Im simply saying Tatum is much more akin to Harden than a true winner like a LeBron or Kobe. He's gonna put up great numbers and be in MVP talks every year...and he's gonna be going home early every year too.
I think if anything he lacks the talent. At least hasn't harnessed his skills to the same level as any of Lebron, Harden, or Kobe. And may never will. The kid seems really grounded, coachable, and level-headed. I'm not sure why you think he's all about chasing numbers/stats. All these superstars have ginormous egos btw, including/especially the "winners" you mentioned. If he never wins anything, it's not because of lack of right character and mindset imo.
