Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby explains why he would pick NBA legend Kobe Bryant over LeBron James as his greatest of all time.
Tatum has been known to rock the purple armband with Bryant's #24 on it, as a way to honor the late Hall of Famer Tatum's offseason tweak can make Boston Celtics even betterThat is an easy way to oversimplify it, but it isn't wrong.
In the 2017 NBA Draft, the Lakers held the second overall pick, while the Celtics originally had the first pick, but swapped with the Philadelphia 76ers, who had the third pick, just four days before the draft.Conspiracies forced David Stern to deny MJ's 1993 retirement was suspension for gamblingCredit: Getty
Tatum was projected to go somewhere in the top three, but the indication was that LA was going to take Lonzo Ball out of UCLA, while the 76'ers were going to take Markelle Fultz out of Washington with the first overall pick., not only did Tatum reveal that he wanted to be in the purple and gold, but that the Lakers didn't even give him a look.“I grew up a Kobe fan. I always wanted to play for the Lakers,” Tatum shared."That was kinda devastating.
Meanwhile, Tatum has been on an absolute tear during his time in Boston, winning a first championship in 2023-24, to go along with five All-Star appearances, four All-NBA nods and an All-Star Game MVP.Both franchises each have one title since then, albeit Boston having a much more sustained run of success than their counterparts.
While the dream did not come true, the reality has proved to be pretty special for a player on his way to becoming a Boston legend.
