We should get the MVP narrative running


Jayson Tatum this season:

27.1 PPG
8.5 RPG
4.8 APG
60.5 TS%

Only 3 other players have put up 27/8/4 and 60 TS% on a team with .750 win percentage — Giannis, Malone, Kareem. All 3 won MVP.

  1. I don’t think we should, while I’d love to see JT as the MVP this will come as a talking point if we win this year anyhow.

    I’d be more interested in pushing All-nba JB, All defense STOCK Exchange, maybe all nba KP, DPOY DWhite.

    Having DWhite as a top3 in DPOY, JT in top3-5 MVP, all nba JB and all defense Stock Exchange seems much more telling of this team.

  2. Please stop this dumb schit. He’s a great player but he’s not the MVP of the league. Fanbases’ bullshit pandering is just pathetic.

  3. You can’t use raw ts% to compare players from different eras. When Kareem put up a .639 ts% in 1980, his scoring efficiency was more than 20% better than league average. Tatum’s 60.5 ts% is about 4% better than league average.

  4. Tatum would be a runaway winner if this were 20-30 years ago

    People care more about stats than winning since the Westbrook charity year
