So last night's Game 7 in Miami was as good as advertised. We saw Jimmy Butler perform heroics till the very last buzzer. What that man did this series was incredible and I have nothing but respect for Jimmy Buckets. Miami is tough. They should definitely keep that team together for another run, I just think injuries and seasom stamina finally got them. Don't get me wrong, the Celtics played hobbled as well, both teams left it out on the floor every single game of this series. There were a few things that crossed my mind before this game went off. Draymond Green gave them inspiration by counting them out and saying they were definitely playing Boston. It was in Miami. Tyler Herro was back. None of it mattered. We just never let up! My question is, what do you think the Heat thought when they saw Jayson Tatum wearing the purple 24 tribute ar band? Because that right there is a boss intimidation move. The minute they saw that they should have just walked off the court. Kidding me. Now you want to say thats a move for show, publicity but no....This pic surfaces today....
He texted Kobe Bryant's number @ 4:19pm, 4hours before he hit the court to take game 7. This is so deeply personal of a text, I'm surprised it's out but in today's day and age I don't doubt it's real Jayson Tatum from a very young age idolized Kobe. He trained with Kobe early in his career and people thought it was no good for him.
With the way Kobe played, you had to be Kobe to be successful was the general consensus. I was on that train for a little bit because it seemed as though Tatum was trying to hard to be Kobe without hitting the shots, and a lack of chemistry was happening. It wasn't flowing through Tatum like it did with Kobe. We have watched Tatum struggle with one thing. Pass or Shoot? He needed to find the happy medium and also this team needed to believe in each other as well. Tatum needed to find a way to lead and let it flow naturally. We have seen Jayson Tatum finally mature into what Kobe Bryant knew he could become in this league. A Champion. The Green Mamba. We have watched this team fight for each other like no other.
MAMBA MENTALITY
I found this video in my travels and it gave me chills the first time I heard it and everytime since. Chris Bosh's account of what he witnessed with his own eyes. The definition of The Mamba Mentality.
Something looks awfully familiar here and the Warriors should be concerned.....
