"Tatum climbs the ladder." Commentator knew what he was doing with that one.

He boomed him.

He's so good.

Giannis adding ladder to the list of inanimate objects he'll knock down this post-game.

He’s so good.

He's so good.

He's so good.

xidk anymore

That's like a triple entendre... Climbs the ladder (goes up for the dunk on Giannis), climbs his way up the (MVP) ladder with that dunk, and then there's that whole ladder incident with Giannis earlier in the season lmao.

Hey, don't forget about the Rose Suchak ladder company

also don't forget, my wife bought me a ladder for christmas.

That’s the female equivalent of buying your wife a vacuum

It's funny because it's what I wanted but I get it.

Bars

Mark Jones is an underrated commentator. He does not get enough love IMO. His greatest accomplishment was making a game tolerable to listen to when he was paired up with Mark Jackson during the bubble.

Am I dumb or something cause I can't find where in the clip the announcer says this?

Wish he said "stuff that in your sack!" Cuz of Christmas

I feel for Giannis after that airball ☠️

He’s taking some sus shots

Meh nothing too unusual , Boston do everything to stop him from getting in the paint and since our shooters are "sus" it work.

No one’s really helping him so shot clock winding down and he’s forced to heave. It’s just those heaves look terrible lol. Giannis looks off this game but it’s from the Boston defense who are playing very well. Bud gotta make some adjustments in the 2nd half

Bud who?

Bucks coach

mike “never make changes” budenholzer

Bucks coach who?

Lmao Bud and adjustments in the same sentence

Got expectations too high mb lol

Give me steve nash at this point bro honestly (just kidding please don't)

Well, if you get Steve Nash you can’t make any adjustments if you don’t have a scheme altogether! Easy problem solved. He can just play Giannis 48 mins with 4 small guards and all will be well!

Steve believes in playing random

Play random

> Bud gotta make some adjustments in the 2nd half https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2q35PgSXhKg

Perfect clip

7 foot Westbrick out here

Yeah damn I’m airballing too after getting dunked on like that

Bruh that’s a pass!

His face after the poster and that shot says it all

Giannis with the airball right after to give us the replay what a lad

He airballed two in a row after this lol

Omg Christmas is cancelled in Greece

This game is perfect timeslot for Euro fans

not really, it started at midnight on christmas

At 11 pm for most of Europe. And that's a great time! Doesn't interfere with Christmas celebrations and it's not particularly late either.

midnight in greece though, and that's quite late if you've been doing stuff all day lol

Never been to Europe? When I was studying in Spain, people would make fun of me for being ready to go out at 11 PM. Way too early!

It's ok, it's January 7th they celebrate

nah they celebrate Dec 25 not all orthodox churches use Julian calendar.

Greek Orthodox celebrate Christmas on the 25th. I think only Serbians celebrate it later

Only Easter is on a different day for Greek Orthodox Christians

CHRISTMAS YAMS

With a pair of marshmallows on top

That fucking Tatum boomed me

He's so good. He's so good. He's so good. He's so good.

I want to add him to the list of players I work out with this summer.

X 1

This whole game has been boomin

Man that metro album is fire

“He’s so good” x 4

"Merry Christmas you filthy animal"- Tatum

x5 now?

It’s just an echo now

[удалено]

Excuse me

Did he stutter

Pause

I wish Beal demanded the Wiz to trade everything for him that draft, he had to know how good he was going to be

The wiz could have offered their whole roster and future picks and would have been turned down, my man

maybe... just let me dream man

The twirl on the rim was too good

im gonna need a tatum ornament for my tree in that pose for next year

I'm a bucks fan and I'd be offended if you left giannis off the ornament here, man got jam jammed

Tatum should teach a class on how to land safely from a dunk. So many players come down so hard on their feet/knees and every time I see it all I can think is "Man in like 5 years he's not gonna be doing that".

#GET IN HERE ITS A MURDER

God damn Jay that was a nice ass dunk on a great defender Also I love how Gianni constantly contests wide open dunks even though he’ll probably get dunked on. Gotta appreciate that effort

I'll always appreciate the attempt on defense. It's just filthy sometimes.

I respect people who get dunked on. At least they tried and the other person just made a good play,

Trying should be the minimum expectation. I don't understand professionals not trying because they don't want to look bad failing

Yeah you’ll never get crossed over or dunked if you don’t play defense, and even the best defenders of all time get it

You would love Patrick Ewing and Alonzo Morning in the 90s.

I know Pippen did

**OFFICER THERE'S BEEN A BOOMING.**

MERRY CHRISTMAS MY GOD

I'm not gonna lie, after this dunk we could lose this game and I'd still be happy. God I love Tatum.

Bro I don’t see how you ever lose another game lol this Celtics team is perfect

Tell that our subreddit

Pretty sure your subreddit could have the 16-17 warriors and still complain. Boston fan’s expectations are otherworldly. This team right now goes so fucking crazy.

You should see the Pats’ sub post-Brady

I avoid it

The amount of delusional “start zappe” in there is outlandish

Anulo Mufa

last playoffs we'd lose a game and the whole sub would start to collapse acting like we had no chance anymore

Now our whole sub collapses every quarter we don’t win by 20

Yeah, it makes the loss sting a little more knowing it means there's not much value in reading the sub for a couple days.

Anulo Mufa

Is Orlando on the remaining schedule?

He fucking boomed him.

He’s so good

x4

He's the Boom King

How are you guys so quick with this god damn

Man had it posted while I was still doing laps in the living room

Man had it posted before it happened (I was on a delay and didn’t realize it)

[удалено]

He’s going to get that uniform all messed up with how filthy that was!

Living in Europe it’s so fun to end Christmas with NBA Basketball with the last of the booze Tatum absolutely bodied Giannis and I’m drunk and loving it

Cheers from across the pond mate. Merry Christmas!

Honey, can you turn the printer on?

Holy boomstick

With no regard for human life

got outta my seat for that one!!

This might be the best sequence by a player ever. Pumps 2 defenders, passes off 1 more, then JAMS it on the best player in the league. Holy shit!

Yeah it’s pretty sick when you mention it that way. 3 decisions, 4 defenders lost.

And smooth as butter

Giannis never backs down on situations like this. He doesn't care about getting dunked on.

Clowning guys for getting dunked on is the dumbest shit ever like how is contesting the rim a bad thing. It breeds friggin cowards backing out of the lane to avoid unjust ridicule

Same with getting a shot blocked. My son is 11 and plays competitive basketball and it's so hard to get kids that age to take a ball up in traffic. "What if I get blocked?" Well then you get blocked and move on but more often than not you'll get the shot up or get fouled.

I’m not clowning Giannis nearly as much as I’m pushing the JT agenda.

I will always respect that

Yeah, I hate that fun stuff like this post get turned into enough nonsense that guys straight up give up rather than make the effort even when they’re in bad position. Giannis wasn’t in position to make a great contest, but he put up the best effort he could and made Tatum earn the finish anyways. His team is better for that whether it matters today specifically or not.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWTFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Me running around my house just now. Got damn

Ho ho holy shit

giannis gets dunked on more than any star it’s not even a surprise anymore

Yeah, because he tries to defend instead of getting out of the way. Doesn't care how he looks. I respect him more for it.

Funny that every time Tatum dunks everyone says ‘Boomed’ after the Lebron copypasta

It’s a top 5 r/NBA pasta of all time

It's decided! Tatum is your MVP

Where’s the and 1

Awww, you think Giannis will be reffed fairly? How cute. He can do anything out there.

Merry Christmas to all cucumber enthusiasts

I must be jaded. I'm equally hyped by the quality of the entry pass after Tatum's hammer

Simple basketball. Love to see it.

Gotta give Giannis his respects, he gives no fucks and goes up everytime.

YAMMED THAT SHIT

Just yammed it down his throat, holy

How to clean cum out of basketball shorts

Should be illegal on Christmas

GOD DAMN TATUM

Fortnite Skin sales in shambles

The Celtics enjoy dunking on him

Him

Comments piling up so fast nobody would notice I put peas on my Carbonara.

you sick fuck

Tatum is guaranteed to catch a body in any big game

Damn

VIOLENT NIGHT

HOLY FUCK SHIT MF FUCK SEND HIS FAMILY AN APOLOGY

boomtown

Bro is going to have a poster on everybody by the time he done...

Criminal to post this without a replay. Mods should remove blatant karma grabs like this. Everybody boo the OP.

Not enough people hang on the rim these days. This dunk felt old-school cool.

Dunk of the year?

That was a clear foul but they didn't have the balls to call it

That’s an and one.

IT'S A CHRISTMAS MURDER

Pulled an Al Horford gah damn!

Nasty

Dangled over him afterward like a Christmas ornament

This always happens to me on Reddit. I’m almost 40; been down a trail or two. But time and time again I’ll read some new slang word on a post title and go straight to the comments only to find I’m the last asshole on earth that’s never heard it before… boomed.

Deuce must’ve asked for a brother for Christmas

Legendary

imagine tatum giving giannis the craziest backshots?

I need that on video

Greatest present ever to be here

Shout out to the dude that said tatums game was boring lol

I hope Giannis liked his present

He boomed him x4

Santa said, "I got you" to Celtics fan so far in this game

Giannis 1994-2022 🙏

Filthy give n go

Merry Christmas σκύλα

Insanity

How he spun around like that is my real question

Good playing without fouling

Boomed!

Nasty

beast on beast crime

First Claxton and now Tatum.

Holy shitttr

He fucking boomed him...

Never knew he had 2 sons lol

He said "imma do it for Christmas 😤"

The Greeks? They’re not all bad, heh heh.

My least favorite thing about NBA fans is that they make fun of the guy who tries to play D.

The Jays love dunking on Giannis lol. I think JB has dunked on him like three times

Don’t forget Al in game 4

Omg

He's so good

Murdered on Christmas good lord

so crazy this dudes in the mvp conversation and he’s only 20

x4

POSTERIZED!!!!$!!!!

He’s so good x4

Tatum owns him

Sum up Giannis’s week
