Convinced Perk only has a job to stir up engagement via negative comments about Perk.

The fans obviously donβt want Tatum you canβt force fans to acknowledge someone as the face cuz you want them to be

The world dont feel the way perk feel about JT cause dont nobody know anything about JT. I aint never seen him go live on IG no nothing and he so politically correct and boring in every interview. I like JT as a player but other then that im cool off JT.

SGA has the most to gain this postseason. He led his team to the #1 seed in the West and heβs about to win MVP. If SGA wins a championship, itβll put him in elite company amongst the all time greats.

You can think LeBron for the way Windy destroyed Perk. All I can hear is Shannon saying βFight Back Perkβ π π π

The titles influence the majority of the comment section. The vast majority of you are unserious people. Google the average state IQ, it’s less than confidence inspiring.

THANK YOU WINDY! ESPN thinks not being the biggest star in the league = a punishment. IDK how they keep saying Tatum is disrespected. He wants more, Perk? Be better than Jokic, Luka, Shai, etc. or build a legacy like LBJ, Steph, KD.

Jaylen Brown was not the best player on the Celtics in the ECF or the Finals. I’m not gonna degrade Brown cause he’s awesome and he’s a dope dude, but you just don’t have a nuanced understanding of basketball at all. Tatum is clearly a top 5 player in the league. The normal stats, advanced stats, and eye test all say it. For God’s sake, he averaged 30 10 and 7 in the Eastern Conference Finals. Lmao

Windy so great
And he should’ve been WOJ’S successor instead of stuttering Shams
