As a black man born and raised in Boston, it’s always funny when people comment under MY tweets “Celtikkks” as if this is not what I see every day 😂 yes, Boston is very much black. Boston is very much Cape Verdean, very much Haitian, very much the most diversity city you’ll see

@uhatebasketball Nah Breanna Stewart was by far the best college player I’ve seen in my lifetime lol I used to call her Dirk but even that wasn’t enough because she played defense like Hakeem 😂she averaged nearly 20 ppg/9 reb and 3.4 blocks her senior year. That ain’t no “system”, foh 😂

@Jamep474877 @InfyPooh @tracywine145 No you don’t lol you’re just being weird and lying for no reason. I’m here to educate you, not argue so if you want to be delusional about the actual facts the same way you’re being delusional about where you live, have at it 🤷🏾‍♂️

@nateVsmith @InfyPooh @tracywine145 The patriots have just won more superbowl than the Celtics have recently that’s the only reason it seems like that in Boston right now. And that’s just not true I live in Boston as well tge Celtics are just as popular if not more popular. It all depends on what sport you like.

It’s weird that Pierce is so popular in Boston, but Tatum isn’t and Tatum is better.

@Jamep474877 @MunizG1830 @tracywine145 Except it’s NOT facts 😂 it’s hilarious that you are really trying to argue with someone who actually lives in the city as if I don’t know what I’m talking about 😂 you can literally Google this for yourself. The Patriots DOMINATE the media market survey every by a landslide

@nateVsmith @MunizG1830 @tracywine145 Because I’m stating the facts? Lol football wasnt a super house in Boston until Brady arrived. Brady brought them all their success

@Jamep474877 @MunizG1830 @tracywine145 I can tell you’ve never been to Boston because 💀💀💀

@nateVsmith @MunizG1830 @tracywine145 I disagree hurts wouldn’t be nowhere near as big as Tatum in Boston. Boston is more of a Celtics town than it is a patriots town. Football is literally only big because of Brady

@Jamep474877 @InfyPooh @tracywine145 It sounds crazy but that’s the reality lol I’m a born and raised Bostonian. The popularity of the Patriots vs Celtics isn’t relatively close. The Patriots get way more media coverage, way more attention on sports radio, and people are generally more knowledgeable on that sport.

@nateVsmith @InfyPooh @tracywine145 Saying football is over basketball in Boston is crazy lol the patriots weren’t super big in Boston until Brady came around. The Celtics have been big in Boston since the mid 90s.

@BOSSportsGordo It’s still disrespectful. He’s already a better hitter than Julio Rodriguez.

Was about to get annoyed they left Roman off and then I saw the logo next to #3 and forgave

@MunizG1830 @Jamep474877 @tracywine145 There’s way more football fans than basketball fans here (which says a lot because the Celtics are massively popular). If Jalen Hurts was at QB, he’d probably be bigger than Tatum too lol he’s still massively popular though don’t get it twisted. Boston just breathes sports

@Jamep474877 @tracywine145 People are saying Drake Maye but that’s crazy no? 1 good season that ended horribly and he’s more popular than the guy leading the celtics for almost a decade and is a champion?

@Jamep474877 @InfyPooh @tracywine145 No, he is lol Tatum is definitely #2 though. Boston is football town first then basketball.

@InfyPooh @tracywine145 Not yet to early for him to be but if he has more success he has the potential to be the biggest athlete in town

Y’all just wake and decide to say anything, no matter how stupid, huh? He’s constantly in the top 5 in jersey sales year after year, yet somehow he’s not popular in Boston.

“SGA doesn’t get to the line more than his team” Huh???? I’m officially checking out now 😂 SGA has taken more FTs than ANY player the past 3 seasons and he’s taken more than 40% of all FTs by the Thunder. If you’re going to be this dense and disingenuous, there’s really no point is discussing this any further 😂

@nateVsmith @Edward_Dennard @SwaggyHeat @real_manguy @NBA__Courtside Sga doesn't get to the line more than his team though. Celtics take almost 6 less fts as a team than okc Jb takes 2 more shots And jb turns it over 1.5 more times All of these go into usage formula.

Tracy McGrady believes the Celtics haven’t played their same brand of basketball since Jayson Tatum has returned: “I don’t want to say it seems out of wack but their shooting has gone down since he’s been here. It’s really like ‘guys, what are we doing here? Are we running the same stuff as before? Are we still on the same page? Or are we divided because we’re not playing our same game.’ I’m sure there’s a lot mentally these guys are going through because of the insertion of JT.” (Via @NBAonNBC)

Wrong. SGA gets to the line more than Brown and has a far less usage rate. It’s more than FTAs, it’s literally a summary of how much the ball is in your hands on a given night. I’m not just talking to talk, I watch EVERY Celtics game and have been since I was 8 lol I know what I’m talking about.

@nateVsmith @Edward_Dennard @SwaggyHeat @real_manguy @NBA__Courtside Brown no matter what has a high usage cause he gets to the line most of the celtics fts are him, he puts up a avg of 20 shots(jt 18) and turns over the ball(3 a game) compared to the teams total.

@Edward_Dennard @BlackProudGreen @SwaggyHeat @real_manguy @NBA__Courtside Dame and Giannis not having a history playing together literally has NOTHING to do with being selfless/less ball dominant. Kevin Durant never played with Steph and Klay and won a ring year 1. It’s not a familiarity issue, it’s a style of play issue.

@nateVsmith @BlackProudGreen @SwaggyHeat @real_manguy @NBA__Courtside Dame and Giannis never played together before, Tatum and brown been playing together for 9+ years they already know what to do. The issue is people missing wide open shots. I don’t have a issue with JB usage this season we need it still even now with Tatum back

@Edward_Dennard @BlackProudGreen @SwaggyHeat @real_manguy @NBA__Courtside I actually make perfect sense lol did you also not watch the game? Having a 40 usage rate is absurdly high especially when you’re shooting under 40%. Brown was very selfish that game and didn’t get anyone involved on offense. And Tatum only took 16 shots which is not a lot at all

@nateVsmith @BlackProudGreen @SwaggyHeat @real_manguy @NBA__Courtside Bro you don’t even make sense i don’t even understand your point i was with you with JT standing in the corner too much but Tatum just came off a injury tf you mean he not the one who needs to adjust. He do he obviously not the same yet plus u left out the shots Tatum took

@BlackProudGreen @Edward_Dennard @SwaggyHeat @real_manguy @NBA__Courtside You’re continuing to respond with generalities and proving my point. You didn’t watch a single minute of the game in question. High usage rate IS a problem when you add another elite player. That is why Dame couldn’t work with Giannis. Tatum is not the one who needs to adjust.

@nateVsmith @Edward_Dennard @SwaggyHeat @real_manguy @NBA__Courtside Jb has had multiple games of 40 usage that not the issue. The issue is too much toe stepping cause the others have only been use to one jay all season and other than white and hauser who has played significant mons with jt.

@BlackProudGreen @Edward_Dennard @SwaggyHeat @real_manguy @NBA__Courtside You didn’t watch a single minute of that game, so yes you’re yapping lol Tatum spent the vast majority of the game standing in the corner as you’re insinuating. He also played less minutes than both Brown and White. Jaylen had a usage rate of 40, which is insanely high.

@nateVsmith @Edward_Dennard @SwaggyHeat @real_manguy @NBA__Courtside No we're not. Location of shots matter when your in rhythm. Jt still thinks he playing with al, kornet, jrue and white in bench lineups. They took those corner 3s, they picked n popped, they short rolled, they were in the dunked. This personal doesn't do those thing

@BlackProudGreen @Edward_Dennard @SwaggyHeat @real_manguy @NBA__Courtside Y’all are just yapping at this point lol Jaylen took 26 FGAs. That’s way higher than his season average. White took 15 FGAs. That’s exactly his average. Pritchard took 11 FGAs, 2 lower than his average. They made a combined 19/52. No need to comment if you don’t actually watch.

@Edward_Dennard @SwaggyHeat @real_manguy @NBA__Courtside Those are shots they haven't taken consistently though.

T-Mac we get it, we know you love Jaylen but this take is moronic. This wasn’t the game to blame Tatum lol Jaylen played hero ball and shot 9/26 with 3 TOs, Pritchard and White shot a combined 10/26 with 4 TOs and Hauser missed every wide open 3. Wtf that gotta do with Tatum???

@KevOnStage Telling someone, “you ain’t just bald, you BALD bald” is wild work 😂

Someone on here once called me “aggressively bald” and it sits with me.

@otokyo__ My dad was a professional chef and the rest of my family are elite cooks, both sides. I didn’t have a choice. It chose me.

Who taught you ?
