If joker didn’t win last year he’d have to deal with the same thing even though he won multiple mvps.
True. But, he really shouldn't be under the microscope more than players who have already won MVPs but have yet to win championships, such as Embiid and Harden. Especially Embiid, considering that almost everyone ranks him above Tatum. And he probably shouldn't be any more under the microscope than other players that are considered better than him but have yet to win a championship, such as Doncic and SGA.
In any event, I really couldn't give a whit if Tatum wins MVP or what criticism he gets. All I care is if the Celtics win a championship, whether he plays really well or not.
'Microscope unless ring' is a bit strong for a 26-year old.
Depends, is he supposed to be that guy ? A potential all time great? If C’s fans are gonna gargle his nuts and make him out to be the next great, then microscope it is, at some point at least.
Even Bron who had the media in his back pocket had them turn on him once he choked hard.
Not saying Tatum is at that point but I think you get my point.
