Jayson "The Problem" Tatum

[DrJasper]

I read this nickname under a video the other day and kinda like it to be honest 

LeBron James said after the Lakers/Celtics game that this guy (Jayson) is an absolute problem in an Instagram post, after Tatum scored 41 points on them and could only be stopped through aggressive double teams. And this game was kind of a breakout game for him on the biggest stage (eventhough we lost..) But he definitely earned a lot of respect by one of the greatest of all times that night!

What do you think?

Would love to see LeBron James "Knight" Tatum...much like Shaquille O'Neal "knighted" Paul Pierce...

Maybe "Absolute"? Isn't that a whiskey brand, though?

Jayson Tatum needs to show off in an epic NBA Finals series...he does this and SOMEONE will give him a solid nickname, lol.

My belief is that someone like Kobe could've knighted Tatum as well - since he personally trained with him and knew him from a little kid



But knowing Kobe he probably would've tried to "Mamba" Jayson away from BOS lol.....

RIP Kobe (and Gigi)

I believe you may be thinking of Absolut Vodka. Pretty good stuff, but not worthy of Tatum. He's more of a Grey Goose level player.

I like The Problem nickname since it is reminiscent of Paul Pierce. It doesn't have quite the same ring as the The Truth but it has a similar origin for how it came into existence.

I'd like to see the nickname The Fix - more positive than The Problem

Please put it away from my eyes. I dont wanna see Tatum wear such an ugly Jersey.
