I know the post is tongue-in-cheek, but if anything it's going to be a huge confidence booster for Tatum moving forward. Aside from Kobe, his two other idols are Leonard and Paul George. He clearly outplayed Leonard, and did very well against him 1 on 1 defensively on back to back plays. Whatever doubts Tatum had about his own game will probably disappear after this win. The sky is the limit.
Watching Tatum's development and Jaylen Brown's emergence as a two-way star has been by far the best parts of this season (which has been really enjoyable).
