Did Jayson Tatum Get Robbed?
No..brown deserved it he showed up every game
No
No
No
jordan walsh 100 percent
Tatum's assignment on defense is not against the Mav's backcourt. JT was there to hold down the Mav's bigs and their lob game
People forget that plus the assignment on Luka was to let him score ,that's why Tatum and brown was both getting scored on,it was to prevent foul trouble situations
@@DaMillerBoi that's right. It was a great bait tbh. Stayed one on one vs Luka or Kyrie.
The game plan was to make Luka beat them, the emphasis was on not letting the others get going! Good comments
"When Brown was guarding Luka, Luka simply missed shots." Sooooo good defense then?
You just ignoring the point where he showed Luka having the same percentage against other Celtics defenders as well? That was like the whole point. Luka was shooting poorly no matter who guarded him.
if a player misses an open shot, did the air play good defense?
@@uberneanderthal the defense played good defense by wearing the player down every possession
Game 1 - Best player: Brown and Porzingis
(Porzingis played injured, and I know he didn't even play the whole game but he scored 20 points in only 1 quarter.)
Game 2: Brown and Holiday.
Game 3: Brown.
Game 4: Tatum (Whole team was trash that game I know)
Game 5: Tatum.
The real MVP:
Celtics management for building a well rounded team where any of the starting 5 can dominate on any given day.
giving a lot of questionable 'co-MVP' games to Brown there
Game 1: KP, 2: Jrue, 3: Brown, 4: Luka, 5: Tatum. I mean tbh they could've given the MVP to Luka, Jerry West style. He was the best player in the series.
😂😂😂fr
Don’t forget the Nets MGMT for not trading for KD
@@Celticsbaby game 3 best player was Tatum.
In the 1st half when Mavs were going bonkers, and Celtics just sucking, Tatum kept the Celtics alive in that crucial run.
Tatum had much more important job than Brown in the series: eliminate lob threat and Mavs bigs control + rebounding, which legit is more important & harder than Brown guarding Luka.
You guys are idiots.
Game 2 is holiday and tatum
Celtics winning finals in '08 and '24 paying tribute to Kobe's Jersey numbers, being LAL's biggest rival AND claiming the league's franchise with the most chips is hilarious.
Jaylen Brown won because he was the most consistent and most efficient. He was the clutch guy in crucial moments. You could argue in part that besides Brown's own raw talent, he was able to score more efficiently because of Tatum's playmaking skills, in which he was able to read the defense well, draw the defenders away, making the correct plays which left Brown open for clearer/open shots. Defensively, they were both good, but Brown went the extra mile in being able to actually guard Luka and forcing many turnovers. Tatum still dominated the stats, despite taking the playmaker role and allowing his team mates to shine. He still played his role and was an integral part to the team's success. Anyone claiming Tatum was bad is just hating. In saying this, I think Brown deserved it, but if Tatum had won it instead, I'd be completely okay with it. Love both Jays.
Brown last 2 games wasn't efficient they was horrible but during that. 3-0 lead brown to had some impactful moments
@@DaMillerBoiyeah and Tatum wasn’t efficient in 4 out of 5 games
All hits,zero misses
So why looks like sulking when Brown won? Brown proves his case he's improved since the last 3 seasons
Sports are driven by narratives, and no sport is more impacted by that than the NBA. And right now the favorite narrative surrounding the Celtics is people pretending that Tatum isn't the best player.
This discussion is not about who is the best player, but who is the Finals MVP. That regards the effort in the finals games, not the whole season.
@falungongboy The discussion in a broad view is about narratives without it being explicitly stated in the video. Without setting himself apart significantly from Brown statistically, Tatum was never going to get MVP.
Brown outplayed tatum in games 1,2 and 3, which dictated the series. Tatum only brought his averages up above brown in game 5 which doesnt have nearly the same weight as games 1 2 and 3 while brown just didnt play game 4 because celtics decided to throw that game to win at their home court. so the leading in ppg narritive is extremely fucking dumb.
Tatum had nights where he didn't even reach 20 points..brown showed up every single night, while playing outstanding defense..not just on luka but he guarded whoever whenever, brown always show up.. never take nights off whereas tatum looked shaky at times
Brown also had nights that he didn't get 20
@@ButtersChannelBrown had bigger impacts throughout the actual game being played.
If it were up to Tatum, you would see more 20 pt leads being given away.
Jaylen was always there to clean up the mess and denying choke jobs
@@ButtersChannelI guess assist and Rebounds are not counting stats...
@ultimateyagerman tatum was the best thing thay could happen for the celtics offensively, tatum was constantly getting doubled in the series
@@ButtersChannel excuses
Every star player gets doubled at some point and was mostly getting 1v1 coverage since Dallas couldn't afford to double as much either.
In the clip of Brown talking that you posted, he stated that his goal was to deny Luka the ball. You can't just look at Luka's shot attempts as a measure of Brown's defense. A large part of what Brown did well was denying Luka the ball and putting enough pressure on him at half court to make him pass to a teammate who then took a bad shot. I think your analysis of his defense is too narrow in scope.
Additionally, Brown was more consistent than Tatum and had memorable shots to help close out games and secure wins.
Not saying that Tatum didn't also deserve consideration for MVP, but chalking it up to just the voters being dumb is very poor analysis imo.
did you really expect hoops report to provide an accurate and unbiased analysis on basketball? 😂😂😂😂 (also u forgot to mention brown outplayed tatum in all the games that mattered)
@@yourkneecapslackseasoning6658 brown performed in game 1-3 and tatum 4-5
brown played way better defense hunting luka at half court.
meanwhile luka is hunting tatum out on defense and im surprise tatum did so badly on defense against luka.
I don't think I've heard a single person say it should be Tatum. No, Brown didn't win just because defense but because he always showed up. We all watched and there was a clear separation between the two. There is a case for Jrue over Tatum as the runner up too. This just sounds like someone looking at the stat sheet and picking the highest numbers. If it was that simple we wouldn't need voting
These are the type of comments I see everywhere. I truly don’t think we watch games the same way. Somehow people that agree with you see Brown playing well in “high pressure” moments and then make statements like “he showed up when it matters” so my question is does the rest of the game not matter? Does the fact that when Tatum would be on the bench the Mavericks would go on runs to make it a close game not matter? Tatum is the reason Brown could even be in those moments. Tatum was the offense and brown did his job by capping it off. Tatum didn’t have an efficient shooting finals but damn he was phenomenal in every other category.
Brown was 7-of-23 in the clinching game. if they lose that game, we're all pointing at Brown as the reason. luckily for him, the Celtics' absurdly stacked roster finally translated into a title in spite of Brown and Tatum underperforming.
I’m not saying Tatum should’ve won but to say Brown always showed up and Tatum didn’t is ridiculous. Even when Tatum was having struggles shooting the ball in game 1 and 2, he averaged 10 rebounds and 8 and half assists. Brown was not good at all in games 4 and 5 offensively and he had a very minimal effect on the game on that side of the ball. Tatum also put the team on his back in game 5 to close the series.
Brown last 2 games was 3/12 and the clinching games was horrible,Tatum was more efficient the last 2 games
@@ethanshirk561well, Tatum only showed up 1 game in the finals, shooting wise
Tatum assisted on 33% of Brown's assisted field goals this finals, the highest percentage of any duo ever. Tatum was a willing passer and facilitator, he ran the offense and took on the less 'sexy' assignment of guarding the Mavs centres and taking away the lob threat that killed every other team. It was clear how the defense was set up to neutralize Tatum and he took it in stride, the dude played exceptional unselfish basketball. Any real hooper with some IQ would see that he didn't have the big moments, but the only reason they were close enough to be in the big moments was because of his play up to that point.
He played like the SMOTY not a superstar on a max.
@@michaelsun-qh5xe he played to win, that's what everyone has been criticizing him for not doing.
I'm not saying Brown didn't deserve the award.
But I hate the narrative that Brown is and has been consistently better than Tatum, especially in big games. Tatum was much better in 2023 and 2022 postseasons (except the Finals series) and even this series Brown had 3 good games and 2 bad games (had more points in game 4 but wasn't the better player). I would actually say Tatum was the more consistent player, tho JB had higher highs, but also lower lows. His defense was good but so was Tatums and I'm not talking about just defending Doncic, but eliminating Mavs short roll option.
Why y’all discrediting him let him have the trophy he was overall better
Mavs fan here. JB was more impactful defensively than JT. JB was more offensively than Jrue and White. To me, it seemed JT padded his stats when games was already out of reach.
Tatum is the best player on the team. He's been in contention for MVP for the last 3 seasons with 5 consecutive all-star appearances. While Tatum did "choke" he led the team in points, rebounds, and assists. That being said Celtics proved that the model of any championship team is having a good team, not just a duo or big three. BUT That being said - The FMVP deservedly went to Brown but it could have gone to others like Jrue or Porzingis (if he didn't get injured) But more so than that Brown was the first key piece in Boston that along with Horford that has been here the longest and created the culture for this team to win. Brown showed leadership for the Celtics and defended the best player on the Mavericks team (Luka Doncic). The Celtics as a team are exceptional so who gets the awards doesn't take away from the team's amazing success or how good Tatum is.
Your arguments really have nothing to do with picking a finals MVP.
JT saw the bigger picture despite the constant media comparison. Whatever it takes to win even if he’s a temp role player assisting and passing.
tatum stat padding when series was already done, that's when he shows up
Waiting for your video on how the warriors losing klay means they are tricking the entire nba
Brown outscored Tatum through the first 4 games. Tatum scored 10 more than Brown in game 5, but Tatum had 11 in the 4th and the Celtics were up by 19 going into that period and won by 18.
That 19 point lead shit in contradictory because game one they was up by 19 and brown was still shooting, rightfully so you don't wanna blow a big lead like that but brown stat padded game one but I consider that to just be game managing tbh ,and game 3 he did the same but they blew the lead again so I don't consider staying in the game making sure you win is stat padding,Luka was still in the game down by 30 he was going to get his numbers lol plus Tatum outscored brown the last 3 games ,Tatum was actually in rhythm but the team wasn't giving any help
@@DaMillerBoi WHAT? did you even watch the game omfg. the only reason they were up for 19 is because of brown. the moment brown wen to the bench to rest.
tatum tried so hard to statpadd and missed 4-5 heavily contested shot and 3s.
the mavs came back storming, and they put brown back in. and of course the infamous mavs 20-2 timeout.
watch the game please.
tatum tried to statspadd in game 1-3. game 1 and 2 he can't even score against benchwarmer. game 3 we almost lost the lead because of him.
and did you forget how bad tatum was defensively against luka? to the point luka was hunting tatum on defense and i was surprised that tatum did that poorly against luka
brown perform for 1-3 and tatum game 4-5.
brown is straight out hunting luka on both ends to make sure luka is dread tired.
and you haven't factor in that there are many moments where luka tried to create shot but end up passing because he was going nowhere, became tired( playing offense only), passive against the more physical brown.
people really didn't watch the finals to know that luka is hunting tatum out on defense, and to our surprise tatum is doing so badly defensively against luka.
so yeah brown is fmvp.
btw did people really forget tatum tried to statspadd in 4th quarter in pacers and mavs series against benchwarmers to padd his stats? lmao
Brown showed up in big moments. Tatum had better stats sure… despite the fact he shot terribly. However if u watched u would know brown played better
The media was comparing him to Kobe which is fine, the sports media do that all the time. What bothered a lot of people was when Tatum embraced the Kobe comparison.
Brown made the clutch shots when it mattered.
Tatum kept jacking up heavily contested step back threes and bricking mid range fadeaways.
I’m happy for Brown, but people are using Brown’s MVP to bring down Tatum and I personally think Tatum should’ve won the MVP because all the things he did to obtain the victory and not just about scoring. He made his teammates better. But this guy is hated and I can’t see why. He is a great player, a good role model for the youngsters, a great teammate and never had an off the court controversy like Ja Morant. Then why the obsession with seeing Tatum fail? Is just mind boggling to me. I really hope he keeps winning and prove people wrong.
Fun fact: Kobe is a Celtics fan and loved the Celtics when he was younger
That's funny cause it's the other way around for Tatum. Lakers fan as a kid, who ended up on the Celtics.
Youre missing some really important context here that diesnt show up in the box scores. Luka did almost all of his damage in the first half, and was pretty awful in the second half. It wasnt because Brown was racking up plays with counting stats; it was because he took him on all the way up the floor over and over, wore him out, and he didnt have legs to close games. No one can guard Luka and stop him. But Jaylen outworked him and wore him out. Then Jaylen hit late game-closing shots and was very effective late in games whej Luka disappeared. Jaylens physicality set the tone for Boston on both ends of the floor, and the timeliness of his baskets was a huge factor. Jaylen deserved the MVP.
You said what I want to say, medias don't want to give Tatum FMVP. They afraid Tatum with 3 1st team + FMVP at age 26, already surpasses some of the great basketball players.
Brown didn’t just cover Luka on ball, he also stayed glued on him off ball and prevented him from even getting the ball. You don’t need stats to tell you who was the most impactful player in the series. It was Brown. I love Tatum, but Brown seized the moment and had momentum shifting plays multiple times while playing lockdown defense all series.
Brown was consistent and didnt shy away from the challenge. These playoffs illustrated why Tatum is never gonna be a 1A guy on a winning team. The dude was shooting a 30% clip until game 5
Tatum was clearly the best player of his team just at the final Finals game. He was also shooting with 39%. So he was not good offensively. There was only one player that was great at both offense and defense and is called Jrue Holiday. He played amazing defense, he had the less usage%, but his was amazing at TS% and eFG%.
why are sports writers and Journalist are voting for finals MVP does it not pose to be NBA fans voting 🤷
is it not supposed to be
This is why analytics ruins sports. Use your eyeballs and you’ll see Brown was the one
this is simply like when Iguodala received the finals MVP award instead of Curry.
Same dude who talks about efficiency isn't talking about it rn just to push your stupid agenda in this video
Yeah, I would talk about it. But their efficiencies were about the same in this series.
Finals f e p is not given to the best player in the league, it's given to the best player in the finals.
Tatum 2024-25 NBA Finals MVP
I predicted for them my hometown Celtics to win 2020, 21, 22, 23, 24(🏆), and now I'm predicting 2025.🏆☘️☝🏽
The real reason....
He didn't do The Paul Pierce moment
The Tatum hate is corny
They did it. What they gonna say now?
@@lazyhusbandtook that quote from Curry, Tatum can’t be original at all
@@Goo_FYLoC Can't "steal" finals quotes if you don't win the Finals
@@SUPREMELYTrill still a cornball. He’s everyone but himself. Bro lacks originality
Look at fg%, 3p%. Tatum basically had 2 good games out of 5 where he scored a lot (on mediocre efficiency) which bumps up his average for the series. Jaylen Brown had 4 good games out of 5 and spent a lot of time guarding the most offensively productive player in the league. Honestly I don't think either of them was clearly better than the other, and I think Jrue Holiday also had some really good games (he had a terrible game in game 4, but so did the whole team more or less), and Porzingis in game 1 was crazy good and pretty good in game 2 as well. Ultimately the Celtics had a lot of very good players but no single player who was far and away the best. Tough to decide who to give the award in a case like that. I also wonder if Jaylen Brown not making an All-NBA team while Tatum was First Team influenced who they gave the award to. Ultimately it seems fair to me, I don't think Tatum was robbed. I don't think Brown was obviously better or anything but I think he deserved it.
The reason i thought why he didn't win is because he didn't really do it when it mattered especially early in the series which decided it
The points in the 5th game were irrelevant. Also in the 3rd game, Jaylen Brown was better when he scored the most which was arguably the most important game
I think it's because the NBA feels like they owe Brown. He's only made 1 All-NBA team, & 3 All-Star teams (2 of those were reserve selections due to injuries, if im not mistakin'). Other than that, he does have many accolades or awards. The ring & Finals MVP levels out his resume a bit more. Tatum is younger & has plenty of time to win both of the MVP trophies.
It was more about Luka. Luka's star clout.
Like how both Iggy and Kawhi won Finals MVP for guarding Lebron. Brown won for guarding Luka.
A player can't be special if all he does is imitate, it might be the highest form of flattery, but let's not use that as a way to define us as players and fans.
Except Kobe but we might never get someone like that again
People said exactly this when Kobe was Tatum's age and Shaq was winning the Laker's FMVP's. But now most everyone would say that Kobe is better than Shaq... Tatum has many more years to prove he is special. Just cause you start out imitating doesn't mean that's where it will end. Tatum will grow out of Kobe's shadow, just as Kobe did Jordan's. This is coming from a Jaylen Brown stan.
Brown won because he did more than he was expected to, and Tatum did less. Anyone watching the Celtics from the time these two played together knows that Tatum has the more polished game. Still, Tatum, as gifted as he is, gives even his most ardent fans headaches because he isn't making the most of his talents. I even posit that Brown is the emotional leader of the team, while Tatum performs better when he doesn't take the brunt of leadership. I'm not upset that Brown won, as a fan, because he didn't shrink from the pressure, although I think Tatum should have won because of things he did that actually didn't show up in the stat sheet. That includes taking away the lob threat and keeping the offense running. This isn't as bad as Iguodala winning Finals MVP.
Dude! That was brilliant looking into the voters for finals mvp , such a big brain move... As someone who couldnt watch the games but is a huge Celtics fan. Thanks, seriously
It’s his 38% fg shooting that did him in. No series MVP has ever shot that bad. They can’t give the trophy to the most inefficient player on the team.
At what level did you play 'Hoop reports?:
Past HS
and this is why we watch games
Luka couldn’t move by the fourth quarter bc Brown was running him ragged on both sides of the ball. This videos crazy lol
This analysis is too real for network television 😤
HOOP REPORTS, where is the update on the worriors after the draft??? Missing your daily uploads brother
questions if his defense is elite then shows a great defensive possession
Are you going to make a video about Klay leaving I cried as a Warriors fan so many good memories I don't care that his ego got in the way these last 2 seasons I love him wish him all the best also I think we ain't making the playoffs next year because everybody is getting better except for us
Check the first 3 games when they went up 3-0. Jaylen brown was the betrer player. Tatum stats only look that good because of game 4/5
JT had better +/- than JB in every game but game 4. Not slightly better, Tatum had +19 and Brown had +3. That means Tatum elevated Celtics game, just as Jrue did, who was the best player for first two games but not at the 3rd one even tho he was Cs best scorer (same with Tatum that had worse +/- when he scores more instead of facilitating). What Brown did well, he exhausted Luka, by guarding him full court. Still don't think that was the only thing that tired Luka, hunting him was the crucial factor.
@@z0zef+/- don’t mean sht when ur a star, a high +\- means a good role player is Tatum a role player?
@@michaelsun-qh5xe Is Luka role player? or Kyrie? Both had bad games in this run (scoring and efficiency), Specially Luka had 15pt games with way better +/- than Kyrie vs LAC. Is Jokic a role player if Murray overscores him?

It wasn't just points, did Brown slow down his assists total.
Thank you for exposing the flaws in the league voting....🙌sheesh!
Ngl Brown just played better against the Mavs & he is the 2nd best player on the team
Season and final MVP should be voted by active or at least retired NBA player
Not sure why ya took a shot at Andrews as she voted for Tatum. And yes maybe she should not have gotten a vote but Smith never shut down anybody and certainly not Malika unless you mean by just shouting nonsense over them.
Didn't you see that whole episode?
@@HoopReports which episode?
@@HoopReports If you're talking about your episode, yes I did
To be honest, I only think that jayden brown won finals mvp because of his 304 million dollar contract. It must’ve probably been a waste not to give it to him, as $304 million is very big money
Last year Jaylen Brown was "nearly on the chopping block" the way people were trying to put him down because of how he played in Game 7 versus the Miami Heat. A LOT of people said he shouldnt be paid the max contract because they didn't trust him to be an effective running mate for Tatum to win a championship.
That game was etched into people's minds, even though outside of that single game, Brown was a more consistent player than Tatum against Miami. Brown's game 7 play affected how they talked about him in the post season.
For this year's series I just don't think people expected much out of Brown. A lot of reputable media personalities including on RUclips picked the Mavs to win because they "didn't trust" Tatum and Brown.
They expected Tatum to be the guy who would energize the team and be the leader on the court--but Brown did that, not Tatum.
There were several moments across different games when Brown made plays that affected the psyche of both the Celtics and the Mavericks. Theres a confidence--a hunger, a "we arent going down like last year" ferociousness that came from Brown that was infectious and absolutely affected the game.
Basketball isn't just about the numbers, it's about the energy on the court--especially in the finals its a mental game.
There are some things statistics cant capture. You yourself said that Luka kept trying to switch OFF of Brown. There is no statistic to capture intimidation.
To summarize Brown won finals MVP because:
1) The man simply played incredible basketball, showed up during moments when it seemed like the Celtics were losing momentum, and improved aspects of his game (as opposed to last year) when many people were saying he'll never improve in those areas.
2)The fact that Luka kept switching off him, tells us everything we need to know about what Luka thinks of Brown's defense. Again, there's no statistic that captures intimidation.
3) Consistency. In as much as we would love to claim that the Finals are viewed in isolation from the rest of the playoffs, it is evident that Brown was a more consistent player than Tatum throughout the entire Playoffs. There were also key plays where Brown energised or saved the team in (Game 1 buzzer beater vs Indiana!), and just from appearances seemed to showed a bit more mental fortitude--in the Finals, there were games where Tatum was clearly too much in his head and wasn't making shots (instead was an excellent playmaker).
4)This is the point that affects Finals MVP voting. Brown had more haters (from last year into this year) who disregarded him as an overpaid, "unmarketable" (Steven A Smith), sub-par running mate to Jason Tatum. He impressed his haters more than Jayson tatum impressed his.
i really thought you aint gonna put the kawhi laugh
I'm a fan of JB but if all the stats you saying is true then there could only be one explanation, what you found is analysts given birth too a seed to later evolve into a fallout of the duo , I hope JT nd JB don't bite into the idea and that mazzula can keep them together, Boston analytics needs to make them aware of the seed that's been planted
Brown hold Luka to 30 a game. He deserved it
You are just doing mental gymnastics, bro. JB played better, is the better player and deserved it more, simple as that. Stop overthinking it.
Personally I think Jrue Holiday shoulda got mvp
The real reason? Brown was better and more impactful. Brown is the engine of this team now.
Lol because J.Brown showed up and showed out is why
JT Is just not arrogant enough 😂
This Boston championship draws a lot of comparisons to the 2015 warriors were the best player (Steph) doesn’t get the fmvp and the narrative that another guy (Iggy) played better defense on the star player (Lebron) was the reason for winning. Now like Steph all those years Tatum gonna get scrutinized for not winning fmvp tho he truly deserved it. The difference is Brown is an all nba caliber player still and iggy was on the decline.
Brown showed up on all games while Tatum didn’t
LBJ averaged 36/13/9 in the 2015 Finals in a season where he averaged 25/7/6 overall. Luka averaged 29/9/6 in the 2024 Finals in a season where he averaged 34/10/9 overall. If we're drawing this comparison, then the argument for JB this year is even stronger than it was for Iggy in 2015.
[M]VP in the NFL typically goes to the QB ?
[O]ffensive scoring players of the league typically get the MVP
[N]on players getting votes for awards is a failed narrative as many are following their boss's orders.
[E]veryone who understands the game has a different set of criteria for MVP
[Y[ou all know that awards are no longer credible and yet directly affect many player's contracts
Ok, I give up, I can't figure out why some players get MVP's over others. :-P
You sounding like a hater and Ian even finished the video … if Tatum would’ve shot efficiency then he would’ve got it but the fact brown shot better and played better defense means he deserved it …
Then on top of that .. Malika Andrew’s voted for Tatum also .. but you didn’t add that in the video because it doesn’t fit your narrative but you talked about how she didn’t play organized basketball…
Led the team in sports? 1:24
Brown was the most impactful. He made key blocks, steals, and shots. Brown was unquestionably the Finals MVP through the first three games. After that, the Celtics had a stranglehold on the series.
Really don't matter at this point
Brown won because he fired up the celtics and brought the speed, and the pace the Celtics needed to get the job done.
Brown also credited Tatum because Tatum lead the whole team, making and mapping plays for the benefit of the team, not just his own stats.
I wish lebron plays unstoppable just for the old school rivalry and im not even a fan of his.
Iguodala won over Curry so it not a suprise.
10:02😊
JB was the player who had most clutch plays in the finals, it is just a fact
Focusing on one part of defense (guarding Luka) and disregarding the rest (guarding everyone else) is not really a good analytical approach and you're just cherry picking data points. Watch all 5 games start to finish then tell me who was better in defense and offense. Stats do not tell the whole picture either.
And I'm saying this as a Mavs fan. Tatum never felt like a threat. Brown was always dangerous.
Your feelings don't make it true bro, Brown wasn't getting doubled, Tatum was. That simple fact tells you who your team thought was most dangerous
@homiefizzle5260 "Brown wasn't being doubled, Tatum was" lmao...
This video is a mess. Brown had the better series...PERIOD!
the Tatum glazing is craaaaazy
It’s actually Luka glazing. They’re saying there defence made no difference to his offence. It clearly did as Luka struggled with turnovers with the game and shoot below his regular playoff averages. As a Celtics fan could’ve gone either way but I’m happy Brown got his recognition.
Why is the nba not voting for mvp? Why is it some random fat guy behind a computer screen who doesn’t even hoop? If someone wins 4-1 and their best player has the best stats. He clearly contributed the most to the win by scoring playmaking and rebounding. No way Tatum isn’t mvp
Tatum was spamming emotes 😭🙏
Dude did you even watch the games? lmao
Idc we won 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
they say self-driving cars aren't ready yet, but then how do you explain the Celtics bus driving itself?
truth is, no one was MVP. it was just a stacked team vs a one-man show
Holy cow, you're a fing LEGEND 🔥🔥🔥 incredible research and work put in! Keep it up 🤙💜
Thanks Julian!

He played better in game 4 than everyone else in the first place but we all know that doesn't count. Everything is accurate if we are taking only scoring into account. Bro actually contributed on everything else.
Games 1 and 2, Tatum was the anchor in playmaking, setting up everyone else on the team to score and still played well defensively. He wasn't the greatest on the court, but he wasn't trash. Game 4, the whole team didn't play well.
