Tatum was drafted to a playoff team. Ofc his teams should have had more success

Luka is way better. When the going got tough Luka showed up while Tatum faded. Luka took a heavily favoured Suns team to game 7 on the road and won. And the “Luka sons” joke got even greater with the elimination of other teams by the Mavs this post-season, specifically the Timberwolves. Jaylen Brown carried the team through tough playoff situations while Tatum just didn’t show up. Only reason Tatum went to so many finals is because of his team. Can’t say he is better than Luka because of that. And it only seems like in the last 2 years Luka has a better contending team. Luka has everything to gain these finals. While Tatum and Boston have everything to lose.

Luka has got that Lebron kind of effect that whatever team he goes to their record will improve
Thats what separates him from Tatum!!!

jayson tatum had the better career so far he lost to a dynasty at a young age he has a gold medal he bouto get another chance at the Larry and another gold

@leoregulus5842
June 6, 2024 at 8:52 am
Luca, but you can make the case that it is Tatum because Tatum has been in more playoff games and gone further than Luca has!!!

for her to say plenty of us thought the celtics were gonna win the 22 title, don’t start, no one thought the warriors were gonna win the celtics fumbled that badly

Stephen A really said even though Luka has averaged more Rebs, Ast, Ppg and has a better FG% he has to go with Tatum… Give Luka the teams Tatum has had and he has 2 rings, give Tatum Luka’s teams and he has MAYBE 1 conference appearance (this season)
@John-iq7ry
June 6, 2024 at 12:16 pm
As a Celtics fan, I have to give it to Luka. The most you can say for Tatum is that he’s a better defender and has had more success in the playoffs and this is his second Finals appearance vs only one for Luka so far. But that’s largely based on him being on better teams throughout his career, including as a rookie when they went to the Eastern Conference Finals.

if luka had those celtics teams since the year tatum was drafted he would already have 2 rings by now. these ppl be tellin you reaching the finals means nothing when they talk about lebron but when it comes to tatum now its an achievement lmfaoo.
@joelercoaster
June 6, 2024 at 2:13 pm
Shannon is spot on, luka will win finals MVP and shut Stephen A up
@Edd0523
June 6, 2024 at 2:25 pm
Steven A something a Complete Idiot! After seeing other’s REAL research of these 2, Tatum came to Bos 48 & 53 win teams, while Luka’s Mav’s were a 33 & 24 win team! So to compare Playoff success from both starting from yr 1 is ignorant! But both have the same # of rings still even with Tatum’s Super teams! Tatum Looking like a Loser and not even best player on his own team! Luka By FAR the Better player than Tatum hands Down! And he will prove it in this series! Go Mavs! Mavs in 5!
@Edd0523
June 6, 2024 at 2:29 pm
If Tatum can’t win a ring with this stacked team! best 5 in NBA we hear every day! Best Defense and Offense in the NBA! Mavs don’t have a chance at all against this Big bad Boston team. We will see starting this Thursday night with game 1! Luka and Kyrie get their first ring together! Go Mavs! Can’t wait to show the World what a fraud Tatum and these celtics are!
@davidculhane4388
June 6, 2024 at 4:31 pm
I disagree with Stephen a. The celtics have had the far better Tram the past 6 years. It is a team game so measuring the team’s success isn’t an accurate measure of which player is better
@lukeambray7911
June 6, 2024 at 8:09 pm
People saying Tatum and its not even close?! Lol you guys are high. Career wise its Luka. Tatum cant even get ahead of Luke to an MVP conversation despite being on a bigger franchise while Luka has been between Lebron, Jokic and Giannis etc. Tatum top 5 in mvp convo this year Luka is Top 2

What defines a successful career is it the numbers or is the Championships if it’s the numbers Luka got that all the way if it’s championships neither one of them losing more in the finals doesn’t constitute a more successful career
