Ep 2: Jayson Tatum Being Boring Isn't The Problem. (We are.)
Manage episode 519745611 series 3678225
Jayson Tatum is the NBA's paradox. He's one of the league's most accomplished superstars, but fans often have the same take on him: he's boring.
In Episode 2 of Posters, we explore why we think that, what Tatum could do about it, and why we might be wrong.
Jayson Tatum grew up on YouTube. We can look back and see every success, failure, and thought process going back to a school project where he used a PowerPoint to teach how to tie a tie. In other words, Tatum has "shown his work" on his path to superstardom, and it seems like a lot of people don't like that.
How much has social media changed what we want from superstars? At what point does on-court greatness stops being enough to be the face of the league? And what do reality dating shows have to do with the NBA? It's all here, in episode 2.
