He's exactly 2 points in overall plus minus ahead of Jokic, while leading him in points by 300 and having only 60% of Joker's total rebounds and assists.
Not sure I'd call him the king, but undisputed top two for sure.

I love Tatum, but King is a bit strong. He is a great player and one of the top 5-7 guys in the league right now, and yeah has been a post season regular and has been pretty durable which might elevate him a bit. He might end up being the king but not there yet…not even half way through the decade yet.

Tatum is my guy but king is trolling. But yea he has a good chance to cement his legacy this season if he wins another title. He might not be top 5 but his acolades might make him standout vs some of his contemporaries despite them being better indvidual players.

Player with the most stacked teams in the decade for sure.
Maybe he can win fmvp first?

He hasn’t even won MVP for a season…

King was weirdly better than MVP tbh

In 15 years time I look forward to these inflated numbers being the foundation of 'individual impact' arguments on our player comparison board

I'd prefer to not have him in an MVP conversation. Individual accolades are a distraction for this team.
I love it for guys like Jokic who is a total wizard willing his team to higher ceilings than they would otherwise; whereas Boston would still be damn good without Tatum.

He isn't even the MVP of his own team.

MVP of the decade with zero MVP's (or FMVP's) to his name.

He has never been a top 5 player at any season of his career.

Tatum is a great player, but not once has he been considered the best player in the league in a season, nor likely top 3.

That’s not true. He is clearly the Celtics MVP.

He was 4th in MVP voting in 2023. Top 5 in a composite of impact stats that year.

In the RS. In the playoffs it's been Brown when it matters.
