This just further proves that 99.9% of the Tatum hate is really just people trying their hardest to pretend his entire career hasn't happened. Pray for them

Bombshell: The Browns are finalizing a trade that will send two-time Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams, per @rapsheet, @TomPelissero and me.
In exchange for Garrett, the Rams are expected to send Pro-Bowl edge Jared Verse, a 2027 first-round pick and other draft-pick compensation still being negotiated to the Browns.
The discourse around Tatum's 2024 run is the closest we've ever been to someone not named LeBron getting the LeBron-level hate treatment from the media
He was getting killed for production like this in WINS, while players since are celebrated for doing much less
This gon get hate cuz of the playoffs but this was a no brainer based off the regular season (which is what the award is about). No way should any of these awards be coming out a week or so before the Finals
In 2024 the Cs won 64 games and Tatum led the team in points, rebounds and assists, but was left off the MVP ballot entirely. Boston media clowns never stuck up for him, but JB is โdisrespectedโ for finishing sixth. ๐คฃ๐คฃ
Itโs not only been 8 straight years of an international MVP, but also 6 straight years of international players finishing 1st & 2nd, and 5 straight years of international players finishing 1st, 2nd & 3rd!
The last American to finish in the top 2 of MVP voting? LeBron in 2020.
Just in: Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid has been ruled out for Game 2 tonight against the New York Knicks due to ankle and hip injuries, sources tell ESPN.
Itโs fair to expect and need much better from a supermax player.
It makes roster building a lot harder with the new CBA if he canโt get them to be at least treading water when JT sits
โI think [Cade Cunningham] has, in this moment, become the greatest American player in the league. Itโs him and Ant fighting for it.โ
Agree with @Chris_Broussard? ๐
This isn't a personal knock on Brown at all (if anything, it's just as much on Mazzulla) but the Celtics have won a whopping one series in the Jays era where Brown had a higher usage rate than Tatum. One.. Brown has had the highest usage on the team in every series loss since '23
