I think the top 4 in the MVP race was unanimous. Good to see JT year after year getting better and better.
But I hear he is not good in this sub
F the MVP get that ring
Phenomenal season.
That’s ok. 2023 NBA Champion and Finals MVP Jayson Tatum sounds better than Regular Season MVP, Multiple DNPs, and Second Round exit Joel Embiid.
Wow so after all that discussion, toxic at times, about Embiid vs. Jokic, it really wasn’t even close.
Mans not even close to his prime either which is scary.
So he is top 5 after all
People in r/nba think Tatum can’t win it. Like he’s inconsistent… but just entering his prime and already averaging 30 a night. Like, most don’t win MVP’s till 27+ he’s got a few years.
JT will eventually be MVP when they change the qualifications. That’ll eliminate the competition. Dude got too many dry streaks and still a puppy, soft af. Don’t got that DAAWG in him.
