My top 3 mvp candidates is luka, Tatum and curry. But I can see people putting up a good argument for giannis and caruso
The bucks will the Cs
MVP
Tatum earned his place in the MVP conversation. He deserves this.
🍀☘️🙌🏽
Perk so happy with Tatum… finally an MVP front runner who's black and american. You can see Perk finally being happy. But even as Perk grins this huge smile watching Tatum put up numbers, there's a twinkle in his eye, is it a tear, there this clue that Perk is not fully comfortable, like he is acting up. Because in the back of Perk's mind there's this nagging voice that prevents him from fully enjoying the moment. A voice that whispers "Tatum is light-skined". Poor Perk
He's clearly the MVP, averaging 31.6/7.8reb/4.5ast on 63.5 TS% while leading the best offense in NBA history and they have the best record.
Yea. He's him. The ability to not only score on all three levels but also defend, that's special.
And Richard said he’s not a superstar but ja is 😭
Yay Perk read his tweet unfiltered. Malika should’ve read it 😂
as a Cs fan, I think the biggest threat is still the bucks, cause with middleton they are a completely different team
During last year's run I always felt that JT was knocking on the door to that next level of greatness but was still not quite there in terms of consistency. Now he has fully arrived to an MVP caliber player.
JAYSON TATUM FUTURE MVP AND FINALS MVP
Everybody is hating on luka's greatness. The only player to record multiple 40pt triple doubles this season. There is none like him.
No player is perfect. Tatum can only dream of doing that. If luka is also good on defense and has star players with him the rest of the league is toasted.
It seems like Richard Jefferson has a issue with JT A blind man can see that Tatum and this team is on a mission to cature banner #18
Perk trippin bucks still. Better fully healthy but Tatum balling
You people are quick to forget how tatum just vanished in the finals. Lol. Thats not mvp caliber.
Anyone notice that William and Kate seem more into the game than the Gov elect of Mass who looks like she is enduring being there
Ight
no team is beating warriors in a 7 game series , let’s be honest
I thought prior to AD trade w Lakers, they should have taken Boston's offer and swapped him for Tatum. Apparently, that was on the table. If you're giving a guy a max you want him to be worth it. Tatum is still an ascending player and playing at an MVP level. Im a Knicks fan too, but I love Tatum's game. He is hard not to root for
MVP
Perk, you left out two 3-pt. marksmen, coming off the bench, from your depth-chart list… Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser. Let's give our white brothers some respect, too!
Malika is not welcome on the duck boats
not even the all star break lol. these topics are so dumb. Lets see if ….IF… they make it to the finals.
Yeah, and next game against the same team he will put up 14 points. That's the Jayson Tatum experience. One of the most overrated players in the league. He's a streak scorer that does nothing at an elite level consistently. Not even finish at the rim with or without traffic. Zero clutch gene either. And soft.
jayson grant did his best lebron personation and said he was going to score 50
He’s 24 Perk. Dam man lol. He’s literally learning on the fly and getting better every year.
If you ain’t been knew who Tatum is . Get out . And don’t start texting “☘️ ‘s” either .
Did his best LeBron impersonation!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Chill JT 😭💀
Tatum MVP this season. all I know ☘️
I wanna ride the duck boats with Perk
Only to choke again come Finals time….
Lol mfrs can’t wait until he did it to the heat. Lmao. Dude been balling . Gtfoh
Name 5 Players in the league right know , That are Better Than JT ? I'll wait
What a bench also when this team is all helahty … Brogden, Grant Williams , San Hauser , Derrick white ( all 4 shooting over 40 PCT from 3) and Luke Kornet.. Payton Pritchard (who also shoots over 40 from 3)`& Blake Griffin as your 11 & 12 Guys.. then if Danillo Gallini comes back??? Woah
TATUMS MVP THIS SZN!
Cavs worry me a little bit that's it!!! They beat the celtics twice on both floors
1:05 I can deny it…I am a huge JT/celtics fan but no one is playing better ball than Luka right now
Uhhhhh let’s pipe down until the playoffs get here….. He’s elite but he fell off in the finals last season..
Tatum doesn’t have the ball in his hand every single possession doing this, just imagine if he had a luka or giannis role. Tatum has taken the league as the best player and the Celtics will be the new dynasty if they win the championship. If these guys are healthy perk is right nobody stands a chance to win 4 out of 7. Rob Williams return will open a new door for bean town I think they could be the greatest team ever put together. If you don’t watch Boston play you should probably start, they are super fun to watch
Jordan has to give him his signature shoe rn
“I’ve been waiting for this type of Jayson Tatum”
Haven’t we all
No one talking about JT's defense SMH.
Tatum deserves his flowers but RJ has a point. The Celtics have been healthy and have a better team. Middleton at his best is not better than Jaylen Brown
Jayson Tatum is definitely the mvp right now ! I think no debate! Best player on the best team 💯🤷🏼♂️
Tatum is MVP Favorite thus far.
