Apparently, "the Anomaly" has been added to his Basketball Reference profile.  I was hoping for "Silent T" as he's been such a quite superstar (maybe Subtle T) would be better, but I think we can all agree he's earned the right to a nickname.

Idk about that one. Kinda sounds like a character from The Boys that Homelander likes to use as a whipping boy.

Lol it's been all over Twitter over the past month, people trying to think of a nickname for Tatum. Many have tried "The Anomaly" and even some accounts like Statmuse have posted it in their recent JT posts. It's not the worst but it's a little weird IMO.

Others considered online are: "Shamrock Samurai", "Duke of Boston", "Green Reaper", "The Show", "St. Louis Sniper", "The Alchemist", "The Blueprint", "Green Goblin", "Green Lantern", "The Hulk" (if he adds even more muscle/mass), "Tatum Tornado", "Green Tornado", etc.

Personally JT is cool and simple, but I think "Shamrock Samurai", "Green Goblin" and "Green Reaper" are pretty cool. Maybe "The Blueprint" can sort of be a knockoff version of Tim Duncan ("The Big Fundamental")

I like "The Show" but not sure it really applies to him.

The Gateway, in referencing to his St. Louis routes.  Nope, don't love it.

Deuce Senior, lol.

In what way is Tatum an anomaly?

I saw this quote.  I don't totally understand it but I think it's saying there's no one else that does what he does from his position in the NBA.

"Jayson Tatum isnt just the best 2 way 3 level scoring point forward in the NBA, HES THE ONLY ONE. THATS AN ANOMALY IF I?VE EVER SEEN ONE," posted a fifth.

"My buddy keeps calling Tatum 'the anomaly,'" added a sixth
