46 comments

1. Come on back JT. The road to the Finals is wide open. There is no team in the East and West that you can say is better than everybody else.

2. HOW THE FAWK IS SGA MVP 😂
   HIS TEAM
   BEEN GETTIN SPANKED TIMES HAVE CHANGED CATCH UP

3. 7:39 THE FAWK U MEAN THE HELL WIT FAIR GOOFY AZZ NINJA STEPHEN A😂

4. Jalen brown answered the call this year

5. if tatum is cleared by doctors and feels like he’s 100% , who am i to tell him don’t come back ?

6. If JT is 110% healthy & can play before the playoffs start, he definitely should, but he has to play at least like 10 regular season games

7. Nah JT if you feel good. Suit up champ.

8. Omg perk is out of his mind 😢

9. Way to many doctors in the comment section 😂

10. 8 days later, not 8 games later.

11. I hate the Celtics, but I never would want a Celtic hurt. He should wait until he is 100% healed. All the best, guy.

12. Everyone scared of him coming back for playoffs and ruining the east party 😂

13. This is not usually a 16-18 month recovery. This is a 9-10 month recovery, and February is the 9th month

14. Everyone saying don’t come back, but you also don’t want to wait too long like Derrick rose and get injured because of that. I know it’s two different injuries but still the same mentality

15. This fast return is what messed up kobe

16. Just like a knick fan to say something like that😂

17. No luka wow

18. Monica face is so fire she like Kimberly with the eyes omg😂😂😂😂😂

19. She does way better narrating then Molly fr

20. 7:55 Perk doesn't even believe his own MVP candidate list man

21. 3:58 perk on them Percs again

22. mfs think they're psychic or acting like they tore their achilles in 2025 and had modern medicine and procedures applied to them and speaking from experience. Yall are not tatum, if he and the team feels he can come back he will come back 😂

23. Tatum sit down bro. JB too. We aint winning a chip this year either way

24. Welcome back tatum🎉

25. Jaylen Brown is definitely should be at the top of the MVP list

26. Jaylen brown proved the media and his haters this year
    He always been Batman not Robin.
    I want JB to finish his career with another team never been appreaciated in boston

27. This clown better not have an mvp vote you gotta be kidding me

28. That last little snippet where Stephen A says to Big Perk "to hell with ineligibility, this isn't the NCAA" is one of the reasons why we love him so much😂 man just speaks his mind

29. 😂😂😂😂 SAS has a hidden agenda behind this

30. Perk literally calls every team a dangerous team 😂😂

31. The real beast of the East

32. Hot take, yall ready…. Celtics will trade Tatum for Giannis next season after realizing they don't really need Tatum to win.

    Don't be surprised after how the Celtics did Isaiah Thomas. These owners dont care.

33. Didn't perk say my pistons were the scariest 😳 and dangerous 😮

34. I will never understand Stephen A being this afraid of teams the Knicks already sent home last year

35. Monica would only give the Celtics but so many compliments lol. I’m on to her. JB definitely top 3.

36. All these caring Knicks fans all of a sudden 😂

37. The Nicks not even beating the Pistons. Nice try.

38. Boy Stephen A Smith a fool.😂😂😂

39. Top four MVP candidates right now would be Luka, SGA, Jokic, and Jaylen Brown in my opinion.

40. 😂😂😂 Stephen A.

41. The real mvp is jaylen brown winning games with bench players….SGA shouldnt even be on the mvp list…his team is still winning without him

42. Celts shoulda traded tatum for giannis

43. I want to see Queta with more playoff minutes !

44. If you have a chance to win a championship, you have to play. Do you think he wants to retire with one less championship than Brown? I lost a lot of respect for JT though, with him playing games about it. He could have just kept the whole thing private, but he was the one putting the videos out there. Now to just cut everybody off comes across as juvenile.

45. Stephen A scared cause he knows how good JT really is especially in the playoffs even before got hurt against his Knicks Tatum was cooking dropping 40 plus and was headed for a 50 piece, JT presence alone makes things eaiser for D White and the rest of the guys he will open up more shots for the others!!

46. Bro don't want the Knicks to get no smoke cause right now they are favs for the east 😂 even not being first in the conference.😂😂😂😂 You work for the Knicks 🤫 shhh😂
