Transcript
Got a bone to pick with some of you. For those of you saying Jayson Tatum shouldn't come back this season and that it's too soon. He's just gonna hurt himself again. Oh, he's making a bad decision. Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are? And secondly, what gives you the right? Are you a doctor? And if you are a doctor, did you work in the rehab process with Jayson Tatum? Right? No. So your opinion is invalid. And you know what the best part is? My opinion is also invalid, but I'm a biased Celtics rank, and I'm gonna post this video anyways. I don't know if he's gonna come back. I don't know if he is good to come back. That's why I haven't made a take saying that he is or he isn't. But what I do know is that the doctors that have worked with him in the rehab room and worse with him from start to finish have said he is good to come back. No why am I gonna trust the doctor? So you can keep commenting all you want that he's not good to come back bad that it's stupid, but it doesn't matter. Your opinion doesn't matter. I'm not even saying that to, like, be mean. It's just facts. You don't have a medical opinion. I do get it is crazy, though. Like, this is a one of one situation. No one has come back from an injury like this this best. So I understand the concern. But don't be making these takes like you're all high and mighty tier you know right from wrong and then when it comes to this. Because you don't. Unless you worse Jayson Tatum's rehab guy. Then you can comment all you want. And on that note, I would just like to leave this here. Take a look at the bottom left of the screen. Jayson Tatum, game time decision. Game time decision for the first time this year. Alright. Have a good night.
