Gather step


too lenient with what they consider a gather imo. it looked like he stopped the dribble, jumped back with both feet, then even took a pivot step after before taking the shot. people justify stuff like that calling it a gather, but I think they should consider it a travel

If that’s the standard everyone is held to I’m okay with it being allowed.

I actually said this two years ago and I want to reclaim this comment.. I believe Tatum has the best handles of any non Guard in the NBA..

Always believed in JT's pullup three. No need to check my post history on that.

Tatum bailed the Celtics out a bit. Sloppy turnovers, lazy close outs, and too many missed shots around the rim.

JT and the Kelce brothers.

When JT comes close to how big Travis Kelce is, JT will be the new Lebron.

There's no stopping JT when he reaches his prime.
