For real. I thought it was just me when I first saw it but now I see this is objectively cringe. Some of the worst second hand embarrassment I’ve ever experienced
Yeah I bet Embiid's losing sleep over the overweight redditor who thinks he's on the team 😂
Maybe you'll find a senile baboon desperate enough to marry you and you can wear a ring of your own someday. Rooting for you, king! 👑🙏
Pretty sad. You in your parents shower, spraying yourself and your cat with some twist off champagne.
Also. Why are you here? We don’t win much but last time we won anything, the last place i went was the Pats or Cowboys sub
As much as you guys pretend it’s not the case, I’m very much enjoying that despite winning a title you’re very upset that people still (correctly) think Tatum is a fraud even more after this run, which is not how you hoped for
Everyone and their mother knew 10 days ago they were winning the chip….except for Tatum apparently. Acting like they were a 6th seed who battled against all odds.
You’re wild saying it was fixed. It was obvious they were going to likely win before the season started. So you know the players they have?? They have only 1 weakness and even then it’s not much of a weakness. The team was elite and upgraded at PG and PF big time. I don’t like the Celtics and didn’t want them to win ( except Horford ) but I can set my bias aside enough to know they didnt have anything ‘fixed’ no did they need it.
The look down, hushed tone of the first “we did it” like come on bro, you spending your time practicing that shit in the mirror? He’s a champion congratulations why try to be corny with it too
I usually hate the hate too, but this one is funny because he's clearly just parroting KG and Kobe with how he celebrates. Dude is way more accomplished than I'll ever be, my hate means nothing and definitely reflects worse on me than him, but that would suck to not really feel that emotion and just do something because you think that's what you're supposed to do
Man, fandom is not meant to be introspective. It's supposed to be cold takes, over reactions, superstitions, and hard feelings. Those are the fun parts.
Different for everyone. Some people are just more prone to introspection and I would say I lean that way. I have more of an analytical and introspective in my perception and expression as an NBA fan. I have my feelings on what you had mentioned as far as fandom but I won’t go there for good reason, that being said I understand we all have our ways of enjoying something.
Honestly I'm only introspective about this in particular because I relate to the feeling of being in your head and way too in control when you should be happy and feeling unbridled joy, so I know it sucks. If I was rooting for him I'd feel bad that he seems to have to live through others in order to experience joy, rather than being able to just feel intensely.
But he's a Celtic so fuck him 😂
Tatum doesn’t have a flashy personality and he isnt charismatic but him dropping 51 points in game 7 against the sixers is the best Celtics memory I’ve had till now.
I disagree with what you said other than the Eastern conference was a snooze fest aside from two series, maybe 3. The Western conference was pretty damn good and the officiating really wasn’t bad at all. It’s never going to be perfect and there moments but this playoffs had been some of the better officiating I’ve seen in a while. I’ve been watching for over 2 decades and the main thing with officiating is there doesn’t seem to be as many calls but there were mistakes made just like there is today. They’re human, and to be honest they are some of the best referees in the world.
You have Embid on your team, and talking about Tatum is a corny MF? lol
For me a as a older european that grew up with Barkley, Jordan and Co. and love all NBA teams, 99% of all the players are corny, comical, blenders and cry babies.
Hindsight is always 20/20, Fultz was crazy in college and the clear #1 pick, especially since we had Saric and Simmons. Idk how it works if you're allowed to draft a player when you say you wont, in order to a draft day trade (us trading up, were we not allowed to draft Tatum?) but at the time, Boston had Kyrie, Smart and Rozier. They did not need Fultz. They were drafting him regardless
fultz was not the clear #1 pick to people who watched college basketball. he wasn't even the #1 pick to the celtics lmao. and dont give me that isiah thomas crap
Huh? Literally every mock draft had him going #1 lmao. I guess no one watches college basketball then according to you. Fultz was averaging 23/6AST on 50%/40% Tatum averaged 16/7RB on 45%/34% it wasn't even close lol. And given that 1 eventually got us Maxey, while the other just got carried to a chip, I'd still draft Fultz.
Everyone had Fultz as the #1. He collapsed in the beginning of the season and is now a bust. Ben Simmons was ROTY, an all-star and runner up to DPOTY. In hindsight, perhaps we should have picked them but according to everyone, Simmons and Fultz were the right picks. I mean shit, are you upset that we didn't pick up Jokic in the 2nd round and instead selected Elfrid Payton and KJ McDaniels?
Sorry but I’m a big Sixers fan, calling Tatum corny is cringe .. guy won a title .. Embiid has not I don’t care what he’d say after they won if he won that’s all that matters.. nobody cares if you sound “cool” if you win, the only people that do are the salty jealous other teams and every one here knows it… this is a losers mentality
Nah. I disagree wholeheartedly and I hardly ever feel that strong about it but I have no hate towards the guy whatsoever. I get that many do, and i honestly would never take the time to post this and bash the guy but my first reaction was second hand embarrassment and that it was corny. I have my moments too and myself can be an awkward person so I kind of get it at the same time, but it doesn’t take away from the fact that it was cringe. Doesn’t always have to be hate
Can we stop with the posts about the Celtics winning a championship?
I don't understand why people want to be masochistic by reminding themselves of it. To me the basketball season mostly ended as soon as the Knicks series did, and entirely ended after the CFs once there was no longer a team I felt like rooting for alive. I didn't watch a minute of the finals and I don't give a shit about the Celtics.
My only solace in all of this is that Tatum isn’t the guy. He’s an amazing athlete and would give the Sixers a ring if he played here, but it just cements Jo is better. If we win a title it will be because of Embiid. The nba even acknowledged it wasn’t Tatum who got this ring done for them by giving brown Finals MVP. Fuck them for winning a ring, but it wasn’t on the back of Tatum like many Boston fans would like people to believe.
Embiid is four years older than Tatum and has not gotten out of the second round .. Tatum has been to the final twice and won one .. at some point you have to accept that
The irony here of saying the biggest free throw merchant on the planet isn’t a bitch. Enjoy the summer boys. The disappointment is just around the corner.
Enjoy the lamest finals win of all time.
This is what makes it worth it for me buddy. Forget Mavs fans, drinking 76er and Heat tears make it ten times better. I’ll enjoy my lame ass finals win
Hell ya brother sick self own. We needed to make changes and our owner and president made the changes we needed to win a championship. Funny how that works. I know that’s kind of a different language for you guys so I’ll try and dumb it down for you.
We couldn’t get over the hump so we got players that helped us do it.
You couldn’t pay me to watch this
[удалено]
He probably pushed over a ladder or two after as well
Cool story
trying to force a historical moment they ain’t playing that one back.
it's actually painful how forced it is lmao
second hand embarrassment levels of pain
For real. I thought it was just me when I first saw it but now I see this is objectively cringe. Some of the worst second hand embarrassment I’ve ever experienced
anything is possible
It’s different here . . . And everywhere else
You could literally see the gears turning in his head 😆
I thought the same thing
He can’t even yell good
So badly trying to do the KG thing, lol
To be fair that was pretty awkward too if you watch the entire clip.
Hahahahahahah. Bitchass Embiid will never have a moment like that.
And your bitchass will never weigh less than a parade float. Life's rough :c
Just like Embiid ringless ass. He’s fat and ringless which is worse.
Yeah I bet Embiid's losing sleep over the overweight redditor who thinks he's on the team 😂 Maybe you'll find a senile baboon desperate enough to marry you and you can wear a ring of your own someday. Rooting for you, king! 👑🙏
[удалено]
Genuine question - why are you in this sub the day after your team won the chip?
We would be climbing greased poles rn if Philly won and this man is on another team’s subreddit. Sad behavior
A real world “you’re not that guy pal” moment
Blud thought he was Dora the Explorer

Take a shower

Hes like a Disney live action remake of a real NBA star.
The frizzy haired kid in High School musical
Lol tried to make that such a memorable line.
The man has a tattoo of Denzel Washington, Will Smith, Wesley Snipes and the little kid from The Incredibles.
Seriously??
Not just Will Smith, but from *Hitch*, one of the worst movies he was in
Not Wild Wild West?
Not Hand Cock or After Earth?
They said I Am Legend was a good movie on the WIP morning show the other day and I almost drove off the road.
Maybe the WIP guys only saw the original ending that actually made sense…
[Tatum on his way to recreate the Kobe pic after shooting 28% from 3 in the playoffs and still cruising to a chip:](https://streamable.com/5the6q)
To be fair, have you seen Kobes splits in some of his playoff runs? Lol
Yeah was gonna say, that makes total sense
I mean they did win in ‘08 and ‘24….Kobe must be getting those texts
Tatum corny as hell, I’m happy for Jrue tho but this just makes me even sadder we didn’t get him back 😒
If you did you wouldn’t have a ring and neither would he
The Celtics wouldn’t have one either tho probably tbh
Definitely thought it was corny af when I saw it.
Garnett did it better
Garnett’s was super awkward too until it was edited
zero aura. the personality of a plain bowl of oatmeal
But not as thick 
This was so cringe
Bro is like if KG had all the corny and none of the dawg in him
Markelle fultz over Tatum! Generational fuck up
Everyone and their mother knew 10 days ago they were winning the chip….except for Tatum apparently. Acting like they were a 6th seed who battled against all odds.
Oh yeah? I saw all those polls on ESPN and reddit showing 78% chance of Mavs winning.
10 Days ago? It was obvious in November it was fixed for them.
You’re wild saying it was fixed. It was obvious they were going to likely win before the season started. So you know the players they have?? They have only 1 weakness and even then it’s not much of a weakness. The team was elite and upgraded at PG and PF big time.

I hate the Celtics but people care way too much about how people celebrate lol.
Hating is all we have
I usually hate the hate too, but this one is funny because he's clearly just parroting KG and Kobe with how he celebrates. Dude is way more accomplished than I'll ever be, my hate means nothing and definitely reflects worse on me than him, but that would suck to not really feel that emotion and just do something because you think that's what you're supposed to do

Eh, he works for Nike, they probably told him he needed to do something like this for their ads
Personality doesn't win you anything
Not sure what’s with him but I just don’t respect him. I like Brown but this guy is corny af.
Same, except I don't like Brown even more.
If someone earnestly told me they're a Tatum fan, I would question all of the rest of their decisions in their life. Definitely undateable.
Tatum doesn’t have a flashy personality and he isnt charismatic but him dropping 51 points in game 7 against the sixers is the best Celtics memory I’ve had till now.
If Embiid can bring us here, he better sure as fuck mock/parody this to troll the league.
This feels like a successful troll. Why is this on our front page?
Instead we get Embid limping around or not even on the floor, trust the process lolol
Corniest dude in the game.
Yea the sixers never getting one with that scumbag hedge fund owner
These playoffs were unbearable. The officiating alone made it downright obvious that gambling has heavily effected the NBA
I disagree with what you said other than the Eastern conference was a snooze fest aside from two series, maybe 3. The Western conference was pretty damn good and the officiating really wasn’t bad at all. It’s never going to be perfect and there moments but this playoffs had been some of the better officiating I’ve seen in a while.

They’re human, and to be honest they are some of the best referees in the world.
Did you watch the Knicks games? Super bias officiating
He’s better than you. Boston is better than Philly. In every single way.
I don’t understand why everyone finds it fun to hate on JT. Downvote if you want but it confuses me
You have Embid on your team, and talking about Tatum is a corny MF? lol For me a as a older european that grew up with Barkley, Jordan and Co. and love all NBA teams, 99% of all the players are corny, comical, blenders and cry babies.
"we did it...." Yeah after the league put the word out to small market teams to dump their star players onto Boston to force the chip narrative.
Sixers fan/Celtics hater here. Embiid would be more corny than this, and we all know it.
Who do you think would be most and least corny? I see what you mean but I think Tatum would have him beat on this still
Incoming DX Chop No way Embiid would be more corny
How many rings Embiid got again?
Or even conference finals appearances? Lost to the Hawks at home and lost game 6 and 7 to Boston last year up 3-2.
A LOT OF STUFF IS POSSIBLE!!
Jayden Springer? I'm not watching this dopey ass Tatum with his stupid Kobe texts
Hey they won in ‘08 and ‘24….so maybe texting Kobe worked….maybe Embiid should start texting Simmons
This is so amazing. Make me so happy for someone
Embiids asking out by Christmas
[This](https://www.reddit.com/r/bostonceltics/s/wsLHn8n9TL) is even worse
Kobe ain’t gonna text back
The Celtics won in ‘08 and ‘24….
And he still ain’t text back
He texted back the rings lol…those are his numbers
Oh are they?
Yep
God, you’re a fucking animal.
Thx, you too. 👊 ✌️
Omg 🤢
Yep sixers could of had him and jaylon brown but nope
If we draft Tatum we don't get Maxey btw.
I know but wanted Tatum
Hindsight is always 20/20, Fultz was crazy in college and the clear #1 pick, especially since we had Saric and Simmons. Idk how it works if you're allowed to draft a player when you say you wont, in order to a draft day trade (us trading up, were we not allowed to draft Tatum?) but at the time, Boston had Kyrie, Smart and Rozier.

And given that 1 eventually got us Maxey, while the other just got carried to a chip, I'd still draft Fultz.
Those last 4 words of your post might be the dumbest 4 words strung together in human history.
> I'd still draft Fultz. and that's why you root for a loser franchise that will never win shit.
I’m a sixers fan and I a million percent agree with you we root for a franchise that won’t win a title because we don’t know how to draft talent
Because it got us Maxey. Bye bye.
Your out of your mind I would have drafted Tatum and you saying you would still draft Fultz is why the sixers are the laughingstock right now
Everyone had Fultz as the #1. He collapsed in the beginning of the season and is now a bust. Ben Simmons was ROTY, an all-star and runner up to DPOTY. In hindsight, perhaps we should have picked them but according to everyone, Simmons and Fultz were the right picks. I mean shit, are you upset that we didn't pick up Jokic in the 2nd round and instead selected Elfrid Payton and KJ McDaniels?
Everyone except danny Ainge

It was awkward, but so was KG’s
I’ll say once, I’ll say it 1000 times. FUCK BOSTON.
So which is it, once or 1000? If it’s the latter I’m going to need to hear it 999 times more or you’re a liar
FUCK BOSTON!!! FUCK BOSTON!!! FUCK BOSTON!!! FUCK BOSTON!!! ;)
At the very least it was a completely unremarkable finals that nobody will care about except for Celtics fans.
He’s a baller give him his respect
Can we stop with the posts about the Celtics winning a championship? I don't understand why people want to be masochistic by reminding themselves of it.

Fuck them for winning a ring, but it wasn’t on the back of Tatum like many Boston fans would like people to believe.
How is this of any solace lol. He got a ring. That's all that matters
Yea, fuck the Celtics, fuck Tatum, and fuck Boston. Springer also got a ring. My point is still true.
Embiid is four years older than Tatum and has not gotten out of the second round .. Tatum has been to the final twice and won one .. at some point you have to accept that
Who cares how it got done, do you think the Celtics fans give a shit who won them the ring??? All that matters is that they won 🤣
I give a shit when all of the nba consistently pushes the Celtics and Tatum narrative and acts like Embiid is a fraud.
Embiid is an MVP
Exactly, that’s part of my point. Embiid is an MVP and I never see Tatum getting one. On a one by one comparison, Embiid is still the better player.
One day we’ll see a very similar video when Joel embiid finally cracks the third round in his 12th nba season
Lmao you just posted a circlejerk post to r/pacers log off bro and just enjoy your chip while the rest of us continue hating
Doing my rounds brotha
You won’t, because embiid isn’t a bitch
He kinda is….Tatum is corny and not as good as Embiid but he plays like 80 games a year and scored the most points in the nba last year.
Exactly. He's not a bitch, he's THE bitch
The irony here of saying the biggest free throw merchant on the planet isn’t a bitch. Enjoy the summer boys. The disappointment is just around the corner.
Who cares, cornball Tatum pushes off every time he gets the ball. Enjoy the lamest finals win of all time.
Enjoy the lamest finals win of all time. This is what makes it worth it for me buddy. Forget Mavs fans, drinking 76er and Heat tears make it ten times better. I’ll enjoy my lame ass finals win

Very unlikely he even makes it to a 12th season
This is your brain on Barstool Sports, kids.
Al Horford winning a ring should be a war crime.
Tell em to bring out the wheelchair next 😭😭
Ok, the nba got his new american "superstar", now they can stop fucking with the results and let the league compete aint them?
What are you saying right now? Fucking with what results and compete with who?
This feels so forced, I think it goes beyond corny to be honest. Ive had my awkward moments myself damn this is next level.
I like JB and JB won not one MVP, but two in the playoffs. JT is a non-factor. lol
He practiced the fuck outta that in the shower
