Tatum may not have time to catch Jokic-Embiid for MVP, but damn if he doesn't get first team with the way he has been playing (for a good while) I will REVOLT. Hope some on here come with me!!!

It’s scary how the game is slowing down for him and how easy it is starting to look. He used to work so hard and use up so much clock just to get a shot off. In 1-2 years (assuming good health) he just might be the best player in the game.
"I think the criticism's stupid," Stevens said. "So I don't care. I'm with Jaylen (Brown) on that. Those two had achieved more than most 25 and 26 year olds ever had. I'd rather be in the mix and have my guts ripped out than suck."

His three ball returning is scary for the league.

I am too lazy and about to Drive all night, but Tatum has to be damn close to his Idol (Kobe) at the same point in his career. So why The F not??

Anybody notice a slight difference in Tatums release lately? I heard that he tweaked it or reverted it somehow and idk it’s looked smoother the last two or so weeks to me.

Of course it could just be because they’re falling but seems more fluid than earlier in the season.

Doncic, Jokic, Embiid, DeRozan, and Tatum's respective teams currently have the same number of wins.

Tatum might be up there with the best of them in terms of WINS ADDED.

Coming out of the mouth of the guy averaging 42 PPG during that span and someone that I was told only cares about his own numbers. I don't understand, please explain :lol:

True!

It's finally confirmed that AD is injury prone.

He's more decisive going to the hoop, and that threat is giving him more airspace to get off a good shot. Also he's no longer fooling around with the ball at the arc for 6-8 seconds before launching a fadeaway. Those are mental improvements to his game.

Also he's gradually improving his handle.
