Tatum is a great player, but almost every time I watch the Celtics play I come away feeling like I would much rather have Brown as a teammate. And feeling Brown is the superior player.
Last night was the clincher for me. After turning the ball over all game long, Tatum has a costly turnover late in the 4th quarter, does he run down the court and help his team on D. Nope lays on the ground pretending to hurt so people don't blame him for the turnover. Then a couple minutes later he is completely fine like nothing ever happened. Take that shit to the soccer pitch you little bitch.
It also made me about an all time great who should be mentioned in the greatest player of all time arguments with jordan and lebron. Wilt Chamberlain along with a couple others belong in the conversation.
Just a couple things about Chamberlain that no modern day player would ever have the guts to do:
In the 61-62 season Chamberlain average 48.53 minutes a game. Thats right due to a few OT games he average more minutes a game than the lenght of a game (48).
In his 16 year career, 11 of the years he averaged over 44 minutes a game and never average lower than 42 a game (Tatum sit you pussy ass down).
Also in 61-62 he averaged 50 points and 25 rebounds a game. Never average less than 20 rebounds an game in his career.
In 66-67 he average 24 points, 24 rebounds and 7.8 assists (3rd in the NBA) a game. Shot %68 from the field that season.
There are a ton more amazing stats by Wilt. A lot of people say he didn't play against anybody. Bill Russell, Kareem and other would disagree. Many of the centers wilt played against would dominate and push the stick figure centers of today right off the court.
Just some food for thought.
