Kobe taught Tatum his signature moves and now Tatum is in the finals

I just hope he doesn't perform like Kobe in the finals

Tatum fell in love with the long 2 like Kobe and had a disaster of a season.

Tough question :lol

Both are sub 25 ppg dudes with mediocre defense and passing. Kobe has worse efficiency and Curry shoots the 3 better. I guess I gotta go Curry. Damn...

Well, Kobe did win two FMVPs......

Tatum worked out with Kobe between his rookie and sophomore seasons.
Tatum then proceeded to somehow have a worse sophomore season than his rookie season.
It took Tatum a whole season to "shake the Kobe off" before he could get back to his normal trajectory of improving his game.
And if Tatum plays like "finals Kobe" these finals, then the Celtics are in serious trouble.

Nerd...basketball isn't "karate" where you "teach moves". He worked out with him doing fade aways, same thing he did with Irving and a list of other players.

Same way Oljawon worked with players on the post.

[SouBeachTalents]

Well, he sure shot like him in Game 1.

Kobe taught Tatum MJ's signature moves.

Kobe taught Tatum MJ's signature moves.

You really think Tatum will quit the league in his prime???

Thoughts?

He used to dominate Lebron's nemesis such as Dwight Howard, Paul Pierce while Lebron was losing to them with HCA.

Will Tatum 3 peat with 3 finals mvp's and 2 league mvp's and leading the league in scoring along with 3 all nba first teams and 3 all nba defensive first teams for a franchise that never won prior to them being there?

Bryant didn't dominate Pierce and I don't recall James losing to the Celtics with hime court advantage. James was actually tougher for Pierce to deal with individually but d he had both beat and lost to both players.

Okay, Tatum had his Kobe tribute finals shooting % game in game 1, but he better stop messing around for the remainder of the series...

:lol

Bailed out by Horford, just like Kobe was with Gasol :lol

Some stories just write themselves

[AirBonner]

Tatum played like the ghost of Kobe for this entire series. Like he wasn’t there.

[MrFonzworth]

Tatum did his best 2011 LeBron impression this series. Tough to watch.

[TheGoatest]

The tribute is complete. He truly was Kobe-esque throughout these finals.
