    Jayson Tatum's Rise to the Top

    I don’t recall which thread (probably the heat series thread), but someone posted a video about Iggy explaining how Miami had their own “Tatum Rules” that dictated what to do down to the number of dribbles he’d taken, time on the clock, etc. if you rewatch that clip, but watch his reaction and...
