as a lifelong Lakers fan, when I watch Tatum play his game has always been the closest to Kobe's. I know he loves the game and plays it with every ounce of his being. I hate the colors he wears but I respect him a lot and am grateful he is willing to put his body on the line for mine and other's entertainment. Without players like this then basketball wouldn't be worth watching. Anyone who trashes him or talks shit needs to grow up. I wish him a speedy recovery.
