Tatum the next Lebron?

[KG Living Legend]

 If he gets to the finals again this year,  and we win it all. That's his fourth trip to the NBA conference finals at 24 years old. He's avg 30 ppg and almost 9 boards per game both better than Lebron at the same age.

 Although Bron has the physical advantage,  Tatum has the mental advantage and a smoother game and a better natural shot maker.

 These two players are much closer in talent than most people are aware of.

 Just ran into someone that reminded me that 2 years ago i told him that tatum was set to dominate the league.

 Tatums unreal I said, "yeah he's pretty good" No you don't understand,  he's filthy, he's much better than Pierce at the same age. "Better than pierce huh" knowing im a big Pierce guy.

 Tatum set to dominate the leauge.

I hope not — if Tatum leads Boston to a total of 10 Finals appearances, I want to see him go 9-1, not the paltry 4-6 that LeBron has.

 Obviously.  We all know Tatum is secretly better.  He just wont be hyped Like the "Chosen one"

[bopna]

nope.

he is close to Paul Pierce and Melo than Kobe nor LeBrick. Those two do not have bad scoring nights of 14 points on awful shooting percentages like what Tatum did against the Knicks.

Tatum is not the next someone because he is unique as himself.

This is just nonsense. Kobe has 16 career playoff games of below 30% FG shooting, 8 of which he scored less than 14 points, 3 of which were in the Finals. LeBron has 9 such playoff games, 2 of which were in the Finals.

You are being completely dishonest in your weird crusade against Tatum.

Tatum is not the next Lebron but he is off to an excellent career start.  I'm very happy with his progress.

 I don't mean next lebron like they are the same Player.  I mean the next SF set to dominate the leauge for 10 years, which if we win this year. He will be.

In terms of young(ish) true wings, the only one who is close is probably Jaylen. The rest of the younger stars are guards like Doncic & SGA, Morant and Edwards. Even guys like Young, Haliburton and co., all guards.

[SHAQATTACK]

No , he’ll never be that big of a butt hole .   

CP3 is the ultimate whiner with Legripe a close second .

[Donoghus]

Let's not have ourselves a self-serving, egocentric Decision for Tatum, shall we?

I don't think Tatum is going to dominate the league.  He is behind at least 4 players that aren't yet 30 i.e. Giannis, Jokic, Embiid, and Doncic.  Now they aren't SF's, but the league has rarely been dominated by SF's (really just Lebron and Larry to a lesser extent). 

[angryguy77]

No, but he could be a Kobe-light(maybe ever better) if he ever decides to fall out of love with the 3. His drive game is so smooth, it's being wasted on the perimeter.

You lost me at "Larry to a lesser extent". Bird was the best player in the league for at least 5 or 6 years.

Like it or not, Lebron has dominated for a lot longer than 5 or 6 years.

LeBron has played way longer but Bird was better in those 5-6 years than LeBron ever was. I'll give LeBron the nod for longevity.
