Just another example of Tatum disrespect?

WEEI-FM / WEEI

Some are accusing Jayson Tatum of "milking it", when it comes to his wrist injury from G1. Is this just an example of Tatum disrespect?

00:00The disrespect for Jason Tatum continues. We talked about it a lot yesterday when it comes to not just locally, but nationally and the way in which people react to Jason Tatum.

00:10And that continued yesterday with Chandler Parsons on Run It Back.

00:15They talked about the flagrant call after he went down and hurt his wrist and what they thought about what happened.

00:21There was a moment here. Oopsie. KCP with the flagrant on Tatum. Are we good with the call, Lou?

00:27Let me put my... I don't even think it's flagrant.

00:30No, that's not a... That's a common foul. That was called a flagrant foul. It's crazy.

00:35Oh, well, you can grab his arms a little bit. You can make a case for that.

00:38But no, this playoff basketball, I think that's just a good hard foul right there.

00:42Okay. There was nothing danger. I think obviously the fact that he went down and I guess he was hurt.

00:47This is the problem now. If you milk it and you stay down like that, that helps them go review it and that changes kind of the narrative of a flagrant foul versus a regular foul.

00:55But this... That's not flagrant, man. There was no malicious intent.

01:00So that's what Parsons had to say, that it was basically Jason Tatum on the floor milking it because he wanted a call.

01:08I just think when you look at Jason Tatum and his play, he doesn't do that often.

01:14And for me, it's now going...

01:16He doesn't flop.

01:17No.

01:17He does whine and look for a call an awful lot of the time.

01:23But he doesn't make a big scene about getting hurt.

01:26And to be honest, Jalen Brown does as well.

01:28Yes.

01:29A lot.

01:29Everybody does.

01:30Yes.

01:30Well, not everybody, though.

01:32Find me one player who doesn't.

01:34Okay.

01:35But just with regard to the two of them, they constantly have their arms up looking for a call.

01:41But Tatum never gets calls either.

01:43I think as a superstar in the league compared to the other superstars, Jason Tatum never gets calls.

01:48No, he never gets calls.

01:49But if you look at, like, in the Miami Heat game, Tyler Harrow went to the lane and didn't get the call

01:54and basically laid there like a snow angel in the middle of the lane.

01:59It's just...

02:00It's now...

02:01I think it's because they look for the call, so a lot of flailing and throwing their heads back and doing all that

02:09sometimes leads to them getting calls.

02:11I don't think Jason Tatum on the ground, clearly in pain.

02:14I mean, you were front row to it.

02:16I think he jammed his wrist.

02:17Yes.

02:17I don't think he was milking.

02:19No.

02:20No.
