💯 Tatum deserves all credit and praise he played like a team player and was least selfish out of all, you right, we would of blamed him like last several years, glad he demoted himself to let someone better shine, that does take leadership skills.

Jayson Tatum is so underrated and under appreciated 🙏✝️💯
The past 4 years the celtics have been in the playoffs and finals he’s carried them and has always been solid 🤙🏽💪🏽💯
He has a complete game 🤙🏽💪🏽💯
He reminds me of kobe…
Inside/post and defense is always solid…
He doesn’t get a lot of calls I believe he should but he never dramatizes the non calls 🙏✝️💯
Don’t get me wrong…
Jaylen Brown was a beast this year and Derrick White was solid this year…
But I see Tatum’s complete game and is very deserving of at least mvp consideration these past few years 🤙🏽💪🏽💯
Blest JT🤙🏽💪🏽💯🙏✝️💯

People can hate on him all they want, at the end of the day he showed up when he needed to whether he needed to facilitate or score the basketball. Him and Jaylen Brown were the two best players this series and the celtics were the better team. The celtics earned this championship.
