I swear Im not dumping on the Celtics with this but the names you mentioned are why I dont think Tatum ever gets an MVP. His windowe to get one is really small because of Jokic and then Doncic right behind him and then all those guys in the next few years
I think that’s a fair point, but at the risk of sounding like a broken record I don’t think that people realize how young Tatum is because he’s been performing at a very high level for almost 3-4 years now. He’s the same age as Luka and Shai, and only 2 years older than Tyrese yet I feel as though those guys (maybe not with Luka as much) are still labeled as young and up and coming while the perception is that Tatum doesn’t have a lot of potential anymore. I think there’s a decent chance that those young guys take a few years from ages 22-25 ironing out the small flaws in their games (similar to how Tatum did) before they contend for MVPs from ages 26-31, and Tatum will likely have a decent shot then
