00:00I want to thank a lot of people for my lead this morning. I want to thank Steve Kerr during the

00:05summer in the Olympics. I want to thank numerous national NBA experts. The way in which you've

00:12dealt with Jason Tatum since the last time he won a championship, the way you dealt with him

00:17during the Olympics, the way you dealt with him even as soon as as late as the beginning of this

00:25playoffs when he hurt himself and went down for him to come back. Jason Tatum is only the second

00:31Celtic to score 35 plus points in three straight playoff games. The last the only other Celtic to

00:37do that was Larry Bird. Jason Tatum is going to go off for the remainder of this run to shove it in

00:46everybody's face that wanted him dead in the water that wanted to to give all of the credit to all of

00:52the other players around him to give the credit to the lack of talent on other teams or how hurt

00:57other teams were last playoff run. And that's the only reason why Jason Tatum and the Celtics won

01:01the championship. Oh, Jason Tatum can't be the face of the NBA because he falls off in the playoffs.

01:06All of that is only going to lead to what we are seeing right now. And I want to take that first

01:12game of the playoffs out of contention because I get it. He sat during that game. But ever since he's

01:17been back, he has been lights out. And that is all to prove people wrong. So thank you to everybody

01:23who did that because it only made Jason Tatum stronger, angrier and more wanting to prove you

01:28all wrong. Let's do it again. I've been one of those people like I was dragging him and I was wrong

01:34about it. And he is last night. He took that game over. He's taken every game over since he's been

01:41back. Every game since he's been back has basically been put on his shoulder.
