HOW THE FAWK IS SGA MVP 😂
HIS TEAM
BEEN GETTIN SPANKED TIMES HAVE CHANGED CATCH UP
7:39 THE FAWK U MEAN THE HELL WIT FAIR GOOFY AZZ NINJA STEPHEN A😂
Jalen brown answered the call this year
if tatum is cleared by doctors and feels like he’s 100% , who am i to tell him don’t come back ?
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
Nah JT if you feel good. Suit up champ.
Omg perk is out of his mind 😢
Way to many doctors in the comment section 😂
8 days later, not 8 games later.
I hate the Celtics, but I never would want a Celtic hurt. He should wait until he is 100% healed. All the best, guy.
Everyone scared of him coming back for playoffs and ruining the east party 😂
This is not usually a 16-18 month recovery. This is a 9-10 month recovery, and February is the 9th month
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
This fast return is what messed up kobe
Just like a knick fan to say something like that😂
No luka wow
Monica face is so fire she like Kimberly with the eyes omg😂😂😂😂😂
She does way better narrating then Molly fr
7:55 Perk doesn't even believe his own MVP candidate list man
3:58 perk on them Percs again
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 😂
Tatum sit down bro. JB too. We aint winning a chip this year either way
Welcome back tatum🎉
Jaylen Brown is definitely should be at the top of the MVP list
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
This clown better not have an mvp vote you gotta be kidding me
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
😂😂😂😂 SAS has a hidden agenda behind this
Perk literally calls every team a dangerous team 😂😂
The real beast of the East
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.
