Stephen A. Smith claims Tatum should be in the MVP conversation.
Every season, the narrative around the NBA MVP award continues to shift and fans are increasingly confused about the exact criteria. For some, it’s the best player in the best team and for others, it’s more statistically defined. With Joel Embiid out, Jokic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Giannis and Luka Doncic are the present front runners for the coveted award, despite the Boston Celtics having the best record this season. Media personality, Stephen A. Smith is however pushing the narrative that Boston Celtics’ star, Jayson Tatum should also be in the MVP race, for being the best player in the best team in the league. NBA fans have taken to social media to oppose this take, alluding Giannis’ 2022/2023 season where he averaged 30 ppg whilst the Bucks had the best record in the league and still lost the award to Joel Embiid.
“The best player on the best team. 27 points a night… Jayson Tatum can’t be ignored.”
