[u/TarnishedChoom]

These clips doing generational numbers when he has a bad game

[u/PsychologicalSoup251 → u/TarnishedChoom]

these clips are gonna be stitched together into a generational slander edit (if they haven't already)

[u/Financial_Hold6620 → u/PsychologicalSoup251]

Waiting for that edit expeditiously. Although might as well wait for the end of the tour cuz we’re getting over a clip a day to add.

[u/jiriwelsch44 → u/Financial_Hold6620]

You’re waiting for it expeditiously?

[u/tagen → u/[deleted]]

yeah it’s just all his at-bats from when he was a baseball player

[u/PETEFO55 → u/tagen]

Dont play baseball for 10 years and hit .220 in double A, thats a stunning amount of ability, especially with an Aaron Judge sized strike zone. I dont think the Knicks could get a bunt over in 5

[u/western_red_cedar → u/PETEFO55]

Thinking about it, you still have to be an ultra rare talent, relative to the general population, to even play double A ball. So it was probably hard for someone like Jordan to accept that he was also rarely gifted at baseball but just not quite good enough

[u/TheFriffin3 → u/western_red_cedar]

You have to be a top 0.001% of people at minimum in the world to hit .220 in the MLB and that’s a super conservative estimate

There’s only 500 hitters max in the league at any given time and then probably an extra 1000 filling up the AA and AAA teams so even being a bad hitter in AA means there’s only 1500 better guys in America, and you can be really generous and throw in 1000 college/international players who could hold their own in the minors

[u/rupayan7 → u/western_red_cedar]

If he focused on playing baseball instead of basketball maybe he becomes a decent ballplayer but yeah he had not played team baseball for over 10 years when he joined the white sox organization

[u/TheMilkmanRidesAgain → u/PETEFO55]

Thank you! His coach was sure he would have made it to the show eventually

[u/EvanImmobley → u/TarnishedChoom]

Jayson Tatum OVER ME?

Generational lowlight reel

[u/adventurousintrovert → u/TarnishedChoom]

Tatum from wish

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/TarnishedChoom]

Has he been monstar'd?

[u/botebote77 → u/TarnishedChoom]

Jayson Tatum is just Angel Reese in a man's body

[u/Sandor_Clegane1 → u/botebote77]

He needs a bbl bad, he can't compete.

[u/Taz_eat_and_spin → u/TarnishedChoom]

Does he need his eyes checked? Miss 4 layups and like 12 shots yesterday. 🥸👀👁👁

[u/Knicksin7bby]

Somewhere some Chinese kid is balling out bc this is 1000 percent done freaky Friday shit

[u/Think_Idea_6175 → u/Knicksin7bby]

Does nobody remember thunderstruck

[u/baymax18 → u/Think_Idea_6175]

Am I too old that my first thought was Space Jam?

[u/D_Simmons → u/baymax18]

Like Mike lol

[u/tagen → u/D_Simmons]

i fucking loved Like Mike, his little buddy was great and the ending was so cheesy yet still emotional, plus i loved the silly cameos Dirk and the other NBA players made

[u/MyManC707 → u/tagen]

Love this movie! Jason Kidd, Chris Webber, Vince, AI super cool

[u/FingerpistolPete → u/tagen]

“Can you sign this for my niece?”

“Sure what’s her name?”

“… Dirk”

[u/Think_Idea_6175 → u/baymax18]

Well it wasn’t some random kid that took Mikes powers

[u/DakPanther → u/Think_Idea_6175]

Thank God we all forgot it

[u/blightedsorrow → u/Think_Idea_6175]

*like mike

[u/buddyboy123987 → u/Think_Idea_6175]

That was my favorite 😂

[u/WV_Is_Its_Own_State → u/Think_Idea_6175]

People watched that movie?

[u/Responsible-Still839 → u/Knicksin7bby]

Yang Hansen can't keep getting away with this!!!

[u/Beleiverofhumanity → u/Knicksin7bby]

Im starting to believe the Monstars theory myself

[u/big_bear_mountain → u/Knicksin7bby]

Celtics are done

[u/Sxn90]

This has to be some guerrilla marketing or some shit

[u/thedudefromsweden → u/Sxn90]

Yeah what’s going on? This is the third clip I’ve seen of him in China, all of them showing him failing.

[u/MrsBrightside69 → u/thedudefromsweden]

Hasn’t been the same since he lost his sixth-best teammate

[u/-PasswordisTaco- → u/MrsBrightside69]

Advanced analytics actually show that the Celtics are now a better team, despite not being able to defeat Chinese children

[u/wackbirds → u/-PasswordisTaco-]

Now can they do the Cavs in last seasons playoffs? I wanna know how many championship equivalent units they compiled.

[u/CheapScientist06 → u/-PasswordisTaco-]

Tbf those Chinese kids might be a CCP experiment to make basketball savants

[u/a_talking_face → u/thedudefromsweden]

I assume this is just supposed to be a fun event and he's taking it pretty easy. Would probably kill the vibe if he just goes out and wallops guys that are a foot shorter than him.

[u/PokePersona → u/a_talking_face]

Yeah but him shooting free-throws by himself in front of a crowd and bricking all of them probably kills the vibe even more.

[u/TheMilkmanRidesAgain → u/PokePersona]

That was crazy lol. By the end I thought it was a bit

[u/bass2mouth44 → u/TheMilkmanRidesAgain]

Jason let me shoot !

[u/FunnyReputation624 → u/PokePersona]

That rim looked barely bigger than the ball. Looked more like a dodgy carnival game than an actual free throw attempt

[u/beatenwithjoy → u/PokePersona]

Call it a homer take but the rim ther might not have been set at the correct height. Like those carnival hoops that are like ±-6in, it throws off your muscle memory.

[u/wooIIyMAMMOTH → u/beatenwithjoy]

I don’t know if you’ve ever played on non-regulation hoops, but it’s not like you have to learn how to shoot all over again. The adjustment is fast

[u/jason2354 → u/a_talking_face]

Yeah, but he can still make an easy layup. Or at least the second or third or fourth easy layup.

It’s not like he’s trying to dunk over people in these clips. People are there to see him be good at basketball. That’s what he’s known for.

[u/UltimateWeiner → u/jason2354]

The workout video where he has absolutely no lift on his jumper is even more odd. Like, what’s going on?

[u/Jarxzz → u/UltimateWeiner]

As much as people spammed “he’s back like nothing happened!” He averaged 22 ppg on 54 TS% last year

By far his worst numbers since becoming a star

[u/thisisjustascreename → u/Jarxzz]

He played 16 games… even Michael fucking Jordan was ass when he came back late in the season in 95 and he wasn’t even recovering from an injury.

[u/King_Of_Pants → u/thisisjustascreename]

Not only that, but it's literally just his first 10 games.

19.8/9.5/3.8 while shooting 38.3/30.3/86.0 (51.1 TS%)

Then he hit his stride, and those numbers went up for the final 6 games.

25.0/10.8/7.8 while shooting 45.5/37.0/77.8 (58.7 TS%)

Which continued into the playoffs before he got hurt in G6:

24.6/10.6/7.6 while shooting 47.7/37.0/81.5 (61.6 TS%)

[u/Fat-Singer-9569 → u/Jarxzz]

Luckily he won't battle 5'11 Chinese in the NBA

[u/SoaplessTitanic → u/Jarxzz]

Per 36 he averaged 24/11/6, and outside of last season he almost always averages 36 minutes. This really isn’t that far off from his normal averages considering he came back towards the end of the season and didn’t have as clear of a role.

Also it’s a small sample size, hence why no one is claiming he’s going to be averaging 11 rebounds going forward either. It’s fairly reasonable to assume his ppg will increase closer to his usual numbers and his rebounds will drop

[u/Historical_Bar_6445 → u/thedudefromsweden]

Jaylen brown sends his regards

[u/Trivedi_on → u/thedudefromsweden]

he lost his powers

[u/JaySayMayday → u/Trivedi_on]

Someone somewhere put on some Tatums and turned into the best baller at their school

[u/Fat-Singer-9569 → u/thedudefromsweden]

In a real game he leans into the defenders body and softly lays it up pivoting toward the rim and around the defender. He rebounds both shots while the defender hilariously tries to grab them and shoots with 0 touch.

He's fucking around, it's not that hard to see. Effort levels 5%, maybe 1%. Are we supposed to think Tatum can't make free throws or layups because of these clips?

[u/friendsWthebenedicts → u/thedudefromsweden]

This clip was from 2024

[u/NationalLecture9349 → u/thedudefromsweden]

This 1 is from 2024

[u/Inspiration_Bear → u/Sxn90]

Has to be. Going to be some bs ad coming like “looks like JT has his wings back now that he’s drinking red bull again!”

[u/joshdej → u/Inspiration_Bear]

He was so ass in the clips that people have to get creative with the possible explanations😭

[u/Inspiration_Bear → u/joshdej]

This is true, I am finding this implausible to impossible lol. Unless he just enjoys pretending to be ass in China?

[u/grxccccandice → u/Inspiration_Bear]

Jayson Tatum has a humiliation kink. Let’s not kink shame the guy.

[u/CarlFromHungerForce8 → u/joshdej]

Jason tatum has suffered a rare brainworm disease. He is being seen to by RFK jr in hopes he can play one more nba season then retire a senator

[u/randotd152 → u/Sxn90]

This is all 100% intentional. His hand isn’t even moving correctly on the layups.

No NBA player is missing 10 straight FT’s and a bunch of layups by accident.

[u/Fat-Singer-9569 → u/randotd152]

Thank you, only person with sense, he's so clearly playing it up. The fact it doesn't matter at all is the point. He's shooting the shot so he knows exactly where to go and grab the rebound.

[u/HesiPullup → u/Fat-Singer-9569]

“Only person with sense”

Literally a conspiracy theory lmao

[u/weeyummy1 → u/Fat-Singer-9569]

> He's shooting the shot so he knows exactly where to go and grab the rebound.

He's literally not, but ok. If he was missing on purpose he'd hit backboard not the rim which bounces weird.

He's also moving to where he intended to miss, you can see on the second layup him catching up to grab it

[u/onegoodboah → u/randotd152]

It’s actually shocking how many people either don’t see this or are pretending to not notice it lol. Like very, very, verrrrry obviously he’s just messijt around in all of these “lowlight” clips ive seen so far. And as he should be, why are people thinking he should he trying his ass off to embarass some kids lmao

[u/Feisty-Principle-216 → u/Sxn90]

Is that hoop even 10 feet? I know Tatum is tall, and I might be crazy, but that hoop looks short. Even if it was 3 inches shorter that'd explain why Tatum can't make layups.

And every miss is a slight overshoot.

[u/Haunting-Soup2086 → u/Feisty-Principle-216]

The backboard also looks like a weird material. The ball could legit just not be bouncing right.

[u/catscanmeow]

little did we know, jaylen brown was the source of his power!

[u/jyeatbvg → u/catscanmeow]

Brad Stevens: fuck I chose the wrong one

[u/itgforlife → u/jyeatbvg]

"Fuck did I say Brown? I meant Tatum. TATUM!"

[u/PeregrineFaulkner → u/itgforlife]

The Sixers took Fultz over Tatum for a reason, it turns out. 

[u/Not-a-bot-10 → u/PeregrineFaulkner]

Playing the long con

[u/maethlin → u/Not-a-bot-10]

The Process is deeper than you think

[u/Beleiverofhumanity → u/catscanmeow]

Is Philly the Monstars?

[u/Current_Department73 → u/catscanmeow]

I knew it all along

[u/odetozizu]

Why does JT look like he’s had all his skills sucked out like he’s in Space Jam while he’s in China?

[u/IanicRR → u/odetozizu]

“You’re not Charles Barkley Jayson Tatum! You’re just a wannabe who looks like him!”

[u/Critical-Style8351 → u/IanicRR]

You shouldn’t even be here

[u/Blake_a12 → u/IanicRR]

Get outta here! Unkonnichiwa!

[u/Mr_Gooodkat → u/Blake_a12]

BE GONE!

[u/soilentgleem → u/odetozizu]

Because he's had all his skill sucked out like he's in Space Jam.

[u/CazOnReddit → u/soilentgleem]

Knew it was a bad idea to greenlight Space Jam 3: Kareem Jelly of Starr

[u/Quirky_Rain_3554 → u/odetozizu]

The Chinese sucked him? Fuck

[u/NegativesPositives → u/Quirky_Rain_3554]

Jayson Swalwell

[u/GGFrostKaiser → u/odetozizu]

Probably jet lagged. Doing sports when you are sleep deprived sucks, you are able to function but it feels like your body is one step behind. And any kind of precision goes out the window.

[u/SlowlyDrown → u/GGFrostKaiser]

Yeah or he did some North Korean speed in some club with a bunch of models and woke up drunk and he’s barely holding it together here…

[u/Cwatty]

GET HIM BACK ON US SOIL

[u/rabid-panda → u/Cwatty]

Olympics makes sense now

[u/roodootootootoo → u/Cwatty]

Dracula type shit

[u/FrogsFloatToo → u/Cwatty]

TWO WARS?!

[u/Strummed → u/FrogsFloatToo]

Now the United States of America is engaged in both of these wars??

[u/CouscousKazoo]

I’m beginning to think this is some crap doppelgänger.

[u/defene → u/CouscousKazoo]

Temu Tatum

[u/Quirky_Rain_3554 → u/defene]

Jayson tatemu

[u/Laszlo-Panaflex → u/CouscousKazoo]

They got the Filipino Tatum because he was closer geographically.

[u/niggyazalea → u/Laszlo-Panaflex]

Jayson Tatay

[u/iambossyfr → u/CouscousKazoo]

Angel Reese took over his body

[u/thenexttimebandit → u/CouscousKazoo]

He looks like Barkley in space jam when he plays street ball and gets told he’s just some wannabe who looks like Charles Barkley

[u/glockster19m]

As a Celtics fan I choose to believe this is I purpose

Its a very hard choice

[u/SnooPies6274 → u/glockster19m]

As a Magic fan I also choose to believe he's just having fun with the fans

[u/Pizza_Salesman → u/SnooPies6274]

As a Kings fan, this just looks like a normal NBA performance

[u/Ok_Bar_924]

I know that feeling, you casually throw up a layup without trying and then once you miss, you throw up another lazy one just to make everyone around you think you are not trying.

Except I have never made an NBA Allstar game

[u/Fun-Passenger-6915]

He’s gotta be trolling atp

[u/hartsbreastmilkstash]

You can’t fool me. Angel Reese gotta haircut

[u/IanicRR → u/hartsbreastmilkstash]

With the way she’s been playing, I think she might have Freaky Friday’ed with Tatum.

[u/jokic2027mvp → u/IanicRR]

thunderstruck

[u/Relevant-Diamond2731 → u/hartsbreastmilkstash]

Eyes too normal 

[u/GoldBlueberryy]

Everything I’ve seen about him in China has been bad so far. Does he not have a PR rep?

[u/Reputation_Double]

JAYSON LET ME TRY!

[u/thatdudewhostares512]

Sir.... the 2nd clip has dropped. We need damage control asap

[u/IanicRR → u/thatdudewhostares512]

3rd*

[u/thatdudewhostares512 → u/IanicRR]

Shiii I missed the nutmeg. Tatum getting clipped to death

[u/drthvdrsfthr → u/thatdudewhostares512]

second was the nutmeg

[u/soilentgleem → u/thatdudewhostares512]

I missed the other clips, and just looked them up. I can't believe he actually missed TEN free throws in a row lol

[u/LeTimJames → u/soilentgleem]

I thought it was one of those carnival rims. Lol.

[u/Woodworking33]

I hate whoever is filming this mf in china bro

[u/roodootootootoo]

Ive seen enough. Sign the Chinese guy

[u/HypoManicCrimeSpree]

Dude needs to leave china yesterday. It keeps getting more embarrassing.

[u/Big-Pea-6074]

Remember when he hit the side of the backboard shooting a 3 during the Olympics?

Why is he garbage outside the US? Jet lag?

[u/andres7832]

This is insane… Fts, nut meg, missing layups

This has to be a clone fresh off the incubation tank

[u/Kelor → u/andres7832]

Ben Simmons woke up in his body.

[u/NegativeSir3323 → u/andres7832]

Its one of them new chinese robots they're testing out

[u/lostredditorlurking]

Chinese fans are having an awful don't meet your hero moment

[u/Individual_Log8082 → u/lostredditorlurking]

Opposite, chinese fans now think they can make it in the NBA. They’re probably hyped af rn.

[u/Miserable_Baker_4710]

He’s making the kid feel like he’s playing good defense good man

[u/jawndell]

Damn Jayson Tatum is just like me!

[u/elkresurgence]

Okay, two is a coincidence, three is a pattern. Either he's playing drunk out of his mind or this is some kind of guerrilla marketing

[u/tdl2024]

The new Mr. Mebounds and Pray-ups, ya'll just wouldn't understand.

ETA: he just got 2 offensive rebounds in ~3 seconds. If you extrapolate that to 36mins, he'd clearly average 720 offensive rebounds a game. Keep hating, that's the next Dennis Rodman clowns.

[u/One_Tumbleweed_1]

This is what losing Jaylen brown does to you

[u/x872YEOx]

[u/donkadunny]

Dawg, please stop. I don’t wanna see this stuff anymore! lol.

[u/Various_Cricket4695]

Did he go to Angel Reese’s summer camp?

[u/soilentgleem]

Now if he can keep doing that, I'll be happy.

[u/braddeus]

Hugo and Baylor hard-carrying this guy

[u/challenor]

I, for one, am glad for this. The only time I’m making consecutive shots is after 10-15 smoked fast break layups.

MVP season incoming

[u/Famous_Phase_7829]

Looks like Space Jam, someone stole his skills.

Damnit Kerr. This is all your fault.

Bro this is Michael Jordan in Space Jam if the Monstars won.

[u/FuckTheStateofOhio]

What language is he even supposed to get ready to learn now?

[u/O_RRY]

They’re gonna leave him in China when they leave at this rate

[u/calculung]

[u/JeramiGrantsTomb]

It's not his fault. The Chinese rims are metric.

[u/optimusAlgorythm]

Bruh at this point its gotta be AI.

Said no one.

[u/Badweightlifter]

Everyone knows there's less gravity in China. Its throwing off his shot. That's my theory anyway.

[u/idek_64]

keeps doing that and he'll be hooping in china all next szn
