He runs the offense but he doesn’t run it well lol. Jayson Tatum is at the helm of the greatest offense of all time. He’s obviously not the floor general that Luka is, but a lot of plays run through him and he creates them with his drive and attack.

Like I said, everyone knows who the better player is.

Lol the Celtics have 3 or 4 better players than EVERY teams second best player. Even the 76ers. Unfair comparison.

Nothing about Tatum's season aside his teams record points to best player in the league, right now he’s a clear margin behind Curry and Jokic. Luka has the edge in impact while shouldering a heavier burden, Cs have an elite supporting cast

Doesn't run it well? They're a top 10 offensive unit with a bunch of role players around Luka LOL. Make it make sense man....

Everyone has Luka ahead of Tatum on their player ranking list. Except you, because you're a Celtics homer.

Luka this season in the NBA:

#1 in PPG
#3 in APG
#1 in PER
#1 in RPM
#1 in Win Shares
#2 in VORP
#2 in AST%
#14 in Defensive Rating

*drops mic*

Lol this is why nobody can take you serious anymore

Just delusional these days

You should perhaps try watching some games rather than just be a basketball-reference slave

The Celtics haven’t played the Warriors yet, but Tatum has obliterated all of these other players

Oh here we go, avoiding the discussion and reverting back to team vs team.

Just take the L and move on.

Quote (Nwotmik @ Nov 28 2022 05:25pm)

Well right now Tatum is top 2 favourite on pretty much every sportsbook in the NBA MVP betting odds, so idk I guess I’ll just listen to what 2 dip shit Diablo 2 players will say I guess

Quote (MildSambal @ Nov 29 2022 10:31am)

Giannis is a better player than Tatum but the MVP award isn’t about that, nor team success really (you can just be a top 4 seed and get it)

Giannis is comfortably behind Jokic and Curry right now. I’d add Luka, SGA, and Tatum given the start

Tatum is 4th and he’ll probably never be in a serious discussion for best player in the league… which is fine because as a Celtics fan the team is everything one could wish for anyways

Quote (MildSambal @ Nov 29 2022 10:43am)

Also part of the reason Tatum is overvalued for the MVP betting odds is because there are way more Celtics fans than there are Mavericks, Bucks, Nuggets, or Thunder fans… probably more Cs fans than all 4 of those combined

Curry is having a better analytical season than his unanimous MVP year btw, Warriors fans come in close behind Cs fans. But anyways we should keep listening to some guy who picked the Cs as his team because they won a bunch of rings before he was born
