argue. Both are young ascending NBA stars.

@@jeremiahelliott luka is way better than Tatum and it isn’t his fought he hasn’t been out of the first round he has did all he could he just didn’t have any help and he was playing against the fully loaded clippers with pg and Kawhi both times

@@DBZSTAY don’t anoint him yet until he wins a couple of rounds

I think he was saying around booker not a good team. Maybe not the best way to put it but I understand what he was saying. Without Booker they are going to struggle hard because Paul can't carry the offensive load and Bridges and Ayton are so reliant on Booker and Paul creating for them. They don't have a true #2 scorer on this team and are very reliant on Booker offensively. As good as Bridges is he showed 0 improvement this year in pts, reb, ast, and his 3pt shooting dropped 6%. To ask him to be your #2 wing scorer is a bit scary. It's even scarier their defense has been so bad in the 1st 2 games. The defense should be the constant (look at what DAL has done to Utah despite not having Luka). The fact they are giving up buckets, and now are missing their best offensive player, could spell a little trouble.

Well put. I agree with a lot of your points. I think as a team in the regular season they were able to figure it out when Booker missed games. Their others haven’t been as effective, Crowder especially. I think they should still play well enough to win the series, but we’ll see.

He’s also talking about Devin booker being considered for mvp and starts naming his teammates as if he’s a Celtic. SMH. Lol

He said they don’t have a great team

this aged well, becasue look at them now. He proved me wrong too. Dogg knows his stuff.

How old is he?

@@milanskrbic4614 19

I've been saying that to friends alot lately. It's seems that across all platforms these talking heads have dismissed the fact that this Celtics core is accustomed to making deep playoff runs. Hasn't resulted in a championship yet but they have so much experience to fall back on and it's as if the NBA community has forgotten that

Wow and he's only 21 years old!

Hes not better than in no order Lebron Kawhi Kd Giannis Curry Jokic Embiid Kyrie PG Luka I can see an argument for him over PG and kyrie for missed time but thats 9th at best its not really a lock.

Actually 3!

micheal olusanya I’ll take him easily over PG. and Kawhi we have to see him come back..his career hasn’t been impressive since the Toronto ring. I think Tatum is the best player 25 and under not named Luka. Luka also hadn’t made it out of the 1st round and will probably not this year either 🤷🏾‍♂️

I agree with everything u said except when u said he's better than embiid lol

@@Muristacks he is better

@@Muristacks yea idk what he’s talking about. Embiid arguably could’ve been over Rudy for DPOY and he just won the scoring title. You have lost your marbles sir. Embiid>Tatum. But Tatum is def still an amazing player

Players better than tatum: LeBron , Giannis , KD , Jokic , Embiid , Curry and Kawhi when healthy but that's rare so I can see people putting Tatum over Kawhi

He is also better than analytics hero jokic. Give me an elite 6’7 wing who plays both sides

He's an idiot. Can't stand him tbh

He’s tripping. Like Luka is top 10, and close to top 5 even, but it’s because of his talent, individual accolades, and numbers. Not because of playoff success lol. And Tatum has entered the top 10 too.

Let’s be real luka is better than Tatum

@@GeneralBlaze95 wht makes luka better? Tatum is miles better on defense 😂 same argument with giannis and KD imo. KD is more offensively skilled but gianni’s clears on defense so i thjnk gainnis is better because he can match KD offensively even tho the skill level doesn’t match. Same with tatum and luka, luka won’t lock up KD while dropping 30 like tatum would. I love luka but he’s not better than tatum imo and tatum has had more playoff success as the first option as well

@@GeneralBlaze95 I love luka but he’s overhyped dude, lukas usage rate is miles over tatum so he’ll average more assist but that doesn’t mean he’s making them better. I’ll take tatum defense with him averaging 5 assist and 30 points in far less usage rate than luka , the ball moves more in tatums offense. While also like i said tatum completly clears luka on defense , peiole value offense too much. Same thing him saying kyrie is better than tatum no he’s not 😂

@@TheBlackestKnight21 yeah I agree his usage rate is mad high but the mavs need him in order to be successful and every talks about him not having success in the playoffs but he played great his team just wasn’t good enough

Kawhi Lebron Curry Djokic Embiid Ja Morant Luka KD Kyrie are all better than him. Clearly

He is definitely in the conversation, I didn’t include Harden, as you already know the reason 1. KD 2. Giannis 3. Jokic 4. Embiid 5. Curry 6. Kawhi 7. Luka 8. Lebron 9. AD if healthy 10. It’s a toss up between Ja, Tatum & Book

@@Droselover-hu1gt Ja is not better than him lmaoo

@@Droselover-hu1gt also Giannis

@@timsweeney684 facts. Niggas just dickriding ja this year. Ja not even better than dame….. nor Kyrie

Pat4Clippers you were commenting this exact same thing about Edwards yesterday. Flip flopping jinx

Tatum is 6’10 and his game is nothing like Paul George he is more skilled, talented, clutch and more physical so I don’t understand that comparison a better comp for Tatum would be T-Mac, Kobe or a player of that caliber not PG

Max and Stephen A are must see tv

SA needs people on First Take that’ll make him the smartest dude in the room or that he can demolish in a debate, Max made him feel the opposite of that so SA needed him to go

@@3PlC3R1C ding ding ding. Correct.

hes such good tv tho

I disagree, I like this new format better. The SAS and Max format was getting boring. Having a rotation of Athletes and personalities makes the show more interesting in the long run. Skip was still a better cohost than Max, he was funnier and had absurd but really interesting arguments but Max is smarter and a better debater. Still though, I think Skip & Shannon has more chemistry than Skip & SAS.

Lol Tatum has won exactly zero championships and is nowhere near the playmaker lebron is. If lebron is in the playoffs he is trying. Unless you honestly think anyone would trust tatum in a 7 game series over lebron

@@Cheezkrispies131 Yeah LeBron is a better playmaker. That's it. Tatum is a much more versatile and efficient scorer who knows how to shoot not go on hot streaks and he actually defends. DEFENSE wins games DEFENSE wins championships. You've obviously never played the sport, defense is the most important end of the floor. I'd 100% take Tatum over LeBron every day of the week now because he's a lot younger, tries and plays well on the most important end of the floor. Now if it was LeBron from 10 years ago then of course I'm taking LeBron, but rn he's old, he has no future and he can't even play the game properly and is fooling all you delusional people that have no idea about the game with empty stats

Kyrie, Jamal Murray..

Def Kyrie though

give me book over tatum everyday

Nooooo u gotta have kyrie in there before ja, but that aside I might give it to book because of what we have seen from him, but Tatum could take it depending on how the playoffs go

Damian lillard

🤡🤡

@@andrerandall7873 how is that a clown take? Kyrie hasn't had a good playoff moment since leaving Cleveland he went and joined Boston they made a conference finals without him, he came back into the line-up they got beat in 5 by Milwaukee with Kyrie shooting 30% from the floor, he leaves and we add Kemba who is a worse approximation of Kyrie and make a conference final? Now he's in Brooklyn and they got swept. He's not a superstar, if he's the best player on your team you aren't winning anything, he's unreliable, he's not a leader and he doesn't make people better. Tatum is way better than him at this point

😂😂😂 of course you would

@@spotemgotem8151 anyone with any basketball knowledge and common sense would! Tatum is 6 inches taller, 6 years younger, is just as effective and prolific of a scorer (higher PER), and he is RELIABLE and rarely ever gets hurt or misses game. It’s no contest.

Kawhi

😂

Top 15 for sure. 10, nah.

jokic, embiid, booker, durant, kahwi are all not better than tatum. neither is chris paul

no

Nah. Tatum will be in the top 5 discussion, but Luka will be #1. I love Tatum though. Tatum is just so fun to watch and he has taken another jump this season with defense and getting others involved.

Basketball is a team game

Question is.. is Tatum a top 5 player? Is Tatum about to b better than Jordan,

No way booker & Luka are ahead of him & his resume is deeper than both. Especially in playoff wins
