bonwich Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Wow. How's that for a big endorsement?

Pistol Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 This is fantastic. Athletes doing local commercials = one of my favorite things in the world. I was holding out hope that Tatum would eventually do something for Imo's, but didn't expect it so soon. In an era when every athlete is super image-conscious and focused on brand building, it's refreshing to see a 19-year-old NBA soon-to-be star just be like "This local pizza chain in my hometown is my favorite, so I'm going to pop for them." No question it has more to do with affinity than financial considerations. I'm hoping he did it for a lifetime supply arrangement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianstl Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I will be a Tatum fan for life if he does an Uncle Leonard's commercial. I don't care that the place is no longer in business and Leonard is dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's from Saint Louis and played high school basketball at Chaminade. He was a McDonalds All American in 2016. He went on to play for Duke and recently was drafted number 3 overall in the NBA Draft. He was conceived while his father Justin was a basketball player for the very same Billikens that this site is named after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a long long thread about him maybe attending most here's alma mater to which we all spend way too much time obsessing over their historically mediocre men's college basketball team which till a few years back was only D1 team situated in metro area in either of the 2 by far most popular college sports.

It meant, "He didn't choose SLU, so I don't care about him." Why waste your keystrokes explaining something someone already knows? (I hope I'm not doing the same thing!) One thing about reading internet text is that it's harder to tell when someone's tongue is in their cheek. But it is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billboy1 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Recruit is a weak word as he never had any intention of going to SLU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I think that if Ford had been the HC when he was being recruited he might have come here. Unfortunately the HC was Crews at that time, enough said, he simply could not come here. I am convinced that Tatum had very positive feelings for SLU and for St. Louis and would have liked to stay here but it simply was not possible for him to do so.

Great success. On a Tatum note - his situation just got better long term but probably a little less opportunity for him short term. Kyrie is a wiener but that Boston team looks like the best team in the east at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
