Wow Zoya, you're way out there.
That Constable guy isn't too far behind, either.

If Tatum maintains his shooting (playoff TS% currently at 54.7%) and Celtics win the title, he'd still be in good company lol. Playoff Jrue at #3! MJ twice. Wade twice. Tim Duncan? KG! Larry Legend!

But I suggest he start making some shots.

Rebounds, assists, defense all great. But we need him to score now. I think KP is done, which means efficently generated 17-18 points is gone. Somebody should step up to fill the void. That's JT. Others are already at their limits.

Before age 27. One more win, JT. Lebron went 0-2.

He's 30 points away from eclipsing his idol Kobe Bryant for most playoff points before age 27. Probably just has one more game to do it.

I also liked the Porzingis bit at the end.

Tatum has been under pressure and scrutiny for years to win a title because he has been so close but not getting one. I actually think, when he gets this title, the Proverbial "monkey" will be off his back and next season we will Tatum at his best ever. Imagine the difference in Performing with all the pressure off and what it can/will do for his inner confidence.

The 17.7 ppg he creates via his assists clears every other player by 3.4+ ppg, including Luka.

I'd like to see Tatum get better at decelerating, like Luka or Harden, but to a lesser degree even Jaylen Brown. Too often Tatum's rim attempts are comically bad because he's flying by at full speed.

Floor General, FMVP would make you complacent. Stay angry and hungry and yours will come. Your #0 already belongs up there.
